DBCC PDW_SHOWMATERIALIZEDVIEWOVERHEAD (Transact-SQL) (preview)

[!INCLUDEtsql-appliesto-xxxxxx-xxxx-asdw-xxx-md]

Displays the number of incremental changes in the base tables that are held for materialized views in [!INCLUDEssSDW]. The overhead ratio is calculated as TOTAL_ROWS / MAX (1, BASE_VIEW_ROWS).

Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions (Transact-SQL)

Syntax

DBCC PDW_SHOWMATERIALIZEDVIEWOVERHEAD ( " [ schema_name .] materialized_view_name  " )
[;]

Arguments

schema_name
Is the name of the schema to which the view belongs.

materialized_view_name
Is the name of the materialized view.

Remarks

As the underlying tables in the definition of a materialized view are modified, all incremental changes in the base tables are maintained for the materialized view.  Selecting from a materialized view includes scanning the clustered columnstore structure for the materialized view and applying these incremental changes.   If the number of maintained incremental changes is high, select performance will degrade.  Users can rebuild the materialized view to recreate the clustered columnstore structure and consolidate all the incremental changes in the base tables.

Permissions

Requires VIEW DATABASE STATE permission.

Example

This example returns the delta space used for a materialized view.

DBCC PDW_SHOWMATERIALIZEDVIEWOVERHEAD ( "dbo.MyIndexedView" )

Output:

OBJECT_ID	BASE_VIEW_ROWS	TOTAL_ROWS	OVERHEAD_RATIO
1234	1	3	3.0

OBJECT_ID	BASE_VIEW_ROWS	TOTAL_ROWS	OVERHEAD_RATIO
4567	0	0	0.0

OBJECT_ID	BASE_VIEW_ROWS	TOTAL_ROWS	OVERHEAD_RATIO
789	0	2	2.0
