Query Statistics

If you execute a query programmatically (as described in Executing Business Intelligence Queries Programmatically), you can call the %PrintStatistics() method of your result set. For example:

SAMPLES>do rs1.%PrintStatistics()
Query Statistics:
 Results Cache:                        0
 Query Tasks:                          1
 Computations:                        15
 Cache Hits:                           0
 Cells:                               10
 Slices:                               0
 Expressions:                          0
 
 Prepare:                          0.874 ms
 Execute Axes:                   145.762 ms
  Columns:                         0.385 ms
  Rows:                          144.768 ms
   Members:                      134.157 ms
 Execute Cells:                    6.600 ms
 Consolidate:                      1.625 ms
 Total Time:                     154.861 ms
 
ResultSet Statistics:
 Cells:                                0
 Parse:                            3.652 ms
 Display:                          0.000 ms
 Total Time:                       3.652 ms

The values shown here are as follows:

Query Statistics — This group of statistics gives information about the query, which returned a result set. It does not include information on what was done to use that result set.
- Results Cache is 1 if the results cache was used or is 0 otherwise.
- Query Tasks counts the number of tasks into which this query was divided.
- Computations indicates how much time was spent performing intermediate computations such as aggregating a measure according to its aggregation option. It does not include evaluating MDX expressions.
- Cache Hits counts the number of times an intermediate cache was used.
- Cells counts all the cells of the result set as well as any intermediate cells that were computed.
- Slices counts the number of cube slices in the query. This count indicates the number of items on the WHERE clause.
- Expressions indicates how much time was spent evaluating MDX expressions.
  When the cache is used, Computations, Cache Hits, Cells, and Expressions are all zero.
- Prepare, Execute Axes, Execute Cells, and Consolidate indicate how long different parts of the query processing took place. These parts are listed in order.
- Total Time is the sum of those parts.
  When the cache is used, Execute Cells and Consolidate are both zero, because those parts of the processing are not performed.
ResultSet Statistics — This group of statistics gives information about what was done to use the result set after it was returned by the result set. The values are as follows:
- Cells counts the number of cells in the result set.
- Parse indicates how long it took to parse the result set.
- Display indicates how long it took to display it.
- Total Time is the sum of those times.
