STL_WINDOW - Amazon Redshift

STL_WINDOW

Analyzes query steps that perform window functions.

STL_WINDOW 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_WINDOW only contains queries run on main clusters. It doesn't contain queries run on concurrency scaling clusters. To access queries run on both main and concurrency scaling clusters, 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.
is_diskbased character(1) If true (t), the query was performed as a disk-based operation. If false (f), the query was performed in memory.
workmem bigint Total number of bytes in working memory that were assigned to the step.

Sample queries

The following example returns window function results for slice 0 and segment 3.

select query, tasknum, rows, is_diskbased, workmem from stl_window where slice=0 and segment=3;
query | tasknum | rows | is_diskbased | workmem -------+---------+------+--------------+---------- 86326 | 36 | 1857 | f | 95256616 705 | 15 | 1857 | f | 95256616 86399 | 27 | 1857 | f | 95256616 649 | 10 | 0 | f | 95256616 (4 rows)
