 #
 # An example of using the database is provided by the script
 # call-graph-from-postgresql.py.  Refer to that script for details.
+#
+# Tables:
+#
+#       The tables largely correspond to perf tools' data structures.  They are largely self-explanatory.
+#
+#       samples
+#
+#               'samples' is the main table. It represents what instruction was executing at a point in time
+#               when something (a selected event) happened.  The memory address is the instruction pointer or 'ip'.
+#
+#       calls
+#
+#               'calls' represents function calls and is related to 'samples' by 'call_id' and 'return_id'.
+#               'calls' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
+#
+#       call_paths
+#
+#               'call_paths' represents all the call stacks.  Each 'call' has an associated record in 'call_paths'.
+#               'calls_paths' is only created when the 'calls' option to this script is specified.
+#
+#       branch_types
+#
+#               'branch_types' provides descriptions for each type of branch.
+#
+#       comm_threads
+#
+#               'comm_threads' shows how 'comms' relates to 'threads'.
+#
+#       comms
+#
+#               'comms' contains a record for each 'comm' - the name given to the executable that is running.
+#
+#       dsos
+#
+#               'dsos' contains a record for each executable file or library.
+#
+#       machines
+#
+#               'machines' can be used to distinguish virtual machines if virtualization is supported.
+#
+#       selected_events
+#
+#               'selected_events' contains a record for each kind of event that has been sampled.
+#
+#       symbols
+#
+#               'symbols' contains a record for each symbol.  Only symbols that have samples are present.
+#
+#       threads
+#
+#               'threads' contains a record for each thread.
+#
+# Views:
+#
+#       Most of the tables have views for more friendly display.  The views are:
+#
+#               calls_view
+#               call_paths_view
+#               comm_threads_view
+#               dsos_view
+#               machines_view
+#               samples_view
+#               symbols_view
+#               threads_view
+#
+# More examples of browsing the database with psql:
+#   Note that some of the examples are not the most optimal SQL query.
+#   Note that call information is only available if the script's 'calls' option has been used.
+#
+#       Top 10 function calls (not aggregated by symbol):
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM calls_view ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
+#
+#       Top 10 function calls (aggregated by symbol):
+#
+#               SELECT symbol_id,(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = symbol_id) AS symbol,
+#                       SUM(elapsed_time) AS tot_elapsed_time,SUM(branch_count) AS tot_branch_count
+#                       FROM calls_view GROUP BY symbol_id ORDER BY tot_elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
+#
+#               Note that the branch count gives a rough estimation of cpu usage, so functions
+#               that took a long time but have a relatively low branch count must have spent time
+#               waiting.
+#
+#       Find symbols by pattern matching on part of the name (e.g. names containing 'alloc'):
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM symbols_view WHERE name LIKE '%alloc%';
+#
+#       Top 10 function calls for a specific symbol (e.g. whose symbol_id is 187):
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE symbol_id = 187 ORDER BY elapsed_time DESC LIMIT 10;
+#
+#       Show function calls made by function in the same context (i.e. same call path) (e.g. one with call_path_id 254):
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM calls_view WHERE parent_call_path_id = 254;
+#
+#       Show branches made during a function call (e.g. where call_id is 29357 and return_id is 29370 and tid is 29670)
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE id >= 29357 AND id <= 29370 AND tid = 29670 AND event LIKE 'branches%';
+#
+#       Show transactions:
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions';
+#
+#               Note transaction start has 'in_tx' true whereas, transaction end has 'in_tx' false.
+#               Transaction aborts have branch_type_name 'transaction abort'
+#
+#       Show transaction aborts:
+#
+#               SELECT * FROM samples_view WHERE event = 'transactions' AND branch_type_name = 'transaction abort';
+#
+# To print a call stack requires walking the call_paths table.  For example this python script:
+#   #!/usr/bin/python2
+#
+#   import sys
+#   from PySide.QtSql import *
