Query

instr_unique_sql_count

Parameter description: Specifies the maximum number of Unique SQL records to be collected. The value 0 indicates that the function of collecting Unique SQL information is disabled.

If the value is changed from a larger one to a smaller one, the original data in the system will be cleared and re-collected (the standby node does not support this function). There is no impact if the value is changed from a smaller one to a larger one.

When the number of unique SQL records generated in the system is greater than the value of instr_unique_sql_count, the extra unique SQL records are not collected.

In the x86-based centralized deployment scenario, the hardware configuration specifications are 32-core CPU and 256 GB memory. When the Benchmark SQL 5.0 tool is used to test performance, the performance fluctuates by about 3% by enabling or disabling this parameter.

This parameter is a SIGHUP parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1.

Value range: an integer ranging from 0 to 2147483647

Default value: 200000

track_stmt_parameter

Parameter description: After track_stmt_parameter is enabled, the executed statements recorded in statement_history are not normalized. The complete SQL statement information can be displayed to help the database administrator locate problems. For a simple query, the complete statement information is displayed. For a PBE statement, the complete statement information and information about each variable value are displayed. The format is query string; parameters:$1=value1,$2=value2, .... This parameter is used to display complete SQL information and is not controlled by the track_activity_query_size parameter.

track_stmt_session_slot

Default value: 4096

track_stmt_retention_time

Parameter description: Specifies the retention period of full/slow SQL statement records. This parameter is a combination of parameters. This parameter is read every 60 seconds and records exceeding the retention period are deleted. Only the sysadmin user can access this parameter.

This parameter is a SIGHUP parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1.

Value range: a string

This parameter consists of two parts in the format of 'full sql retention time, slow sql retention time'.

full sql retention time indicates the retention time of full SQL statements. The value ranges from 0 to 86400.

slow sql retention time indicates the retention time of slow SQL statements. The value ranges from 0 to 604800.

Default value: 3600,604800

track_stmt_stat_level

Parameter description: Determines the level of statement execution tracing.

This parameter is a USERSET parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1. The value is case-insensitive.

Value range: a string

This parameter consists of two parts in the format of 'full sql stat level, slow sql stat level'.

The first part indicates the tracing level of full SQL statements. The value can be OFF, L0, L1, or L2.

The second part indicates the tracing level of slow SQL statements. The value can be OFF, L0, L1, or L2.

If the full SQL tracing level is not OFF, the current SQL tracing level is the higher level (L2 > L1 > L0) of the full SQL and slow SQL statements. For details about the levels, see Table 1.

This parameter is a SIGHUP parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1.

Value range: Boolean

• on: indicates that slow query information needs to be written into log files.
• off: indicates that slow query information does not need to be written into log files.

Default value: on

query_log_file (Discarded)

Parameter description: If enable_slow_query_log is set to ON, slow query records are written into log files. query_log_file specifies the name of a slow query log file on the server. Only the sysadmin user can access this parameter. Generally, log file names are generated in strftime mode. Therefore, the system time can be used to define log file names, which are implemented using the escape character %. This function has been discarded in this version.
