EXPLAIN_STREAM table

The EXPLAIN_STREAM table represents the input and output data streams between individual operators and data objects. The data objects themselves are represented in the EXPLAIN_OBJECT table. The operators involved in a data stream are to be found in the EXPLAIN_OPERATOR table.

Table 1. EXPLAIN_STREAM Table. PK means that the column is part of a primary key; FK means that the column is part of a foreign key.
Column Name	Data Type	Nullable?	Key?	Description
EXPLAIN_REQUESTER	VARCHAR(128)	No	FK	Authorization ID of initiator of this Explain request.
EXPLAIN_TIME	TIMESTAMP	No	FK	Time of initiation for Explain request.
SOURCE_NAME	VARCHAR(128)	No	FK	Name of the package running when the dynamic statement was explained or name of the source file when the static SQL was explained.
SOURCE_SCHEMA	VARCHAR(128)	No	FK	Schema, or qualifier, of source of Explain request.
SOURCE_VERSION	VARCHAR(64)	No	FK	Version of the source of the Explain request.
EXPLAIN_LEVEL	CHAR(1)	No	FK	Level of Explain information for which this row is relevant.
STMTNO	INTEGER	No	FK	Statement number within package to which this explain information is related.
SECTNO	INTEGER	No	FK	Section number within package to which this explain information is related.
STREAM_ID	INTEGER	No	No	Unique ID for this data stream within the specified operator.
SOURCE_TYPE	CHAR(1)	No	No	Indicates the source of this data stream: O Operator D Data Object
SOURCE_ID	SMALLINT	No	No	Unique ID for the operator within this query that is the source of this data stream. Set to -1 if SOURCE_TYPE is 'D'.
TARGET_TYPE	CHAR(1)	No	No	Indicates the target of this data stream: O Operator D Data Object
TARGET_ID	SMALLINT	No	No	Unique ID for the operator within this query that is the target of this data stream. Set to -1 if TARGET_TYPE is 'D'.
OBJECT_SCHEMA	VARCHAR(128)	Yes	No	Schema to which the affected data object belongs. Set to null if both SOURCE_TYPE and TARGET_TYPE are 'O'.
OBJECT_NAME	VARCHAR(128)	Yes	No	Name of the object that is the subject of data stream. Set to null if both SOURCE_TYPE and TARGET_TYPE are 'O'.
STREAM_COUNT	DOUBLE	No	No	Estimated cardinality of data stream.
COLUMN_COUNT	SMALLINT	No	No	Number of columns in data stream.
PREDICATE_ID	INTEGER	No	No	If this stream is part of a subquery for a predicate, the predicate ID will be reflected here, otherwise the column is set to -1.
COLUMN_NAMES	CLOB(2M)	Yes	No	This column contains the names and ordering information of the columns involved in this stream. These names will be in the format of: `NAME1(A) + NAME2(D) + NAME3(E) + NAME4` Where (A) indicates a column in ascending order, (D) indicates a column in descending order, and no ordering information indicates that either the column is not ordered or ordering is not relevant. (E) indicates a column in a column-organized table which is encoded as a result of compression, and can occur with or without ordering information.
PMID	SMALLINT	No	No	Distribution map ID.
SINGLE_NODE	CHAR(5)	Yes	No	Indicates whether this data stream is on a single or on multiple database partitions: MULT On multiple database partitions COOR On coordinator node HASH Directed using hashing RID Directed using the row ID FUNC Directed using a function (HASHEDVALUE() or DBPARTITIONNUM()) CORR Directed using a correlation value Numeric Directed to predetermined single node
PARTITION_COLUMNS	CLOB(2M)	Yes	No	List of the columns on which this data stream is distributed.
SEQUENCE_SIZES	CLOB(2M)	Yes	No	Lists the expected sequence size for XML columns, or shows "NA" (not applicable) for any non-XML columns in the data stream. Set to null if there is not at least one XML column in the data stream.
