Abstract
An apparatus for filtering a set of query statements according to query explain data associated therewith includes a processor for executing instructions and a memory device having thereon modules of operational data and executable code for execution by the processor. The modules include a filter generation module configured to receive user-specified filtering criteria directed to a subset of the query explain data for at least one query statement and generate in response at least one user-defined filter. The modules also include a statement filtering module configured to apply the user-defined filter to the set of query statements to selectively exclude query statements not satisfying the filtering criteria of the at least one filter.
