When you export Coverage profiler results to a database, AQTime creates a number of tables in it. The contents of most of these tables corresponds to the contents of AQTime panels in which the profiling results are displayed. This topic describes the structure of the database table that contains the exported Coverage profiler results.

The database includes the following tables:

COVERAGE_PROFILER_META_MODULES

COVERAGE_PROFILER_META_ROUTINES

COVERAGE_PROFILER_META_SOURCE_FILES

COVERAGE_PROFILER_MODULES

COVERAGE_PROFILER_ROUTINES

COVERAGE_PROFILER_SOURCE_FILES

COVERAGE_PROFILER_SOURCE_FILES_DATA

COVERAGE_PROFILER_THREADS

INSTANCES

RELATIONS

The relations of the above-mentioned tables are similar to the relations of data in AQTime’s panels holding the profiling results (the Explorer, Report and Details panels).

The INSTANCES table is the root table of the database. This table contains the exported result sets that are identified by the INST_ID value, which is unique within the table. All other database tables also have the INST_ID value that indicates to which result set a certain table item belongs.

The profiling results are stored in a number of tables depending on the category that is selected in the Explorer panel. The COVERAGE_PROFILER_ROUTINES table contains information on routines, COVERAGE_PROFILER_MODULES contains information on modules, COVERAGE_PROFILER_SOURCE_FILES and COVERAGE_PROFILER_SOURCE_FILES_DATA - on source files. These tables have the PARENT_ID field that indicates the thread where a specific routine was called. This field relates to the COVERAGE_PROFILER_THREADS table that holds a list of application threads traced by the Coverage profiler.

The COVERAGE_PROFILER_LINES table contains profiling information on the routine’s individual lines. This information corresponds to the information displayed in the Lines table of AQTime’s Details panel when the Report panel displays profiling information on routines. To indicate the routine to which a specific COVERAGE_PROFILER_LINES table item relates, the PARENT_ID field of this table stores the routine’s identifier.

The database tables that have the META suffix in their names contain meta information about the profiled elements. This data is retrieved from the application’s debug information and from the setup information of the AQTime project.

Note:

The ID and REC_ID columns of the COVERAGE_PROFILER_xxxx tables are not key columns. They may contain repetitive values. In queries you should use these values along with the INST_ID value (the result set identifier).

Below is detailed information about the tables.
