Procedure

RDB$PROFILER.FINISH_SESSION finishes the current profiler session (of the given ATTACHMENT_ID).

If FLUSH is TRUE, the snapshot tables are updated with data of the finished session (and old finished sessions not yet present in the snapshot), otherwise data remains only in memory for later update.

Calling RDB$PROFILER.FINISH_SESSION(TRUE) has the same semantics of calling RDB$PROFILER.FINISH_SESSION(FALSE) followed by RDB$PROFILER.FLUSH (using the same ATTACHMENT_ID).

RDB$PROFILER.FLUSH updates the snapshot tables with data from the profile sessions (of the given ATTACHMENT_ID) in memory.

After flushing, the data is stored in tables PLG$PROF_SESSIONS, PLG$PROF_STATEMENTS, PLG$PROF_RECORD_SOURCES, PLG$PROF_REQUESTS, PLG$PROF_PSQL_STATS and PLG$PROF_RECORD_SOURCE_STATS and may be read and analyzed by the user.

Data is updated using an autonomous transaction, so if the procedure is called in a snapshot transaction, data will not be directly readable in the same transaction.

Once flush happens, finished sessions are removed from memory.
