    SQL Explorer and Audit records and analyzes SQL execution across your database instances. To use this feature, enable DAS Enterprise Edition.

    DAS Enterprise Edition

    DAS Enterprise Edition extends DAS Basic Edition with SQL Explorer and Audit. Use it to view detailed SQL information, troubleshoot performance issues, identify high-risk sources, and run traffic playback and stress testing to evaluate whether your instance specifications can handle traffic spikes. The main features include:

    • Search: Query and export SQL statements and related information, such as the database, status, and execution time. For more information, see Audit.

    • ️SQL Explorer: Diagnose SQL health, troubleshoot performance issues, and analyze business traffic. For more information, see SQL Explorer.

    • Security Audit: Automatically identify risks such as high-risk SQL statements, SQL injection, and new access sources. For more information, see Security Audit (Old Version).

    • Traffic Playback and Stress Test: Helps you determine if your instance type requires an upgrade for peak business traffic. For more information, see Traffic Playback and Stress Test.

    • SQL Review: Provides global SQL workload analysis to help you quickly identify and analyze suspicious SQL in a database instance and get optimization suggestions. For more information, see SQL Review.

    • Transaction Analysis: View the transaction type, number of transactions, and transaction details of a specific thread within a specified time frame. This helps you understand, analyze, and optimize database performance at the transaction level. For more information, see Transaction Analysis.

    • Quick Transaction Analysis: Identify the start and end statements of the transaction that contains the target SQL. This allows you to determine the commit or rollback status of the transaction. For more information, see Quick Transaction Analysis.
