Query graph

The query graph is located in the left pane of the Visual Explain for... window.

The query graph represents the implementation steps of your SQL statement and the way that DB2 accesses the tables or indexes. The arrows on the graph indicate the order of the steps. Each node of the graph represents either an operation, or values returned from an operation. The nodes of the graph have different icons.

The information on the right of the graph concerns the object that was last selected. You can select different objects in the graph in order to view information about them.

Tip: You can view summary information about a particular operation by resting the mouse cursor on the icon.
