DROP_EXTERNAL_ROW_COUNT

Removes external table row count statistics compiled by ANALYZE_EXTERNAL_ROW_COUNT. DROP_EXTERNAL_ROW_COUNT runs in the background.

Statistics can be time consuming to regenerate.

Syntax

DROP_EXTERNAL_ROW_COUNT ('[[[database.]schema.]table‑name ]');

Parameters

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‑name The external table for which to remove the exact row count. If you specify an empty string, Vertica drops the exact row count statistic for all external tables.

Privileges

  • INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE privilege on table
  • USAGE privilege on schema that contains the table

Examples

Drop row count statistics for external table loader_rejects:

=> SELECT DROP_EXTERNAL_ROW_COUNT('loader_rejects');
