I don't think it will work in database query browser but you just have to add `EXPLAIN` in front of your statement ie `EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE someWhereClause='something'"`. If Databse Query Browswer doesn't do I think you should be able to do it with a `system.db.runQuery("EXPLAIN SELECT ....")` and then I would recommend printing the dataset nicely to see what it says.
