Queries to Extract Features

• execution time

select (endtime - starttime) as execution_time_in_ms 
from stl_query 
where query = QUERY_ID;

• from tables

select replace(regexp_substr(sql_body, 'from\\s+[^\\(\\s]+'), 'from ', '') 
from (select listagg(text) within group (order by sequence) as sql_body 
      from stl_querytext 
      where query = QUERY_ID);

• joined in tables

select distinct replace(regexp_substr(sql_body, 'join\\s+[^\\(\\s]+'), 'join ', '') 
from (select listagg(text) within group (order by sequence) as sql_body 
      from stl_querytext 
      where query = QUERY_ID);

• from table size (gb)

select count(tbl) / 1000.0 as gb 
from (select distinct datname
        , id
        , name 
      from stv_tbl_perm 
      join pg_database 
      on pg_database.oid = db_id) as t 
join stv_blocklist 
on tbl = t.id 
where name = TABLE_NAME;

• filters (this need a lot of work)

select distinct replace(regexp_substr(sql_body, '(where\\s+[^\\(]+\\s+)[^(\\s+group\\s+by|order\\s+by|having|limit)]+'), 'where ', '') 
from (select query
        , listagg(text) within group (order by sequence) as sql_body 
      from stl_querytext 
      where query = QUERY_ID);

• from table locks

select count(*) 
from stl_tr_conflict 
where table_id = TABLE_ID 
and xact_start_ts >= QUERY_START_TIME 
and abort_time <= QUERY_END_TIME;

• number of concurrent queries

   , plannode 
from stl_explain 
where query = QUERY_ID;

select event 
from stl_alert_event_log 
where query = QUERY_ID;

• query-planner solutions

select solution 
from stl_alert_event_log
where query = QUERY_ID;

• number of concurrent ddl statements

select count(*) 
from stl_ddltext 
where starttime >= QUERY_START_TIME
and endtime <= QUERY_END_TIME;

• from table column encoding (PostgreSQL only)

select json_object_agg(columnname, encoding) 
from table_info 
where tablename = TABLE_NAME;

• from table column sortkey (PostgreSQL only)

select json_object_agg(columnname, sortkey) 
from table_info 
where tablename = TABLE_NAME;

• from table column distkey (PostgreSQL only)

select json_object_agg(columnname, distkey) 
from table_info 
where tablename = TABLE_NAME;

• join table column encoding

...

• join table column sortkey

...
