Examples
Example 1
The following example shows the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE for a rowstore table with sparse compression.
Create the table:
CREATE ROWSTORE TABLE table_1(a INT, b DECIMAL) COMPRESSION = SPARSE;
Show the table:
SHOW CREATE TABLE table_1;
Output of the “Create Table” column for the table_1 row:
CREATE ROWSTORE TABLE `table_1` ( `a` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `b` decimal(10,0) DEFAULT NULL , SHARD KEY () ) AUTOSTATS_CARDINALITY_MODE=PERIODIC AUTOSTATS_HISTOGRAM_MODE=CREATE SQL_MODE='STRICT_ALL_TABLES' COMPRESSION=SPARSE
Example 2
The following example shows the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE for a columnstore table.
Create the table:
CREATE TABLE table_2(a INT, b VARCHAR(50), SORT KEY(b));
Show the table:
SHOW CREATE TABLE table_2;
Output of the “Create Table” column for the table_2 row:
CREATE TABLE `table_2` ( `a` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `b` varbinary(50) DEFAULT NULL, KEY `b` (`b`) USING CLUSTERED COLUMNSTORE , SHARD KEY () ) AUTOSTATS_CARDINALITY_MODE=INCREMENTAL AUTOSTATS_HISTOGRAM_MODE=CREATE AUTOSTATS_SAMPLING=ON SQL_MODE='STRICT_ALL_TABLES'
