Usage
  • Details – SAP Control Center displays a graph of the space used by the tables and indexes of your database. Use these values to determine if you have enough unreserved space to accommodate new database objects.

    In SAP ASE version 15.7 ESD #3, "Other" displays the space usage for the object allocation map (OAM). For more information about OAM, see the System Administration Guide: Volume 2.

  • Largest user tables – shows the largest user tables based on space reserved, used space, and row count.
