[PERFORM] Predicate information in EXPLAIN Command

2013-05-14 Thread Sameer Thakur
Hello,
I am trying to find predicate information for a given SQL query plan as
provided by Oracle using DBMS_XPLAN. I am looking at the EXPLAIN command
for getting this query plan information, with no luck so far.

Does the EXPLAIN command provide predicate information?

Thank you
Sameer

Sure. For example,

postgres=# explain select * from a where id = 123;
QUERY PLAN
---
 Seq Scan on a  (cost=0.00..40.00 rows=12 width=4)
   Filter: (id = 123)
(2 rows)

The predicate is right there on the Filter line. Likewise for a join:

postgres=# explain select * from a, b where a.id = b.id;
   QUERY PLAN
-
 Hash Join  (cost=64.00..134.00 rows=2400 width=8)
   Hash Cond: (a.id = b.id)
   -  Seq Scan on a  (cost=0.00..34.00 rows=2400 width=4)
   -  Hash  (cost=34.00..34.00 rows=2400 width=4)
 -  Seq Scan on b  (cost=0.00..34.00 rows=2400 width=4)
(5 rows)

The join predicate is on the Hash Cond line.
