STL_AGGR
Analyzes aggregate execution steps for queries. These steps occur during execution of aggregate functions and GROUP BY clauses.
STL_AGGR is visible to all users. Superusers can see all rows; regular users can see only their own data. For more information, see Visibility of data in system tables and views.
Note
STL_AGGR only contains queries run on main provisioned clusters. It doesn't contain queries run on concurrency scaling clusters or on serverless namespaces. To access explain plans for queries run on both main clusters, concurrency scaling clusters, and serverless namespaces, we recommend that you use the SYS monitoring view SYS_QUERY_DETAIL. The data in the SYS monitoring view is formatted to be easier to use and understand.
Table columns
| Column name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| userid | integer | ID of the user who generated the entry. |
| query | integer | Query ID. The query column can be used to join other system tables and views. |
| slice | integer | Number that identifies the slice where the query was running. |
| segment | integer | Number that identifies the query segment. |
| step | integer | Query step that ran. |
| starttime | timestamp | Time in UTC that the query started. Total time includes queuing and execution. with 6 digits of precision for fractional seconds. For example: 2009-06-12 11:29:19.131358. |
| endtime | timestamp | Time in UTC that the query finished. Total time includes queuing and execution. with 6 digits of precision for fractional seconds. For example: 2009-06-12 11:29:19.131358. |
| tasknum | integer | Number of the query task process that was assigned to run the step. |
| rows | bigint | Total number of rows that were processed. |
| bytes | bigint | Size, in bytes, of all the output rows for the step. |
| slots | integer | Number of hash buckets. |
| occupied | integer | Number of slots that contain records. |
| maxlength | integer | Size of the largest slot. |
| tbl | integer | Table ID. |
| is_diskbased | character(1) | If true (t), the query was run as a disk-based operation. If false (f), the query was run in memory. |
| workmem | bigint | Number of bytes of working memory assigned to the step. |
| type | character(6) | The type of step. Valid values are:
|
| resizes | integer | This information is for internal use only. |
| flushable | integer | This information is for internal use only. |
Sample queries
Returns information about aggregate execution steps for SLICE 1 and TBL 239.
