Parameters

table_mode_value

• NORMAL: In this mode, the probability of triggering a major compaction after a minor compaction is extremely low. This is the default value.
• QUEUING: In this mode, the probability of triggering a major compaction after a minor compaction is low.
• MODERATE: In this mode, the probability of triggering a major compaction after a minor compaction is moderate.
• SUPER: In this mode, the probability of triggering a major compaction after a minor compaction is high.
• EXTREME: In this mode, the probability of triggering a major compaction after a minor compaction is very high.

For more information about major compactions, see Adaptive major compactions.

tokenizer_option

• SPACE: the default value. Specifies to tokenize the text by space. The following attributes can be specified:

  Attribute	Value range
  min_token_size	[1, 16]
  max_token_size	[10, 84]

• NGRAM: specifies to tokenize the text based on N-Gram (Chinese). The following attribute can be specified:

  Attribute	Value range
  ngram_token_size	[1, 10]

• NGRAM2: specifies to split text into continuous characters within the range of min_ngram_size to max_ngram_size. The following attributes can be specified:

  Attribute	Value Range
  min_ngram_size	[1, 16]
  max_ngram_size	[1, 16]

  Note

  For OceanBase Database V4.3.5, the NGRAM2 tokenizer is supported starting from V4.3.5 BP2.

• BENG: specifies to tokenize the text based on Beng (basic English). The following attributes can be specified:

  Attribute	Value range
  min_token_size	[1, 16]
  max_token_size	[10, 84]

• IK: specifies to tokenize the text based on IK (Chinese). Currently, only the utf-8 character set is supported. The following attribute can be specified:

  Attribute	Value range
  ik_mode	smart max_word

  Note

  For OceanBase Database V4.3.5, the IK tokenizer is supported starting from V4.3.5 BP1.

parser_properties

• min_token_size: the minimum token size. The default value is 3. The value range is 1 to 16.

• max_token_size: the maximum token size. The default value is 84. The value range is 10 to 84.

• ngram_token_size: the token size for the NGRAM tokenizer. The value range is 1 to 10. This attribute only applies to the NGRAM tokenizer.

• ik_mode: the parsing mode for the IK tokenizer. Valid values include:

  • smart: the default value. Dictionary-based parsing is performed to improve the accuracy of parsing, with priority given to dictionary-based token boundaries. This may help reduce unnecessary expansion.
  • max_word: the dictionary-based parsing is performed to identify the words defined in the dictionary. However, maximized expansion is not affected. The text will be split into more words in accordance with the max_word mode even if they are defined in the dictionary.
  • min_ngram_size: specifies the minimum token length. The value range is [1, 16].
  • max_ngram_size: specifies the maximum token length. The value range is [1, 16]. Here is an example:

CREATE TABLE tbl1 (col1 VARCHAR(200), col2 TEXT,
    FULLTEXT INDEX fidx(col2) WITH PARSER ik PARSER_PROPERTIES=(ik_mode='max_word'));

dynamic_partition_policy_option

• ENABLE = {true | false}: Optional. Indicates whether to enable dynamic partition management. This option can be modified. The values are as follows:

  • true: Default value. Enables dynamic partition management.
  • false: Disables dynamic partition management.

• TIME_UNIT = {'hour' | 'day' | 'week' | 'month' | 'year'}: Required. Specifies the time unit for partitions, that is, the interval for automatically creating partition boundaries. This option cannot be modified. The values are as follows:

  • hour: Partitioned by hour
  • day: Partitioned by day
  • week: Partitioned by week
  • month: Partitioned by month
  • year: Partitioned by year

• PRECREATE_TIME = {'-1' | '0' | 'n {hour | day | week | month | year}'}: Optional. Specifies the pre-creation time. Each time dynamic partition management is scheduled, partitions will be pre-created so that the maximum partition upper bound > now() + precreate_time. This option can be modified. The values are as follows:

  • -1: Default value. No partitions are pre-created.
  • 0: Only the current partition is pre-created.
  • n {hour | day | week | month | year}: Pre-create partitions for the specified time span. For example, 3 hour means pre-create partitions for the next 3 hours.

  Note

  • When multiple partitions need to be pre-created, the interval between partition boundaries is determined by TIME_UNIT.
  • The first pre-created partition boundary is the current maximum partition boundary rounded up to the next TIME_UNIT.

• EXPIRE_TIME = {'-1' | '0' | 'n {hour | day | week | month | year}'}: Optional. Specifies the partition expiration time. Each time dynamic partition management is scheduled, all expired partitions with partition upper bound < now() - expire_time will be deleted. This option can be modified. The values are as follows:

  • -1: Default value. Partitions never expire.
  • 0: All partitions before the current partition expire.
  • n {hour | day | week | month | year}: Partition expiration time. For example, 1 day means partitions expire after 1 day.

• TIME_ZONE = {'default' | 'time_zone'}: Optional. Specifies the time zone used when comparing the current time and the partition key of time types (date, datetime, year). This option cannot be modified. The values are as follows:

  • default: Default value. No additional time zone is set, and the tenant time zone is used. For types other than those listed above, the time_zone field must be set to default.
  • time_zone: Custom time zone offset. For example, +8:00 and other time zone offsets.

• BIGINT_PRECISION = {'none' | 'us' | 'ms' | 's'}: Optional. Specifies the timestamp precision of a bigint type partition key. This option cannot be modified. The values are as follows:

  • none: Default value. No precision (partition key is not of type bigint)
  • us: Microsecond precision
  • ms: Millisecond precision
  • s: Second precision

Here is an example:

CREATE TABLE tbl2 (col1 INT, col2 DATETIME)
    DYNAMIC_PARTITION_POLICY(
        ENABLE = true,
        TIME_UNIT = 'hour',
        PRECREATE_TIME = '3 hour',
        EXPIRE_TIME = '1 day',
        TIME_ZONE = '+8:00',
        BIGINT_PRECISION = 'none')
    PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS (col2)(
        PARTITION P0 VALUES LESS THAN ('2024-11-11 13:30:00')
        )

  7. Insert data into, read data from, and write data to the replicated table. If you connect to the database by using an OceanBase Database Proxy (ODP), the read request may be routed to any OBServer node. If you directly connect to an OBServer node, the read request is executed on the connected OBServer node as long as the local replica is readable.

• Create a columnstore table named tbl1_cg.

  CREATE TABLE tbl1_cg (col1 INT PRIMARY KEY, col2 VARCHAR(50)) WITH COLUMN GROUP(each column);
  

• Create a table with a columnstore index.

  CREATE TABLE tbl2_cg (col1 INT PRIMARY KEY, col2 INT, col3 INT, INDEX i1 (col2) WITH COLUMN GROUP(each column));
  

• Create a columnstore table with a columnstore index.

  CREATE TABLE tbl3_cg (col1 INT PRIMARY KEY, col2 INT, col3 INT, INDEX i1 (col2) WITH COLUMN GROUP(each column)) WITH COLUMN GROUP(each column);
  

• Create a table and specify the skip index attribute for a column.

  CREATE TABLE test_skidx(
    col1 INT SKIP_INDEX(MIN_MAX, SUM),
    col2 FLOAT SKIP_INDEX(MIN_MAX),
    col3 VARCHAR(1024) SKIP_INDEX(MIN_MAX),
    col4 CHAR(10)
  );
  

• Create a table named tbl1 with a col1 column of the integer type, and set the DOP to 5. Specify that the data of the tbl1 table is sourced from the results of querying the tbl2 table.

  CREATE /*+ parallel(5) */ TABLE tbl1 (col1 INT) AS SELECT col1 FROM tbl2;
  

  • Create a table tb with the persistent macro block-level bloom filter enabled.

  CREATE TABLE tb(c1 INT PRIMARY KEY, c2 INT) enable_macro_block_bloom_filter = True;
