DO_TM_TASK

Runs a Tuple Mover operation on the specified table or projection and commits current transactions.

Syntax

DO_TM_TASK('task'[, '[[database.]schema.]{ table | projection}]' )

Parameters

task

Specifies one of the following tuple mover operations:

  • mergeout: Consolidates ROS containers and purges deleted records. For details, see Mergeout.
  • analyze_row_count: Collects a minimal set of statistics and aggregate row counts for the specified projections, and saves it in the database catalog. Collects the number of rows in the specified projection. If you specify a table name, DO_TM_TASK returns the row counts for all projections of that table. For details, see Analyzing Row Counts.
  • update_storage_catalog (recommended only for Eon Mode): Updates the catalog with metadata on bundled table data. For details, see Writing Bundle Metadata to the Catalog.
[database.]schema

Specifies a schema, by default public. If schema is any schema other than public, you must supply the schema name. For example:

myschema.thisDbObject

If you specify a database, it must be the current database.
table | projection

Applies task to the specified table or projection. If you specify a projection and it is not found, DO_TM_TASK looks for a table with that name and, if found, applies the task to it and all projections associated with it.

If you specify no table or projection, the task is applied to all database tables and their projections.

Privileges

  • Schema: USAGE
  • Table: One of INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE

Examples

Perform mergeout on all projections of table t1:

=> SELECT DO_TM_TASK('mergeout', 't1');
