Using a Database Query

Using a Database Query

To identify source bottlenecks, execute the read query directly against the source database.
Copy the read query directly from the session log. Execute the query against the source database with a query tool such as isql. On Windows, you can load the result of the query in a file. On UNIX, you can load the result of the query in /dev/null.
Measure the query execution time and the time it takes for the query to return the first row.
