Some embodiments provide a method for analyzing database queries performed on a database. The method receives log data associated with queries that were performed on the database, wherein the log data includes multiple sub-tables that each include a set of data entries. Based on the log data, the method assembles a set of queries that were performed on the database, where different queries in the set are assembled by combining different subsets of data entries from the sub-tables. The method performs a query interpretation operation on each query to quantify the impact of performing the assembled set of queries on the database.
