Abstract
A system and method for specifying custom qualifiers for explain tables allows a user to designate selected explain tables for which the user wishes to view statements. A query explain program is provided and configured with an explain table qualifier designation module for receiving a user designation of a query explain table to reference. The user selects a function of the query explain program to perform and then designates the qualifier of the query explain table to be referenced. The function is then performed in conjunction with the contents of the selected query explain table.
