Reading the contents of the Explainable Statements window

The columns in the window provide the following information about SQL statements:

Statement number
The line number of the SQL statement in the source module of the application program. For static SQL, this number corresponds to the STMTNO column in the SYSCAT.STATEMENTS table.

Section number
The number of the section within the package that is associated with the SQL statement.

Explain snapshot
States whether an explain snapshot has been taken for the SQL statement. (If it has not been taken, you cannot view an access plan graph for the statement.)

Total cost
The estimated total cost (in timerons) of returning the query results for the selected SQL statement. (Available only if the package containing the statement has been explained previously.)

SQL text
The first 100 characters of the SQL statement. (Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window to scroll through it.)

To view the complete SQL statement, select Statement->Show SQL text.
