QueryScope: Visualizing Queries for Repeatable Database Tuning
Summary: QueryScope visualizes SQL queries as graphs to enable repeatable tuning of complex workloads. The demonstration supports drill-down on individual queries and retrieval of similarly structured queries to surface tuning opportunities from real-world engagements.
