Instance Method Details

#collecting_queries_for_explain ⇒ Object

Relation#explain needs to be able to collect the queries regardless of whether auto explain is enabled. This method serves that purpose.

  return yield, current[:available_queries_for_explain]

  # Note that the return value above does not depend on this assigment.
  current[:available_queries_for_explain] = original
end

#exec_explain(queries) ⇒ Object

Makes the adapter execute EXPLAIN for the tuples of queries and bindings. Returns a formatted string ready to be logged.

        bind_msg = bind.map {|col, val| [col.name, val]}.inspect

  end.join("\n")
end

#logging_query_plan ⇒ Object

If auto explain is enabled, this method triggers EXPLAIN logging for the queries triggered by the block if it takes more than the threshold as a whole. That is, the threshold is not checked against each individual query, but against the duration of the entire block. This approach is convenient for relations.

The available_queries_for_explain thread variable collects the queries to be explained. If the value is nil, it means queries are not being currently collected. A false value indicates collecting is turned off. Otherwise it is an array of queries.

      result
    ensure
      current[:available_queries_for_explain] = nil
    end
  else
    yield
  end
end

#silence_auto_explain ⇒ Object

Silences automatic EXPLAIN logging for the duration of the block.

This has high priority, no EXPLAINs will be run even if downwards the threshold is set to 0.

As the name of the method suggests this only applies to automatic EXPLAINs, manual calls to ActiveRecord::Relation#explain run.
