You can view the execution plan in DBeaver by following these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open DBeaver and connect to your database.<\/li>\n
  2. Expand the database connection in the left side navigation bar, then expand the database where you want to view the execution plan, and finally expand the “Tables” tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Right-click on the table you want to view the execution plan for and select “SQL Editor”.<\/li>\n
  4. Write the query in SQL editor to view the execution plan. For example, you can write a simple SELECT statement to query the data in a table.<\/li>\n
  5. On the toolbar of the SQL editor, there is a “Execute Plan” button (an eye icon). Clicking on this button will display the execution plan of the query.<\/li>\n
  6. The execution plan will be displayed in a new window, providing detailed information about query optimization and execution. You can view the logical and physical execution plans of the query, as well as detailed information about the various steps and operations in the execution plan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note that the availability and detailed information of the execution plan depend on the database and query statement you are using. Different database management systems may have different ways to view the execution plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
