Is there any documentation on the semantics of $ variables in json explain plans for both InitPlans and SubPlans in 13?
I'm trying to understand the attached json file.
- It looks like $0 represents the value from the outer query block when the correlated subquery is evaluated
- It looks like $1 represents the result of the subquery evaluation
Here are the relevant lines from the plan. (I've attached the full plan as a file.):
"Node Type": "Subquery Scan",
"Parent Relationship": "Inner",
"Parallel Aware": false,
"Alias": "ANY_subquery",
"Filter": "(qroot.sendorder = \"ANY_subquery\".col0)",
"Plans": [
{
"Node Type": "Result",
"Parent Relationship": "Subquery",
"Parallel Aware": false,
"Plans": [
{
"Node Type": "Limit",
"Parent Relationship": "InitPlan",
"Subplan Name": "InitPlan 1 (returns $1)",
"Plans": [
{
"Node Type": "Index Only Scan",
"Parent Relationship": "Outer",
"Parallel Aware": false,
"Scan Direction": "Forward",
"Index Name": "message_u_destinatio_1kk5be278gggc",
"Relation Name": "pc_message",
"Alias": "qroot0",
"Index Cond": "((destinationid = 67) AND (contactid = $0) AND (sendorder IS NOT NULL))",
Here's a formatted version of the query from the json file:
SELECT /* ISNULL:pc_message.FrozenSetID:, KeyTable:pc_message; */ qRoot.ID col0, qRoot.CreationTime col1
FROM pc_message qRoot
WHERE qRoot.DestinationID = $1 AND qRoot.Status = $2 AND qRoot.contactID IS NOT NULL AND qRoot.FrozenSetID IS NULL AND qRoot.SendOrder IN
(
SELECT MIN (qRoot0.SendOrder) col0
FROM pc_message qRoot0
WHERE qRoot0.DestinationID = $3 AND qRoot0.contactID = qRoot.contactID)
ORDER BY col1 ASC, col0 ASC LIMIT 100000
Thanks,
