Examples

Query the watch list of runaway queries:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RUNAWAY_WATCHES\G

The output is as follows:

*************************** 1. row ***************************
                 ID: 20003

Add a watch item into list to the resource group rg1:

QUERY WATCH ADD RESOURCE GROUP rg1 SQL TEXT EXACT TO 'select * from sbtest.sbtest1';

Query the watch list of runaway queries again:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RUNAWAY_WATCHES\G

The output is as follows:

The meaning of each column field in the RUNAWAY_WATCHES table is as follows:

• ID: the ID of the watch item.
• RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME: the name of the resource group.
• START_TIME: the start time.
• END_TIME: the end time. UNLIMITED means that the watch item has an unlimited validity period.
• WATCH: the match type of the quick identification. The values are as follows:
  • Plan indicates that the Plan Digest is matched. In this case, the WATCH_TEXT column shows the Plan Digest.
  • Similar indicates that the SQL Digest is matched. In this case, the WATCH_TEXT column shows the SQL Digest.
  • Exact indicates that the SQL text is matched. In this case, the WATCH_TEXT column shows the SQL text.
• SOURCE: the source of the watch item. If it is identified by the QUERY_LIMIT rule, the identified TiDB IP address is displayed. If it is manually added, manual is displayed.
• ACTION: the corresponding operation after the identification.
