sys.pdw_nodes_column_store_segments (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

Contains a row for each column in a columnstore index.

Column name Data type Description
partition_id bigint Indicates the partition ID. Is unique within a database.
hobt_id bigint ID of the heap or B-tree index (hobt) for the table that has this columnstore index.
column_id int ID of the columnstore column.
segment_id int ID of the column segment. For backward compatibility, the column name continues to be called segment_id even though this is the rowgroup ID. You can uniquely identify a segment using <hobt_id, partition_id, column_id>, <segment_id>.
version int Version of the column segment format.
encoding_type int Type of encoding used for that segment:

1 = VALUE_BASED - non-string/binary with no dictionary (similar to 4 with some internal variations)

2 = VALUE_HASH_BASED - non-string/binary column with common values in dictionary

3 = STRING_HASH_BASED - string/binary column with common values in dictionary

4 = STORE_BY_VALUE_BASED - non-string/binary with no dictionary

5 = STRING_STORE_BY_VALUE_BASED - string/binary with no dictionary

All encodings take advantage of bit-packing and run-length encoding when possible.
row_count int Number of rows in the row group.
has_nulls int 1 if the column segment has null values.
base_id bigint Base value ID if encoding type 1 is being used. If encoding type 1 is not being used, base_id is set to 1.
magnitude float Magnitude if encoding type 1 is being used. If encoding type 1 is not being used, magnitude is set to 1.
primary__dictionary_id int ID of primary dictionary. A non-zero value points to the local dictionary for this column in the current segment (i.e. the rowgroup). A value of -1 indicates that there is no local dictionary for this segment.
secondary_dictionary_id int ID of secondary dictionary. A non-zero value points to the local dictionary for this column in the current segment (i.e. the rowgroup). A value of -1 indicates that there is no local dictionary for this segment.
min_data_id bigint Minimum data ID in the column segment.
max_data_id bigint Maximum data ID in the column segment.
null_value bigint Value used to represent nulls.
on_disk_size bigint Size of segment in bytes.
pdw_node_id int Unique identifier of a Azure Synapse Analytics node.
