SHOW

Use SHOW commands to get information about databases, tables, and user sessions.

SHOW CREATE SERVER

Shows the CREATE SERVER statement that could have been used to create the server.

Syntax

SHOW CREATE SERVER <servername>

Example

SHOW CREATE SERVER default_local_delimited;
create_server_sql
CREATE SERVER default_local_delimited FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER DELIMITED_FILE
WITH (STORAGE_TYPE='LOCAL_FILE');

SHOW CREATE TABLE

Shows the CREATE TABLE statement that could have been used to create the table.

Syntax

SHOW CREATE TABLE <tablename>

Example

SHOW CREATE TABLE heavyai_states;
CREATE TABLE heavyai_states (
 id TEXT ENCODING DICT(32),
 abbr TEXT ENCODING DICT(32),
 name TEXT ENCODING DICT(32),
 omnisci_geo GEOMETRY(MULTIPOLYGON, 4326
) NOT NULL);

SHOW DATABASES

Retrieve the databases accessible for the current user, showing the database name and owner.

Example

SHOW DATABASES
Database         Owner
omnisci          admin
2004_zipcodes    admin
game_results     jane
signals          jason
...

SHOW FUNCTIONS

Show registered compile-time UDFs and extension functions in the system and their arguments.

Syntax

SHOW FUNCTIONS [DETAILS]

Example

SHOW FUNCTIONS
Scalar UDF
distance_point_line
ST_DWithin_Polygon_Polygon
ST_Distance_Point_ClosedLineString
Truncate
ct_device_selection_udf_any
area_triangle
_h3RotatePent60cw
ST_Intersects_Polygon_Point
ST_DWithin_LineString_Polygon
ST_Intersects_Point_Polygon
box_contains_box

SHOW POLICIES

Displays a list of all row-level security (RLS) policies that exist for a user or role; admin rights are required. If EFFECTIVE is used, the list also includes any policies that exist for all roles that apply to the requested user or role.

Syntax

SHOW [EFFECTIVE] POLICIES <name>;

SHOW QUERIES

Returns a list of queued queries in the system; information includes session ID, status, query string, account login name, client address, database name, and device type (CPU or GPU).

Example

show queries;
query_session_id|current_status|submitted          |query_str                                                   |login_name|client_address     |db_name   |exec_device_type
834-8VAA        |Pending       |2020-05-06 08:21:15|select d_date_sk, count(1) from date_dim group by d_date_sk;|admin     |tcp:localhost:48596|tpcds_sf10|CPU
826-CLKk        |Running       |2020-05-06 08:20:57|select count(1) from store_sales, store_returns;            |admin     |tcp:localhost:48592|tpcds_sf10|CPU
828-V6s7        |Pending       |2020-05-06 08:21:13|select count(1) from store_sales;                           |admin     |tcp:localhost:48594|tpcds_sf10|GPU

Admin users can see and interrupt all queries, and non-admin users can see and interrupt only their own queries

NOTE: SHOW QUERIES is only available if the runtime query interrupt parameter (enable-runtime-query-interrupt) is set.

To interrupt a query in the queue, see KILL QUERY.

SHOW ROLES

If included with a name, lists the role granted directly to a user or role. SHOW EFFECTIVE ROLES with a name lists the roles directly granted to a user or role, and also lists the roles indirectly inherited through the directly granted roles.

Syntax

SHOW [EFFECTIVE] ROLES <name>

If the user name or role name is omitted, then a regular user sees their own roles, and a superuser sees a list of all roles existing in the system.

SHOW RUNTIME FUNCTIONS

Show user-defined runtime functions and table functions.

Syntax

SHOW RUNTIME [TABLE] FUNCTIONS
SHOW RUNTIME [TABLE] FUNCTION DETAILS

SHOW SUPPORTED DATA SOURCES

Show data connectors.

Syntax

show supported data sources

SHOW TABLE DETAILS

Displays storage-related information for a table, such as the table ID/name, number of data/metadata files used by the table, total size of data/metadata files, and table epoch values.

You can see table details for all tables that you have access to in the current database, or for only those tables you specify.

Syntax

SHOW TABLE DETAILS [<table-name>, <table-name>, ...]

Examples

Show details for all tables you have access to:

SHOW [ALL] USER DETAILS lists name, ID, superuser status, default database, and login permission status for all users across the HeavyDB instance. This variant of the command is available only to superusers. Regular users who run the SHOW ALL USER DETAILS command receive an error message.

Superuser Output

heavysql> show all user details;
NAME|ID|IS_SUPER|DEFAULT_DB|CAN_LOGIN
admin|0|true|(-1)|true
ua|2|false|db1(2)|true
ub|3|false|db1(2)|true

ua|2|false|db1(2)|true
ud|5|false|db2(3)|true
ue|6|false|db2(3)|true
uf|7|false|db2(3)|false

If a specified user is not found, the superuser sees an error message:

heavysql> show user details ue, ud, uf, ua;
User "ua" not found. 

Show user details for specified users ue, ud, and uf:

heavysql> show user details ue, ud, uf;
NAME|ID|DEFAULT_DB|CAN_LOGIN
ud|5|db2(3)|true

Non-Superuser Output

Running SHOW ALL USER DETAILS results in an error message:

heavysql> \db
User ua is using database db1
heavysql> show all user details;
SHOW ALL USER DETAILS is only available to superusers. (Try SHOW USER DETAILS instead?)

Show user details for all users:

heavysql> show user details;
NAME|ID|DEFAULT_DB
ua|2|db1
ub|3|db1

If a specified user is not found, the user sees an error message:

heavysql> show user details ua, ub, uc;

KILL QUERY

Interrupt a queued query. Specify the query by using its session ID.

To see the queries in the queue, use the SHOW QUERIES command:

show queries;
query_session_id|current_status      |executor_id|submitted     |query_str       |login_name|client_address            |db_name|exec_device_type

To interrupt the last query in the list (ID 946-ooNP):

kill query '946-ooNP'

Showing the queries again indicates that 946-ooNP has been deleted:

show queries;

  • KILL QUERY is only available if the runtime query interrupt parameter (enable-runtime-query-interrupt) is set.

  • Interrupting a query in ‘PENDING_QUEUE’ status is supported in both distributed and single-server mode.

  • To enable query interrupt for tables imported from data files in local storage, set enable_non_kernel_time_query_interrupt to TRUE. (It is enabled by default.)
