The best way is to use Ops Navigator to run Visual Explain on the SQL

might also check the Index Adviser in Ops Nav to see if it is building any
indexes when you run the SQL statement.

I remember that, from the database optimization class I took at IBM Rochester, some years ago. Although, dusting off the workbook from that class, I can't even remember how to get to Visual Explain, assuming I even *can* get to it on *our* box. (And the actual situation is on a customer box, for which we only have TN5250 access.)

I was able to open something called "System i Navigator" on our box (and could probably model the situation there), but is that even the same thing? I don't see anything that looks like a path to Visual Explain.
