Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting Patch 198. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function until June 30, 2026. For more information, see the [ blog post ](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/amazon-redshift-python-user-defined-functions-will-reach-end-of-support-after-june-30-2026/). 

# Reviewing queue wait times for queries
<a name="review-queue-wait-times-for-queries"></a>

The following query shows how long recent queries waited for an open slot in a query queue before running. If you see a trend of high wait times, you might want to modify your query queue configuration for better throughput. For more information, see [Implementing manual WLM](cm-c-defining-query-queues.md).

```
select trim(database) as DB , w.query, 
substring(q.querytxt, 1, 100) as querytxt,  w.queue_start_time, 
w.service_class as class, w.slot_count as slots, 
w.total_queue_time/1000000 as queue_seconds, 
w.total_exec_time/1000000 exec_seconds, (w.total_queue_time+w.total_Exec_time)/1000000 as total_seconds 
from stl_wlm_query w 
left join stl_query q on q.query = w.query and q.userid = w.userid 
where w.queue_start_Time >= dateadd(day, -7, current_Date) 
and w.total_queue_Time > 0  and w.userid >1   
and q.starttime >= dateadd(day, -7, current_Date) 
order by w.total_queue_time desc, w.queue_start_time desc limit 35;
