SHOW STATISTICS

On this page Carat arrow pointing down

The SHOW STATISTICS statement lists table statistics used by the cost-based optimizer.

Note:

By default, CockroachDB automatically generates statistics on all indexed columns, and up to 100 non-indexed columns.

CockroachDB also automatically collects multi-column statistics on the columns that prefix each index.

Synopsis

SHOW STATISTICS FOR TABLE table_name

Required Privileges

No privileges are required to list table statistics.

Parameters

Parameter Description
table_name The name of the table you want to view statistics for.

Examples

Setup

The following examples use MovR, a fictional vehicle-sharing application, to demonstrate CockroachDB SQL statements. For more information about the MovR example application and dataset, see MovR: A Global Vehicle-sharing App.

To follow along, run cockroach demo to start a temporary, in-memory cluster with the movr dataset preloaded:

icon/buttons/copy
$ cockroach demo

Delete statistics

To delete statistics for all tables in all databases:

icon/buttons/copy
DELETE FROM system.table_statistics WHERE true;

To delete a named set of statistics (e.g, one named "users_stats"), run a query like the following:

icon/buttons/copy
DELETE FROM system.table_statistics WHERE name = 'users_stats';

For more information about the DELETE statement, see DELETE.
