The TABLE_STATISTICS table

darnaut edited this page Feb 4, 2013 · 2 revisions

The TABLE_STATISTICS table holds accrued counters of handler operations for each table in the table definition cache. The counters are incremented for each specific operation on a handler instance and once the handler instance is closed, the counters are accrued in the table definition stored in the definition cache. If the table definition is altered or flushed, the counters are lost.
