User-defined extensions provide skilled SQL users the ability to customize certain tasks that may be unique to their organization and further improve the performance, ease of use, and reliability of their analytics. Workload Analyzer* The Workload Analyzer intelligently monitors the performance of SQL queries, workload history, resources, and configuration to accurately identify poor query performance and then provide recommendations to speed up the laggards.
