derived_stat

Returns derived statistics for the specified object and index.

Syntax

derived_stat("object_name" | object_id,
	index_name | index_id,
	["partition_name" | partition_id,]
	“statistic”)

Parameters

object_name – is the name of the object you are interested in. If you do not specify a fully qualified object name, derived_stat searches the current database.
object_id – is an alternative to object_name, and is the object ID of the object you are interested in. object_id must be in the current database
index_name – is the name of the index, belonging to the specified object that you are interested in.
index_id – is an alternative to index_name, and is the index ID of the specified object that you are interested in.
partition_name – is the name of the partition, belonging to the specific partition that you are interested in. partition_name is optional. When you use partition_name or partition_id, the SAP ASE server returns statistics for the target partition, instead of for the entire object.
partition_id – is an alternative to partition_name, and is the partition ID of the specified object that you are interested in. partition_id is optional.
“statistic” – the derived statistic to be returned. Available statistics are:
- data page cluster ratio or dpcr – the data page cluster ratio for the object/index pair
- index page cluster ratio or ipcr – the index page cluster ratio for the object/index pair
- data row cluster ratio or drcr – the data row cluster ratio for the object/index pair
- large io efficiency or lgio – the large I/O efficiency for the object/index pair
- space utilization or sput – the space utilization for the object/index pair

Examples

Example 1 – Selects the space utilization for the titleidind index of the titles table:
```
select derived_stat("titles", "titleidind", "space utilization")
```
Example 2 – Selects the data page cluster ratio for index ID 2 of the titles table. Note that you can use either "dpcr" or "data page cluster ratio":
```
select derived_stat("titles", 2, "dpcr")
```

Example 3 – Statistics are reported for the entire object, as neither the partition ID nor name is not specified:

1> select derived_stat(object_id("t1"), 2, "drcr")
2> go

--------------------------- 
                   0.576923

Example 4 – Reports the statistic for the partition tl_928003396:

1> select derived_stat(object_id("t1"), 0, "t1_928003306", "drcr")
2> go

 --------------------------- 
                    1.000000

Example 5 – Selects derived statistics for all indexes of a given table, using data from syspartitions:

select convert(varchar(30), name) as name, indid,
    convert(decimal(5, 3), derived_stat(id, indid, 'sput')) as 'sput',
    convert(decimal(5, 3), derived_stat(id, indid, 'dpcr')) as 'dpcr',
    convert(decimal(5, 3), derived_stat(id, indid, 'drcr')) as 'drcr',
    convert(decimal(5, 3), derived_stat(id, indid, 'lgio')) as 'lgio'
from syspartitions where id = object_id('titles')
go

 name                          indid   sput     dpcr     drcr     lgio

Usage

derived_stat returns a double precision value.
The values returned by derived_stat match the values presented by the optdiag utility.
If the specified object or index does not exist, derived_stat returns NULL.
Specifying an invalid statistic type results in an error message.
Using the optional partition_name or partition_id reports the requested statistic for the target partition; otherwise, derived_stat reports the statistic for the entire object.
Instead of consuming resources, derived_stat discards the descriptor for an object that is not already in the cache.
If you provide:
- Four arguments – derived_stat uses the third argument as the partition, and returns derived statistics on the fourth argument.
- Three arguments – derived_stat assumes you did not specifiy a partition, and returns derived statistic specified by the third argument.

Standards

ANSI SQL – Compliance level: Transact-SQL extension.

Permissions

The permission checks for derived_stat differ based on your granular permissions settings.

Granular Permissions	Description
Enabled	With granular permissions enabled, you must be the table owner or have `manage database` permission to execute derived_stat
Disabled	With granular permissions disabled, you must be the table owner or be a user with sa_role to execute derived_stat.
