SHOW STABLES

SHOW [db_name.]STABLES [LIKE 'pattern'];

Displays all subscription relationships in the current system.

SHOW TABLES

SHOW [NORMAL | CHILD] [db_name.]TABLES [LIKE 'pattern'];

SHOW TABLE DISTRIBUTED

SHOW TABLE DISTRIBUTED table_name;

Displays data distribution information for the table.

Example explanation:

Statement: show table distributed d0\G; Displays the block distribution of table d0 in a vertical format.

Display Example
*************************** 1.row ***************************

_block_dist: Total_Blocks=[5] Total_Size=[93.65 KB] Average_size=[18.73 KB] Compression_Ratio=[23.98 %]

Total_Blocks: The number of blocks occupied by table d0 is 5.

Total_Size: The size of all blocks occupied by table d0 in files is 93.65 KB.

Average_size: The average space occupied by each block in files is 18.73 KB.

Compression_Ratio: Data compression ratio 23.98%.


*************************** 2.row ***************************

_block_dist: Total_Rows=[20000] Inmem_Rows=[0] MinRows=[3616] MaxRows=[4096] Average_Rows=[4000]

Total_Rows: The number of rows stored on disk for table d0 is 20000 (this value is for reference only and is not an accurate count. To get an accurate count, the count function should be used).

Inmem_Rows: The number of data rows stored in write cache (not yet on disk), 0 rows indicates that there is no data in the memory cache.

MinRows: The minimum number of rows in a BLOCK is 3616.

MaxRows: The maximum number of rows in a BLOCK is 4096.

Average_Rows: The average number of rows in each BLOCK at this time is 4000.


*************************** 3.row ***************************

_block_dist: Total_Tables=[1] Total_Files=[2] Total_Vgroups=[1]

Total_Tables: The number of sub-tables, which is 1 here.

Total_Files: The number of data files where the table's data is stored separately, here it is 2 files.

Total_Vgroups: The number of virtual nodes (vnodes) that distribute the table's data.


*************************** 5.row ***************************

_block_dist: 0100 |

*************************** 6.row ***************************

_block_dist: 0299 |

......

*************************** 22.row ***************************

_block_dist: 3483 ||||||||||||||||| 1 (20.00%)

*************************** 23.row ***************************

_block_dist: 3682 |

*************************** 24.row ***************************

_block_dist: 3881 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 4 (80.00%)

Query OK, 24 row(s) in set (0.002444s)

The above shows the distribution of blocks containing the number of data rows. Here, 0100 0299 0498 … indicates the number of data rows in each block. The meaning above is that among the 5 blocks of this table, the block that distributes between 3483 and 3681 has 1 block, occupying 20% of the total blocks, and the blocks that distribute between 3881 and 4096 (the maximum number of rows) is 4 blocks, occupying 80% of the total blocks, while the number of blocks distributed in other areas is 0.

It is important to note that only the data block information in the data files will be displayed here; information in the stt files will not be displayed.

SHOW TAGS

SHOW TAGS FROM child_table_name [FROM db_name];
SHOW TAGS FROM [db_name.]child_table_name;

Displays tag information of the subtable.

SHOW TOPICS

SHOW TOPICS;

SHOW TRANSACTIONS;

Displays information about the transactions currently being executed in the system (this transaction only pertains to metadata level, not basic tables).

SHOW USERS

Displays information about all users in the current system, including user-defined users and system default users.

SHOW CLUSTER VARIABLES (before version 3.0.1.6 it was SHOW VARIABLES)

SHOW CLUSTER VARIABLES;
SHOW DNODE dnode_id VARIABLES;

SHOW VNODES

SHOW VNODES [ON DNODE dnode_id];
