SHOW STATS

Syntax

SHOW STATS FOR table_name;

SHOW STATS FOR (SELECT * FROM table [WHERE condition]);

Remarks

ANALYZE should be performed on the table before SHOW STATS. For details, see ANALYZE. If you run the show stats command on the target table before running ANALYZE, all values are null.

Example

SHOW STATS FOR orders;
SHOW STATS FOR (SELECT * FROM orders);
  • Before analyzing the nation table: 
    SHOW STATS FOR nation; 
column_name | data_size | distinct_values_count | nulls_fraction | row_count | low_value | high_value 
-------------|-----------|-----------------------|----------------|-----------|-----------|------------
 name        |      NULL |                  NULL |           NULL |      NULL | NULL      | NULL       
 regionkey   |      NULL |                  NULL |           NULL |      NULL | NULL      | NULL       
 NULL        |      NULL |                  NULL |           NULL |       6.0 | NULL      | NULL       
(3 rows)
  • After analyzing the nation table: 
    Analyze nation;
ANALYZE: 6 rows

-- Query the analysis result.
SHOW STATS FOR nation;
column_name | data_size | distinct_values_count | nulls_fraction | row_count | low_value | high_value 
-------------|-----------|-----------------------|----------------|-----------|-----------|------------
 name        |      45.0 |                   5.0 |            0.0 |      NULL | NULL      | NULL       
 regionkey   |      NULL |                   2.0 |            0.0 |      NULL | 0         | 2
