// SSEK · idx_orders_cust_created

Secondary index seek on idx_orders_cust_created. Range seek on customer_id + created_at replaces a full CSCN2 scan of orders.

SELECT
  o.order_id, o.total_amt, o.status,
  c.email AS customer_email
FROM sales.orders o
JOIN sales.customers c ON c.customer_id = o.customer_id
WHERE o.created_at >= DATE '2026-06-01'
  AND o.status = 'PAID'
ORDER BY o.created_at DESC
LIMIT 20;

What Mongrel ships for Dameng.

Native DM8 SQL

Typed SQL over the native DM8 driver with schema-aware completion, bound parameters, and cancellable execution.

EXPLAIN & plan inspection

Run EXPLAIN and walk the real DM plan tree - NSET, SLCT, SSEK, CSCN, HASH JOIN - with cost and cardinality per node.

Schema & dependency inspection

Browse schemas, tables, views, and procedures. Trace object dependencies before you alter or drop anything.

Index advice

A conservative advisor reads the EXPLAIN plan and recommends a CREATE INDEX only where a full table scan appears. Review the DDL, then run it yourself.

Copy & sync

Copy tables between schemas on the same DM8 server, or preview and apply primary-key data sync. Import and export in CSV, JSON, JSON Lines, and SQL.

User & role administration

Browse users, roles, and grants. Privileged actions stay gated behind the connecting account's own rights.

Archive backup & restore

Encrypted archive backups of schemas and data, with dependency-ordered restore into the same or another DM8 instance.

Session & activity monitoring

Instance, tablespace, and active-session overviews, plus bounded top-SQL and session profiling samples - the V$ views you already know, in one panel.

AI explain & rewrite

Paste a query and its plan. The assistant rewrites it and proposes indexes - nothing executes without your review.
