schema

schema(table|dbHandle)

table | dbHandle can be a table object or a database handle.

Display information about the schema of a table or a database. The function returns an unordered dictionary containing the following information (in alphabetical order):

• atomic: the level at which the atomicity is guaranteed for a write transaction. It can be TRANS or CHUNK.
• chunkGranularity: the chunk granularity which determines whether to allow concurrent writes to different tables in the same chunk. It can be TABLE or DATABASE.
• clusterReplicationEnabled: whether asynchronous replication has been enabled.
• colDefs: information about each column in the table:
  • name: column name
  • typeString: column type
  • typeInt: the type ID
  • extra: the scale of a DECIMAL value
  • comment: comment on the column
• compressMethods: the compression methods used for specified columns of a DFS table.
  • name: Column names
  • compressMethods: Compression algorithm applied, including "lz4", "delta", or "zstd".
• databaseDir: the directory where the database is stored.
• databaseOwner: the database creator.
• engineType: the storage engine type. It can be OLAP or TSDB.
• keepDuplicates: how to deal with records with duplicate sort key values.
• partitionColumnIndex: the index that indicates the positions of partitioning columns. It returns -1 for a dimension table.
• partitionColumnName: the partitioning column names.
• partitionColumnType: the data type ID (which can be checked at Data Types and Data Forms) of the partitioning column.
• partitionSchema: how the partitions are organized
• partitionSites (optional): If the parameter locations is specified for function database, it displays the ip:port information of the specified node.
• partitionTypeName / partitionType: the partitioning scheme and the corresponding ID, including VALUE(1), RANGE(2), LIST(3), COMPO(4), HASH(5).
• sortColumns: the sort columns for a table.
• softDelete: whether soft deletion of the table has been enabled. This field will only be returned for tables in TSDB databases. Return true if soft deletion has been enabled, false otherwise.
• sortKeyMappingFunction: the mapping functions applied to sort keys.
• tableComment: the comment for DFS tables.
• tableOwner: the table creator.
• partitionFunction: the function applied to a column for data partitioning. It is a STRING vector with each element as a function signature. If an element is "asis", meaning no function is applied to that column. For example, partitionFunction->["myPartitionFunc{, 6, 8}","asis"].
