# ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON Examples

## Example #1

Customers who have ordered more than 1M goods.

```sql
ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM customer
WHERE
  (SELECT SUM(o_totalprice) FROM orders WHERE o_custkey=c_custkey) > 1000*1000;
```

The query takes 40 seconds over cold cache.

```json

            "key": "i_o_custkey",

            "used_key_parts": ["o_custkey"],

            "r_filtered": 100
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

`ANALYZE` shows that 39.208 seconds were spent in the subquery, which was executed 150K times (for every row of outer table).
