The workbench for Capella Columnar provides metrics for each query you run, and a detailed query plan in both text and graphical format.

Prerequisites

To use the workbench for Capella Columnar:

Review Query Metrics

When a query finishes, metrics for that query appear on the workbench between the query editor and the query results panes. The metrics are:

  • Last Run — The time at which the query was last executed.

  • Docs — Shows the number of returned JSON documents.

  • Size — Shows the size, in bytes, of the query result.

  • Elapsed — Shows the overall query time.

  • Execution — Shows the query execution time.

View the Query Plan

Each time Capella Columnar executes a query, an EXPLAIN command automatically runs in the background to retrieve the query plan for that query.

You can view the query plan in the query results pane: select the Plan tab.

The Plan tab presents the query execution plan in a graphical format.

Capella Columnar uses rule-based optimization to query your collections until you run an ANALYZE COLLECTION statement on each collection involved in a query. The ANALYZE statement samples the data in a collection so that cost-based optimization (CBO) can be applied. As the data in a collection changes, you can run ANALYZE COLLECTION periodically to update the information used for CBO.
