sa_procedure_profile system procedure

Reports information about the execution time for each line within procedures, functions, events, or triggers that have been executed in a database.

Syntax

sa_procedure_profile(  
  [ filename
  [, save_to_file ] ]
)

Arguments

filename Use this optional LONG VARCHAR parameter to specify the file to which the profiling information should be saved, or from which file it should be loaded. See the Remarks section below for more about saving and loading the profiling information.
save_to_file Use this optional INTEGER parameter to specify whether to save the profiling information to a file, or load it from a previously stored file.

Result set

Column name	Data type	Description
object_type	CHAR(1)	The type of object. See the Remarks section below for a list of possible object types.
object_name	CHAR(128)	The name of the stored procedure, function, event, or trigger. If the object_type is C or D, then this is the name of the foreign key for which the system trigger was defined.
owner_name	CHAR(128)	The object's owner.
table_name	CHAR(128)	The table associated with a trigger (the value is NULL for other object types).
line_num	UNSIGNED INTEGER	The line number within the procedure.
executions	UNSIGNED INTEGER	The number of times the line has been executed.
millisecs	UNSIGNED INTEGER	The time to execute the line, in milliseconds.
percentage	DOUBLE	The percentage of the total execution time required for the specific line.
foreign_owner	CHAR(128)	The database user who owns the foreign table for a system trigger.
foreign_table	CHAR(128)	The name of the foreign table for a system trigger.

Remarks

This procedure provides the same information as the Profile tab in Sybase Central.

You can use this procedure to:

Return detailed procedure profiling information To do this, you can simply call the procedure without specifying any arguments.
Save detailed procedure profiling information to file To do this, you must include the filename argument and specify 1 for the save_to_file argument.
Load detailed procedure profiling information from a previously saved file To do this, you must include the filename argument and specify 0 for the save_to_file argument (or leave it off, since the default is 0). When using the procedure in this way, the loaded file must have been created by the same database as the one from which you are running the procedure; otherwise, the results may be unusable.

Since the result set includes information about the execution times for individual lines within procedures, triggers, functions, and events, and what percentage of the total procedure execution time those lines use, you can use this profiling information to fine-tune slower procedures that may decrease performance.

Before you can profile your database, you must enable profiling. See Enable procedure profiling.

The object_type column of the result set can be:

P stored procedure
F function
E event
T trigger
C ON UPDATE system trigger
D ON DELETE system trigger

If you want summary information instead of line by line details for each execution, use the sa_procedure_profile_summary procedure instead.

Permissions

Side effects

Example

The following statement returns the execution time for each line of every procedure, function, event, or trigger that has been executed in the database:

CALL sa_procedure_profile( );

The following statement returns the same detailed procedure profiling information as the example above, and saves it to a file called detailedinfo.txt:

CALL sa_procedure_profile( "detailedinfo.txt", 1 );

Either of the following statements can be used to load detailed procedure profiling information from a file called detailedinfoOLD.txt:

CALL sa_procedure_profile( "detailedinfoOLD.txt", 0 );

CALL sa_procedure_profile( "detailedinfoOLD.txt" );
