Query statistics section provides performance debugging information
If the EXPLAIN_STAT configuration parameter is enabled,
a Query Statistics section appears in the explain output file that
the SET EXPLAIN statement of SQL and the onmode -Y session_id command
displays.
The Query Statistics section of the explain output file shows the
estimated number of rows that the query plan expects to return, the
actual number of returned rows, and other information about the query.
You can use this information, which provides an indication of the
overall flow of the query plan and how many rows flow through each
stage of the query, to debug performance problems.
The following example shows query statistics in SET EXPLAIN output.
If the estimated and actual number of rows scanned or joined are quite
different, the statistics on those tables might be old and should
be updated.
