EXPLAIN (Transact-SQL)

Si applica a: Azure Synapse Analytics (solo un pool SQL dedicato)

Restituisce il piano di query per un'istruzione SQL di Azure Synapse Analytics senza eseguire l'istruzione. Usare EXPLAIN per un'anteprima delle operazioni che richiedono lo spostamento di dati e per visualizzare i costi stimati delle operazioni di query. WITH RECOMMENDATIONS si applica ad Azure Synapse Analytics.

Sintassi

EXPLAIN [WITH_RECOMMENDATIONS] SQL_statement  
[;]  

Nota

Questa sintassi non è supportata da pool SQL serverless in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Argomenti

SQL_statement

L'istruzione SQL per la quale verrà eseguita l'istruzione EXPLAIN. SQL_statement può essere uno qualsiasi dei comandi seguenti: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, CREATE REMOTE TABLE.

WITH_RECOMMENDATIONS

Restituire il piano di query con raccomandazioni per ottimizzare le prestazioni delle istruzioni SQL.

Autorizzazioni

È necessaria l'autorizzazione SHOWPLAN autorizzazione e l'autorizzazione per eseguire SQL_statement. Vedere Autorizzazioni: GRANT, DENY, REVOKE (Azure Synapse Analytics, Parallel Data Warehouse).

Valore restituito

Il valore restituito dal comando EXPLAIN è un documento XML. Questo documento XML elenca tutte le operazioni nel piano di query per la query specificata, ognuna racchiuso nel tag <dsql_operation>. Il valore restituito è di tipo nvarchar(max).

Il piano di query restituito illustra istruzioni SQL sequenziali; quando la query viene eseguita può comportare operazioni parallelizzate, pertanto alcune delle istruzioni sequenziali visualizzate potrebbero essere eseguite contemporaneamente.

La struttura del codice XML del valore restituito è simile alla seguente:

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<dsql_query>  
  <sql>. . .</sql>  
  <params />  
  <dsql_operations>  
    <dsql_operation>  
     . . .      
    </dsql_operation>  
    [ . . . n ]  
  <dsql_operations>  
</dsql_query>  

I tag XML contengono queste informazioni:

Tag XML Riepilogo, attributi e contenuto
<dsql_query> Elemento di livello superiore o documento.
<sql> Esegue l'eco di SQL_statement.
<params> Tag attualmente non usato.
<materialized_view_candidates> (anteprima) Contiene l'istruzione CREATE della vista materializzata consigliata per ottenere prestazioni migliori dell'istruzione SQL.
<dsql_operations> Riepiloga e contiene i passaggi della query e include informazioni sui costi per la query. Contiene anche tutti i blocchi <dsql_operation>. Questo tag contiene informazioni relative ai conteggi per l'intera query:

<dsql_operations total_cost=total_cost total_number_operations=total_number_operations>

total_cost è il tempo stimato totale per l'esecuzione della query in ms.

total_number_operations è il numero totale di operazioni per la query. Un'operazione da eseguire in parallelo in più nodi viene conteggiata come operazione singola.
<dsql_operation> Descrive una singola operazione all'interno del piano di query. Il tag <dsql_operation> contiene il tipo di operazione come attributo:

<dsql_operation operation_type=operation_type>

operation_type è uno dei valori trovati in sys.dm_pdw_request_steps (Transact-SQL).

Il contenuto del blocco \<dsql_operation> dipende dal tipo di operazione.

Vedi la tabella seguente.
Tipo di operazione Contenuto Esempio
BROADCAST_MOVE, DISTRIBUTE_REPLICATED_TABLE_MOVE, MASTER_TABLE_MOVE, PARTITION_MOVE, SHUFFLE_MOVE e TRIM_MOVE Elemento <operation_cost> con questi attributi. I valori riflettono solo l'operazione locale:

- cost è il costo dell'operatore locale e visualizza il tempo stimato per l'operazione da eseguire, in ms.
- accumulative_cost è la somma di tutte le operazioni visualizzate nel piano inclusa la somma dei valori di operazioni parallele, in ms.
- average_rowsize è la dimensione media stimata (in byte) delle righe recuperate e passate durante l'operazione.
- output_rows è la cardinalità di output (nodo) e visualizza il numero di righe di output.

<location>: i nodi o le distribuzioni in cui verrà eseguita l'operazione. Le opzioni sono: "Control", "ComputeNode", "AllComputeNodes", "AllDistributions", "SubsetDistributions", "Distribution" e "SubsetNodes".

<source_statement>: i dati di origine per lo spostamento casuale.

<destination_table>: la tabella temporanea interna in cui i dati verranno spostati.

<shuffle_columns>: applicabile solo alle operazioni SHUFFLE_MOVE. Una o più colonne che verranno usate come colonne di distribuzione per la tabella temporanea.
<operation_cost cost="40" accumulative_cost="40" average_rowsize = "50" output_rows="100"/>

Limiti

È possibile applicare EXPLAIN solo a query a ottimizzabili, ovvero a query che possono essere migliorate o modificate in base ai risultati di un comando EXPLAIN. I comandi EXPLAIN supportati sono disponibili nella sezione precedente. Se si tenta di usare EXPLAIN con un tipo di query non supportato, verrà restituito un errore o verrà eseguito l'eco della query.

EXPLAIN non è supportato nelle transazioni utente.

Esempi

L'esempio seguente illustra un comando EXPLAIN eseguito per un'istruzione SELECT e il risultato XML.

Invio di un'istruzione EXPLAIN

Il comando inviato per questo esempio è:

-- Uses AdventureWorks  
  
EXPLAIN   
    SELECT CAST (AVG(YearlyIncome) AS int) AS AverageIncome,   
        CAST(AVG(FIS.SalesAmount) AS int) AS AverageSales,   
        G.StateProvinceName, T.SalesTerritoryGroup  
    FROM dbo.DimGeography AS G  
    JOIN dbo.DimSalesTerritory AS T  
        ON G.SalesTerritoryKey = T.SalesTerritoryKey  
    JOIN dbo.DimCustomer AS C  
        ON G.GeographyKey = C.GeographyKey  
    JOIN dbo.FactInternetSales AS FIS  
        ON C.CustomerKey = FIS.CustomerKey  
    WHERE T.SalesTerritoryGroup IN ('North America', 'Pacific')  
        AND Gender = 'F'  
    GROUP BY G.StateProvinceName, T.SalesTerritoryGroup  
    ORDER BY AVG(YearlyIncome) DESC;  
GO  

Dopo l'esecuzione dell'istruzione con l'opzione EXPLAIN, la scheda dei messaggi presenta una sola riga denominata explain che inizia con il testo XML \<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> Selezionare l'XML per aprire l'intero testo in un finestra XML. Per comprendere meglio i commenti seguenti, è necessario attivare la visualizzazione dei numeri di riga in SSDT.

Attivare i numeri di riga

  1. Con l'output visualizzato nella scheda explain di SSDT selezionare Opzioni dal menu STRUMENTI.

  2. Espandere la sezione Editor di testo, espandere XML e quindi selezionare Generale.

  3. Nell'area Visualizzazione selezionare Numeri di riga.

  4. Seleziona OK.

Output di EXPLAIN di esempio

L'XML risultante del comando EXPLAIN con i numeri di riga attivati è il seguente:

1  \<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Significato dell'output di EXPLAIN

L'output nel precedente blocco di codice contiene 144 righe numerate. L'output di questa query potrebbe essere leggermente diverso. L'elenco seguente descrive le sezioni significative.

  • Le righe da 3 a 16 forniscono una descrizione della query in corso di analisi.

  • La riga 17 specifica che il numero totale di operazioni è 9. È possibile individuare l'inizio di ogni operazione cercando le parole dsql_operation.

  • Alla riga 18 inizia l'operazione 1. Le righe 18 e 19 indicano che un'operazione RND_ID creerà un numero ID casuale che verrà usato per la descrizione di un oggetto. L'oggetto descritto nell'output di esempio è TEMP_ID_16893. Il numero sarà diverso per ogni utente.

  • Alla riga 20 inizia l'operazione 2. Righe da 21 a 25: in tutti i nodi di calcolo creano una tabella temporanea denominata TEMP_ID_16893.

  • Alla riga 26 inizia l'operazione 3. Righe da 27 a 37: spostano i dati in TEMP_ID_16893 tramite uno spostamento di trasmissione. Viene fornita la query inviata a ogni nodo di calcolo. La riga 37 specifica che la tabella di destinazione è TEMP_ID_16893.

  • Alla riga 38 inizia l'operazione 4. Righe 39 e 40: creano un ID casuale per una tabella. Nell'esempio, il numero ID è TEMP_ID_16894. Il numero sarà diverso per ogni utente.

  • Alla riga 41 inizia l'operazione 5. Righe da 42 a 46: in tutti i nodi creano una tabella temporanea denominata TEMP_ID_16894.

  • Alla riga 47 inizia l'operazione 6. Righe da 48 a 91: spostano i dati da diverse tabelle (inclusa TEMP_ID_16893) alla tabella TEMP_ID_16893 tramite un'operazione di spostamento casuale. Viene fornita la query inviata a ogni nodo di calcolo. La riga 90 specifica che la tabella di destinazione è TEMP_ID_16894. La riga 91 specifica le colonne.

  • Alla riga 92 inizia l'operazione 7. Righe da 93 a 97: in tutti i nodi di calcolo rilasciano la tabella temporanea TEMP_ID_16893.

  • Alla riga 98 inizia l'operazione 8. Righe da 99 a 135: restituiscono i risultati al client. Usa la query fornita per ottenere i risultati.

  • Alla riga 136 inizia l'operazione 9. Righe da 137 a 140: in tutti i nodi rilasciano la tabella temporanea TEMP_ID_16894.
