Data Description

The HDB_DBCC_EXPSTM event is used in SAP to view expensive SQL statements run on the HANA database. Expensive statements are individual SQL queries whose execution time was above a configured threshold. Expensive statements may negatively impact the performance of the database.

Potential Use Cases

This event could be used in the following scenarios:

  • Alert on long-running SQL statements.

  • Identify opportunities where performance could benefit from having an index created.

  • Correlate long-running SQL statements to the user session in the application layer.

Splunk Event

The event will look like this in Splunk:
