The query is:
select distinct
temp_symbol.entityid,
temp_symbol.libname,
temp_symbol.objid,
temp_symbol.objname,
temp_symbol.fromsymid,
temp_symbol.fromsymtype,
temp_symbol.objinstance,
NULL,
temp_symbol.csid,
libinstance.entityid,
NULL,
libobject.objid,
NULL,
provide_symbol.symbolid,
provide_symbol.symboltype,
libobject.objinstance,
libobject.libinstanceid,
objectinstance.csid,
NULL,
provide_symbol.is_weak,
NULL,
provide_symbol.is_local,
NULL,
provide_symbol.is_template,
NULL,
provide_symbol.is_common
from libinstance,
library,
libobject,
provide_symbol,
temp_symbol,
objectinstance,
attributes
where libinstance.libdate <= 1238445044
and libinstance.enddate > 1238445044
and libinstance.libinstanceid = libobject.libinstanceid
and libinstance.architecture = ?
and attributes.entityid = libinstance.entityid
and attributes.branchid = libinstance.branchid
and attributes.architecture = libinstance.architecture
and library.libid = libinstance.libid
and not secondary
and attribute in ('notoffline', 'notoffline')
and (provide_symbol.symboltype = 'T')
and libobject.objinstance = provide_symbol.objinstance
and libinstance.branchid = ?
and provide_symbol.symbolid = temp_symbol.symbolid
and objectinstance.objinstance = libobject.objinstance
and libinstance.istemp = 0
The explain analyze for the query's attached in a (possibly hopeless)
attempt to keep it from being word-wrapped into unreadability.
