Abstract

Query processing statistics are logged in a multi-database system containing a plurality of system databases. A plurality of query log entries generated using information regarding the execution of a plurality of queries are temporarily stored in a database query log (DBQL). The information is received from a plurality of system databases. Each query log entry is generated using information regarding execution of one query by the plurality of system databases. Each query log entry includes a field identifying a system database that was the source of the information in that entry. An express request is created upon occurrence of a triggering event. The express request contains a subset of the query log entries temporarily stored in the DBQL cache. The created express request is transmitted to a plurality of system databases and the contents of the transmitted express request are stored in each of plurality of system databases to which it was transmitted.
