Figure 4.17 - Viewing SQL statements that have columns with private information
4.6 Summary
The pureQuery tooling from ODS provides a set of views and editors to help you optimize
your new or existing applications without changing a single line of code. The tooling
includes problem isolation and impact analysis capabilities through the introduction of the
SQL Outline view and the pureQuery Analysis view.
The SQL Outline makes tasks easy by correlating SQL statements to a particular line
number of a Java class even when a framework such as JPA or Hibernate generates the
SQL. With the SQL Outline, you can gain insight into what parts of your application use
certain tables, columns or views by determining the objects referenced in the statements.
The impact analysis features of the pureQuery tooling helps DBAs and developers to work
together to come up with database changes that would have the least impact on an
application, thus mitigating or eliminating risks.
The pureQuery Analysis view shows how the values of a returned result set flow through
the Java application. For example, you can use it to see how and where a retrieved
column value of a statement is used. It can help you answer questions such as: Is it sent
back to the database or printed out in a report or simply to the Console View?
