Query Execution Plan

If your database driver supports it, you can view the execution plan for a query:

  • Press Shift+Ctrl+E (Shift+CMD+E on macOS)
  • Or click Explain execution plan (Execution Plan Button) on the main toolbar

The execution plan opens in a new result tab as a query execution tree. It helps you estimate whether the query or script is efficient.

Tip

Click any row in the plan to view detailed statistics in the panel on the right.
