1.2 Using System Tables in the Cluster Edition

There are some differences in system tables if you are using a Cluster Edition of SAP ASE.

1.2.1 timestamp Columns

In the SAP ASE server, if a table includes a timestamp column, its value is updated when a row is changed.
Client applications can use this functionality to detect changes to rows using an access method called
“optimistic locking.”

The values in the timestamp column are unique in a database. However, in the Cluster Edition, timestamp
column values are not guaranteed to be in increasing order in a database across tables, but they are
guaranteed to be in increasing order for a particular table.

1.2.2 Changed Identity Values

Identity columns in the Cluster Edition behave differently from those in non-clustered editions of SAP ASE.
Although the Cluster Edition guarantees that identity values are unique, for performance reasons the values
may not monotonically increase.

In a non-clustered SAP ASE server, a set of identity values are burned into memory to reduce disk I/Os as
inserts access the next value from memory. In the Cluster Edition, the same size set is burned into memory,
but the set is split among the cluster instances. In a two-instance cluster with an identity set size of 250000,
the first instance inserts values {1,2,3, and so on}, and the second instance inserts values
{125000,125001,125002, and so on}.

When you restart an instance after a shutdown or a crash, a new block of identity values may be allocated for
that instance when it rejoins the cluster. As a result, you may see a jump in the identity value for the instance.

The next-identity function reports the next identity value for a table from the instance in which next-
identity is executed. For example, next-identity returns 4 for instance 1 and 125003 for instance 2.

The behavior of the identity-burn-max remains the same as for a non-clustered SAP ASE server because
the burn size and burn behavior is unchanged in the Cluster Edition.

1.2.3 Controlling Fake-Table Materialization

Certain stored procedures, such as sp_who and sp_lock, read from fake tables such as sysprocesses and
syslocks. Because their rows are not stored on disk, fake tables present an exception to the shared-data
nature of a shared-disk cluster, and special features apply.

You can control whether a fake-table query returns rows from the local instance or all instances in the cluster
by using the set system_view command. set system_view is a session-level command. In addition, set
system_view also controls monitoring table materialization.

Reference Manual: Tables

System Tables PUBLIC 11
By default, the SAP ASE server retrieves rows only from the local instance.

● To specify that fake-table queries materialize rows for all instances, use the cluster option. For example:

set system_view cluster

● To specify that fake-table queries materialize rows for the local instance, use the instance option. For
example:

set system_view instance

To retrieve the current system_view setting, select the <@@system_view> global variable.

The SAP ASE server supports cluster-wide materialization for these fake tables:

● sysprocesses
● syslocks
● sysengines
● syslisteners
● sysmonitors
● syssecmechs
● syscurconfigs

 Note

sysinstances is always set for cluster-wide materialization, regardless of the system_view setting.

1.3 Rules for Using System Tables

This section describes rules, restrictions, and usage information for system tables.

 Note

By default, a column is defined as NOT NULL. Nullable columns are described using the “null” keyword, and
are listed in the column descriptions for the tables in this book.

1.3.1 Permissions on System Tables

Permissions for use of the system tables can be controlled by the Database Owner, just like permissions on any
other tables.

By default, when SAP ASE is installed, the installmodel script grants select access to “public” (all users)
for most system tables and for most fields in the tables. Instead, the default permissions on the system tables
are assigned when the SAP ASE server builds a new database. However, no access is granted to some system
tables, such as syssrvroles, and no access is granted to certain fields in other system tables. For example, all
users, by default, can select all columns of sysobjects except audflags.

Reference Manual: Tables

12 PUBLIC System Tables
See the Security Administration Guide for more information.

sp_helprotect <system_table_name>

For example, to check the permissions of syssrvroles in master, execute:

use master
go
sp_helprotect syssrvroles
go

1.3.2 Locking Schemes Used for System Tables

In the allpages locking scheme in SAP ASE, locks are acquired on data and index pages.

See the Performance and Tuning Guide: Locking for more information on locking schemes.

All system tables use datarow locking except for the following, which use allpages locking:

● sysusermessages
● sysslices
● sysmessages

In addition, the following system tables are “fake”—or non-row-oriented—catalogs that give the appearance of
using allpages locking:

● syslogs
● sysgams
● sysprocesses
● syslocks
● syscurconfigs
● syssecmechs
● sysmonitors
● sysengines
● systestlog
● syslisteners
● syslogshold

Reference Manual: Tables

System Tables PUBLIC 13
1.3.3 Reserved Columns

The word “reserved” in the column description means that the column is not currently used by the SAP ASE
server.

1.3.4 Updating System Tables

Direct updates on system tables are not allowed – even for the Database Owner. Instead, SAP ASE includes
system procedures that you should use to make any normally needed updates and additions to system tables.

You can allow direct updates to the system tables if it you must modify them in a way that cannot be
accomplished with a system procedure. To allow direct updates, a system security officer must use
sp_configure to reset the configuration parameter called allow updates to system tables. For more
information, see the Security Administration Guide.

1.3.5 Triggers on System Tables

You cannot create triggers on system tables. If you try to create a trigger on a system table, the SAP ASE server
returns an error message and cancels the trigger.

1.4 ch_events

Contains one row for each configuration change event. ch_events is located in the sybmgmtdb database.
ch_events is a view based on the extrainfo columns. You must have the mon_role to view ch_events.

Columns

The columns for ch_events are:

Name Datatype Description

area varchar(10)not Area in which the event occurs. One of:

null ● server – server-level events.
● database – database-level events.
● cache – cache-level events.
● traceflag – dbcc traceflag and set switch events.
● SUSD – for startup/shutdown.
● audit – auditing state changes.

Reference Manual: Tables

14 PUBLIC System Tables
 Name Datatype Description

type varchar(30)not Type of auditable event. One of:

null ● sp_configure
● sp_serveroption
● sp_dboption
● sp_cacheconfig
● sp_poolconfig
● create thread pool

● shutdown
● shutdown with wait
● shutdown with nowait
● abrupt shutdown
● global auditing
● config history auditing
.

target varchar(30) null Name of the objects to which the change applies.

element varchar(255) null Configuration parameter or other option name.

oldvalue varchar(255) null Value of event prior to change.

newvalue varchar(255) null Value of event after change.

mode varchar(10) null Status for configuration parameters: static or dynamic.

timestamp datetime not null Date and time the event takes place. For changes to the configuration file
and abrupt shutdowns, timestamp indicates the time the event was de­
tected, not when the event took place.

username varchar(30) null Name of the user who made the change. Set to null for:

● Startup
● Configuration file change
● Abrupt shutdown

instanceid tinyint null (Cluster Edition only) ID of the instance.

1.5 sysdams

sysdams stores the dump allocation map (DAM) for the database. The DAM stores the list of allocation units
that have been modified since the last full database dump. It is a bitmap with one bit per allocation unit in the
database.

A value of:

● 0 – indicates that no page in the allocation unit has changed since the last full database dump.
● 1 – indicates that at least one page in the allocation unit has changed since the last database dump.

sysdams is automatically increased in size by an alter database operation. You cannot select from or view
sysdams.

1.6 syblicenseslog

Applies to master database only. syblicenseslog contains one row for each update of the maximum
number of licenses used in the SAP ASE server per 24-hour period. syblicenseslog is updated every 24
hours. If the SAP ASE server is shut down at any time, License Use Manager logs the number of licenses
currently being used in syblicenseslog before the shutdown is complete. The 24-hour period restarts when
you start the SAP ASE server.

 Note

syblicenseslog is not a system table. Its type is “U” and its object ID is greater than 255.

Columns

The columns for syblicenseslogs are:

Name Datatype Description

status smallint Status of the maximum number of licenses used; one of the following:

● 0 = number of licenses not exceeded

● 1 = number of licenses is exceeded
● -1 = housekeeper is unable to monitor number of licenses

logdate datetime Date and time the log was written

maxlicens int Maximum number of licenses used during the 24-hour period
es

16 PUBLIC System Tables
1.7 sysalternates

Applies to all databases. sysalternates contains one row for each SAP ASE user that is mapped or aliased to
a user of the current database. When a user tries to access a database, the SAP ASE server looks for a valid
uid entry in sysusers. If none is found, it looks in sysalternates.suid. If the user’s suid is found there, he
or she is treated as the database user whose suid is listed in sysalternates.altsuid.

Columns

The columns for sysalternates are:

Name Datatype Description

suid int Server user ID of user being mapped

altsuid int Server user ID of user to whom another user is mapped

Indexes

Unique clustered index on suid.

1.8 sysaltusages

Applies to the scratch database. The sysaltusages system table maps page numbers in an archive database
to the actual page within either the database dump and its stripes, or the modified pages section.

Unlike the sysusages table in a traditional database, however, the sysaltusages table does not map every
logical page in the database. sysaltusages maps pages that have been:

● Stored in a database dump

● Modified, and therefore, relocated to the modified pages section

See Archive Database Access in the System Administration Guide, Volume 2.

Reference Manual: Tables

System Tables PUBLIC 17
Columns

The columns for sysaltusages are:

Name Datatype Description

dbid smallint The database ID of the archive database

location int The location of the archive database segment where the physically contiguous block of pa­
ges resides.

In the location column, a value of 5 and 6 means the location is in the database dump,
transaction log dump, or their stripes, and a value of 7 or 8 means that the location is in the
modified pages section. A value of 4 is used to fill the gaps for pages that are not physically
available.

lstart unsigned The logical page number of the start of the block of physically contiguous pages.
int

size unsigned The number of logical pages in the block of physically contiguous pages.
int

vstart int The offset of the start of the contiguous block of pages on the device given by vdevno.

vdevno int The device number on which the contiguous block of pages resides.

segmap int A map of the segments to which this block of pages is allocated.

 Note

Because sysaltusages is a row-locked catalog, you may need to periodically use reorg to reclaim
logically deleted space.

The scratch database stores the new sysaltusages table. The scratch database is used to provide flexibility
as to where the sysaltusages table is located.

The scratch database can be any database (with some exceptions like master and temporary databases).
You should dedicate a database that is used only as a scratch database, because:

● The size of sysaltusages may vary depending on the number of archive databases it supports. You
cannot decrease the size of a database, but if it is too large, you can drop it and re-create a smaller
database when required.
● It allows you to turn on the "trunc log on checkpoint" option so that the database log be
automatically truncated.

Apart from hosting the sysaltusages table, this database is like any other. You can use threshold procedures
and other space management mechanisms to manage space within the database.

You must specify a database that is to be used as a scratch database, by entering:

sp_dboption <db name>, "scratch database", "true"

Reference Manual: Tables

18 PUBLIC System Tables
Each archive database can be assigned to only one scratch database at a time, but multiple archive databases
can use the same scratch database. If you have a large number of archive databases, you may want to define
multiple scratch databases.

sysaltusages includes a unique clustered index named csysaltusages on dbid, location, and lstart.

1.9 sysattributes

Applies to all databases. System attributes define properties of objects such as databases, tables, indexes,
users, logins, and procedures. sysattributes contains one row for each of an object’s attribute definitions
(configured by various system procedures). master..sysattributes defines the complete set of valid
attribute values and classes for the SAP ASE server as a whole. It also stores attribute definitions for server-
wide objects, such as databases and logins.

Use only system procedures to access sysattributes. The permissions required for modifying
sysattributes depend on the system procedure you use.

Columns

The columns for sysattributes are:

Name Datatype Description

class smallint The attribute class ID. This describes the category of the attribute. In
master..sysattributes, the special class 0 identifies all valid classes of attrib­
utes for the SAP ASE server.

attribute smallint The attribute ID, this column specifies a default decrypt on an encrypted column with a
value of 1 (DECRYPT-DEFAULT_ID) for objects with a type of EC and a class of 25.

object_type char(2) A one- or two-letter character ID that defines the type of object to associate with the
attribute.

object_cinfo varchar(2
55) null

object_cinfo varchar(2 A string identifier for the object (forA string identifier for the object (for example, the
2 55) null name of an application) in a SDC environment. This field is not used by all attributes.
example, the name of an application). This field is not used by all attributes.

object int null The object identifier. This may be an object ID, user ID, decrypt default ID, or database
ID, depending on the type of object. If the object is a part of a table (for example, an
index), this column contains the object ID of the associated table.

Reference Manual: Tables

System Tables PUBLIC 19
Name Datatype Description

object_info1 int null Defines additional information required to identify the object. This field is not used by
, all attributes. The contents of this field depend on the attribute that is defined.
object_info2 ● object_info_1 – includes the table ID for a table whose encrypted column de­
, fines the decrypt default.
object_info3
● object_info2 – specifies the <colid> of the encrypted column that includes
the decrypt default.

int_value int null An integer value for the attribute (for example, the display level of a user).

char_value varchar(7 A character value for the attribute (for example, a cache name).
68) null

text_value text null A text value for the attribute.

image_value image An image value for the attribute.

null

comments varchar(2 A string identifier for the object (forComments or additional information about the at­
55) null tribute definition.

object_datet null datetime value for the attribute. Its use depends on the module using the attribute,
ime but it typically refers to the date and time the attribute was created.

The relevant values most frequently used in object_type are:

● D – Database
● I – Index
● L – Login
● LR – Login Profile
● P – Proc
● T – Table
● U – User
● AP – Application
● DC – Dump Condition
● EL – External Login (OMNI)
● OD – Object Definition (OMNI)
● TC – Transaction Coordination (ASTC)

● TP – Text Page (OMNI)
● QP – Query Plans (abstract plans)
● UR – User Role
● GR – Group Role
● LG – Login (for MTDB binding)
● EG – Engine Group

Reference Manual: Tables

20 PUBLIC System Tables
 ● PS – Password Security
● SP – Keypair Regeneration Period

These values provide additional information for sysattributes, and are not for use as standalone values. For
this reason, use these values only in conjunction with the class ID.

Indexes

● Unique clustered index on class, attribute, object_type, object, object_info1, object_info2,

object_info3, object_cinfo.
● Nonclustered index on object_type, object, object_info1, object_info2, object_info3,
object_cinfo.

1.10 sysauditoptions

Applies to sybsecurity database. sysauditoptions contains one row for each server-wide audit option and
indicates the current setting for that option.
Other types of auditing option settings are stored in other tables. For example, database-specific option
settings are stored in sysdatabases, and object-specific option settings are stored in sysobjects. The
default value for each option is 0, or “off.” Only system security officers can access sysauditoptions.

Columns

The columns for sysauditoptions are:

Name Datatype Description

num smallint Number of the server-wide option.

val smallint Current value; one of the following:

● 0 = off
● 1 = pass
● 2 = fail
● 3 = on

minval smallint Minimum valid value for this option.

maxval smallint Maximum valid value for this option.

name varchar(30) Name of option.

sval varchar(30) String equivalent of the current value: for example, “on”, “off”, “nonfatal”.

Name Datatype Description

comment varchar(255) Description of option.

id int Server user ID (suid) of the login in syslogins.

status int Internal status information.

1.11 sysaudits_01 – sysaudits_08

Applies to sybsecurity database. These system tables contain the audit trail. Only one table at a time is active.
The active table is determined by the value of the current audit table configuration parameter. An
installation can have as many as eight audit tables. For example, if your installation has three audit tables, the
tables are named sysaudits_01, sysaudits_02, and sysaudits_03. An audit table contains one row for
each audit record.

Columns

The columns for sysaudits_01 – sysaudits_08 are:

Name Datatype Description

event smallint Type of event being audited.

eventmod smallint Further information about the event. Possible values are:

● 0 = no modifier for this event.

● 1 = the event passed permission checking.
● 2 = the event failed permission checking.

spid smallint Server process ID of the process that caused the audit record to be written.

1.16 syscomments

Applies to all databases. syscomments contains entries for each view, rule, default, trigger, table constraint,
partition, procedure, computed column, function-based index key, and other forms of compiled objects. The
text column contains the original definition statements. If the text column is longer than 255 bytes, the
entries span rows. Each object can occupy as many as 65,025 rows.

It also stores the text of a computed column, function-based index, or partition definition—for example,
“values <= <value_list>” for a range partition.

The create service command stores text in syscomments, as it uses the create procedure
infrastructure.

Columns

The columns for syscomments are:

Name Datatype Description

id int Object ID to which this text applies.

number smallint Sub-procedure number when the procedure is grouped (0 for nonprocedure entries).

colid smallint The low portion of a column counter for this procedure’s comments. Can vary from 0 to
32767. If a procedure has more text than fits in that many rows, this counter works together
with colid2.

texttype smallint Indicates the comment type. Values are:

● 0 – system-supplied comment, for views, rules, defaults, triggers, and procedures

● 1 – user-supplied comment for adding entries that describe an object or column

language smallint Reserved.

object was created
● 0x8 – SYSCOM_SHARED_INLINE_DEF indicates the text is for a sharable inline de­
fault

version smallint The version of encryption that encodes the algorithm used to encrypt the hidden text for
null this row. One of:

● Null – no encryption for hidden text

● 1 – (the default) the SAP ASE server obfuscation algorithm used in versions of SAP ASE
15.0 and earlier
● 2 – (optional) Advanced Encryption Standard (“AES”) strong encryption

partitio int null Partition ID. Otherwise, null.

nid

encrkeyi int null The encryption key ID from the key object in sysencryptkeys in the current database
d that the SAP ASE server used to encrypt the hidden text of this object when version has
a value of 2. Otherwise, the SAP ASE server uses a value of null for encrkeyid.

 Note

Do not delete the definition statements from the text column of syscomments. These statements are
required for the SAP ASE upgrade process. To encrypt a definition statement, execute the system
procedure sp_hidetext. To see if a statement created in version 11.5 or later was deleted, execute
sp_checksource. If the statement was deleted, you must either re-create the object that created the
statement or reinstall the application that created the object, which re-creates the statement.

You can protect the text of a database object against unauthorized access by restricting select permission on
the text column of the syscomments table to the owner of the object and the system administrator. This
restriction, which applies to direct access through select statements as well as access through stored
procedures, is required to run SAP ASE in the evaluated configuration. To enact this restriction, a system
security officer must reset the parameter called select on syscomments.text using the system procedure
sp_configure. For information about the evaluated configuration, see the Security Administration Guide:
Volume 1.

value4 int null Stores the number of the cache partition for an IMRS cache. The value for an IMRS cache
is always 1 since IMRS caches are not partitioned.

instancei tinyint ID of the instance. Available only for cluster environments.

d

The value2 column of the sysconfigures table stores the size in terms of string such as 5G, or 20M.

In versions earlier than 16.0 SP02 PL06 the size of cache and pool was stored as an absolute value in terms of
Kilobytes. In versions 16.0 SP02 PL06 and later, the value column of sysconfigures stores the absolute value
in terms of 2K.

For example, if the size of cache is 10MB, then the following will be stored from 16.0 SP02 PL06 and later:

sysconfigures.value = (10 * 1024KB)/2 = 5120 [absolute value in terms of 2K]

SAP ASE server for recovery and roll forward.

You can run select queries against the sysimrslogs system table, but you cannot delete from, insert into, or
update sysimrslogs. Every data modification operation is logged, so before you can change sysimrslogs,
the change must be logged. This means that a change operation on sysimrslogs adds a row to
sysimrslogs, which then must be logged, adding another row to sysimrslogs, and so on, producing an
infinite loop. The loop continues until the database becomes full.

1.38 syslogs

Applies to all databases. syslogs contains the transaction log. It is used by the SAP ASE server for recovery
and roll forward. It is not useful to users.

You cannot delete from, insert into, or update syslogs. Every data modification operation is logged, so before
you can change syslogs, the change must be logged. This means that a change operation on syslogs adds a
row to syslogs, which then must be logged, adding another row to syslogs, and so on, producing an infinite
loop. The loop continues until the database becomes full.

Columns

The columns for syslogs are:

Name Datatype Description

xactid binary(6) Transaction ID

op tinyint Number of update operation

1.39 syslogshold

Applies to master database only. syslogshold contains information about each database’s oldest active
transaction (if any) and the Replication Server truncation point (if any) for the transaction log, but it is not a
normal table. Rather, it is built dynamically when queried by a user. No updates to syslogshold are allowed.

 Note

Because of this change in the datatypes for the Cluster Edition, you should archive and truncate audit
tables before you upgrade. This reduces the likelihood of a failed upgrade because of insufficient space in
the sybsecurity database.

Server).

name char(67) Name of the oldest active transaction. It is the name defined with begin
transaction, “$user_transaction” if no value is specified with begin
transaction, or “$chained_transaction” for implicit transactions started by the ANSI
chained mode. Internal transactions started by the SAP ASE server have names that begin
with the dollar sign ($) and are named for the operation, or are named “$replication_trun­
cation_point” for Replication Server.

● Bit 3 – binary options

number int The switch ID as an integer.

sysoptions shows:

● Trace flags set in the runserver file with the –T options

● Trace flags set with dbcc traceon(<flag_number>) or set switch serverwide on
● Trace flags and switches set by a specific system process ID (SPID) using set switch on

sysoptions displays only the switches that are visible to the user querying the sysoptions table. That is, the
user cannot see switches set privately by other SPIDs with set switch on. However, traceflags enabled
using the runserver file –T option, dbcc traceon, or set switch serverwide on are visible to all users.

Query sysoptions using sp_options. The datatype for the current and default value is varchar so settings
with varchar values can be used directly. Settings with integer values can be used after typecasting.

You do not need special privileges to query sysoptions. For example:

select * from sysoptions

where spid = 13
go

You can also use string manipulation or typecasting. For example, if an option is numeric, you can query
sysoptions by entering:

if (isnumeric(currentsetting))
select@int_val = convert(int, currentsetting)
...
else
select@char_val = currentsetting

cnt unsigned bigint Number of times the query has been executed.

abort_cnt int null Number of times a query is aborted by the Resource Governor when a re­

qtext varchar(255) Query text

null

The number of metrics shared among user IDs increased for SAP ASE release 15.0.2 and later, reducing the
number of entries in sysquerymetrics (a view of sysqueryplans), and automatically aggregates the
metrics for identical queries across different user IDs.

The user ID (uid) of sysquerymetrics is 0 when all table names in a query that are not qualified by user
name are owned by the DBO.

For example, if table t1 is owned only by the DBO and shared by different users:

select * from t1 where c1 = 1

The SAP ASE server uses 0 as the uid for the sysquerymetrics entry for all users executing this query who
do not have a private table named t1.

In this example, if table t2 is owned and qualified by “user1,” the SAP ASE server also uses an UID of 0:

select * from user1.t2 where c1 = 1

Reference Manual: Tables

System Tables PUBLIC 93
However, if table t3 is owned only by “user1,” but is unqualified and not owned by the DBO, the UID of “user1” is
used in the sysquerymetrics entry:

select * from t3 where c1 = 1

To find out what role ID is associated with the bitmask output in currauth in your SAP ASE server, perform the
following select statement:

1> select (c.number - 1) as role_id,role_name(c.number - 1) as role_name

2> from systhresholds ,master.dbo.spt_values c
3> where convert(tinyint,substring(isnull(currauth,0x1), c.low,1)) &

5> and c.type = "P"
6> and c.number <= 1024
7> and c.number >0
8> and role_name(c.number - 1) is not null
9> go

The SAP ASE server returns something similar to the following:

Datatypes with names ending with 'n' are internal, nullable datatypes. When you define a column with a nullable
datatype (for example, datetime null), SAP ASE converts it to the internal nullable form of the datatype (for
example, datetimn). You cannot define a column with these internal nullable datatypes when creating a table.
For example:

create table t1 (c1 intn)

go
Msg 2715, Level 16, State 2:

1.69 sysusages

Applies to master database only. sysusages contains one row for each disk allocation piece assigned to a
database. Each database contains a specified number of database (logical) page numbers.

The create database command checks sysdevices and sysusages to find available disk allocation
pieces. One or more contiguous disk allocation pieces are assigned to the database, and the mapping is
recorded in sysusages.

See System Tables That Manage Space Allocation in the System Administration Guide: Volume 2.

Reference Manual: Tables

  Note

In SAP ASE version 15.0 and later, the device identification number is stored in the vdevno column and not
as part of the vstart column. As a consequence, you may need to modify scripts and stored procedures
that determine the device identification number based on the earlier schema.

Columns

The columns for sysusages are:

uous block of pages resides.

In the location column, a value of 5 and 6 means the location is in the

database dump, transaction log dump, or their stripes, and a value of 7 or
8 means that the location is in the modified pages section. A value of 4 is
used to fill the gaps for pages that are not physically available.

each group or role.

On the SAP ASE distribution media, master..sysusers contains some initial users:

● dbo – with an suid of 1 and uid of 1.

● guest – with an suid of -1 and uid of 2.
The user guest provides a mechanism for giving users not explicitly listed in sysusers access to the
database with a restricted set of permissions. The guest entry in master means any user with an account
on the SAP ASE server (that is, with an entry in syslogins) can access master.

2 dbccdb Tables

In addition to the standard system tables included in all databases, the dbcc management database, dbccdb,
contains seven tables that define inputs to and outputs from dbcc checkstorage. It also contains at least
two workspaces.

2.1 dbccdb Workspaces

Workspaces are special tables in dbccdb that store intermediate results of the dbcc checkstorage
operation.

Workspaces differ from worktables in that they:

● Are preallocated contiguously to improve I/O performance

● Are persistent
● Do not reside in the tempdb database

When you create dbccdb, two workspaces are created automatically. They are preallocated as follows:

● Scan workspace – contains a row for each page of the target database. The allocation is approximately 1
percent of the database size. Each row consists of a single binary(18) column.
● Text workspace – contains a row for each table in the target database that contains text or image
columns. The size of this table depends on the design of the target database, but it is usually significantly
smaller than the scan workspace. Each row consists of a single binary(22) column.

If either allocation is larger than needed by dbcc checkstorage, the operation uses only what is required.
The allocation does not change. If the text workspace allocation is too small, dbcc checkstorage reports
this, recommends a new size, and continues checking; however, not all text chains are checked. If the scan
workspace allocation is too small, the dbcc checkstorage operation fails immediately.

You must have at least one scan and one text workspace, but you may create as many as you need. While in
use, the workspaces are locked so that only one dbcc checkstorage operation can use them at any given
time. You can execute concurrent dbcc checkstorage operations by supplying each one with a separate
scan and text workspace.

For more information on creating workspaces, see the System Administration Guide and the Reference Manual.

Ideally, you should access workspaces only through dbcc checkstorage, but this is not a requirement. dbcc
checkstorage exclusively locks the workspaces it uses, and the content of the workspaces is regenerated
with each execution of dbcc checkstorage. The workspaces do not contain any secure data.

 Note

While the contents of the workspaces are accessible through SQL, no interpretation of the binary values is
available. Access through SQL might return data from different dbcc checks mixed together. The presence
of a row in these tables does not ensure that it contains valid data. dbcc tracks valid rows only during
execution. That information is lost when the operation completes.

Reference Manual: Tables

dbccdb Tables PUBLIC 125
Most of the update activity in dbccdb is performed in the text and scan workspaces. The workspaces are
preallocated, and only one dbcc checkstorage operation can use the workspaces at any given time, so the
workspaces are less susceptible to corruption than most user tables. Corruption in a workspace can cause the
dbcc checkstorage operation to fail or behave erratically. If this happens, drop and re-create the corrupt
workspace.

Checks of databases using different workspaces can proceed simultaneously, but the performance of each
operation might be degraded as it competes for disk throughput.

To delete a workspace, in dbccdb, enter:

drop table <workspace_name>

2.2 dbccdb Log

The results of each dbcc checkstorage operation are recorded in the dbccdb log. Updates to the text and
scan workspaces are not recorded there.

You must size the dbccdb log to handle updates to the tables. The log requirement is related to the number of
tables and indexes in the target database. It is not related to the target database size.

To minimize the log requirement and the recovery time, use the truncate log on checkpoint option with
dbccdb.

2.3 dbcc_config

The dbcc_config table describes the currently executing or last completed dbcc checkstorage operation.

dbcc_config defines:

● The location of resources dedicated to the dbcc checkstorage operation

● Resource usage limits for the dbcc checkstorage operation

5002 pages used Specifies the number of pages linked to the object being checked that are ac­
tually used to hold the object.

5003 pages reserved Specifies the number of pages that are reserved for the object being checked,
but that are not allocated for use by that object. The difference between (8 *
extents used) and (pages used + pages reserved) shows the to­
tal uncommitted deallocations and pages incorrectly allocated.

5004 pages overhead Specifies the number of pages used for the overhead functions such as OAM
pages or index statistics.

5005 extents used Specifies the number of extents allocated to the object in the partition being
checked. For object 99 (allocation pages), this value is the number of extents
that are not allocated to a valid object. Object 99 contains the storage that is
not allocated to other objects.

5006 count Specifies the number of component items (rows or keys) found on any page in
the part of the object being checked.

5007 max count Specifies the maximum number of component items found on any page in the
part of the object being checked.

5008 max size Specifies the maximum size of any component item found on any page in the
part of the object being checked.

5009 max level Specifies the maximum number of levels in an index. This datatype is not ap­
plicable to tables.

5010 pages misallocated Specifies the number of pages that are allocated to the object, but are not ini­

5017 page extent Specifies the number of pages that are linked to pages outside of their own ex­
crosses tent. As the number of page extent crosses increases relative to
pages used or extents used, the effectiveness of large I/O buffers de­
creases.

5018 page extent gaps Specifies the number of page extent crosses where the subsequent extent is
not the next extent in ascending sequence. Maximal I/O performance on a full
scan is achieved when the number of page extent gaps is minimized. A
seek or full disk rotation is likely for each gap.

5019 ws buffer crosses Specifies the number of pages that are linked outside of their workspace buf­
fer cache during the dbcc checkstorage operation. This information can
be used to size the cache, which provides high performance without wasting

when the fault was detected. All localized faults include this parameter.

10001 page header Specifies the hexadecimal representation of the header of the page that was
being checked when the fault was detected. This information is useful for eval­

 type_code type_name Description

10003 object id Specifies a 9-byte hexadecimal value that provides the object id (table),
the partition id (partition of the table) if applicable, and the index id
(index) of the page or allocation being checked.

For example, if a page is expected to belong to table T1 because it is reached

from T1’s chain, but is actually allocated to table T2, the object id for T1
is recorded, and the object id expected for T2 is recorded. The server
truncates trailing zeros.

10007 page id expected Specifies the page ID that is expected for the linked page when there is a dis­
crepancy between the page ID that is expected and the page ID that is actually
encountered.

For example, if you follow the chain from P1 to P2 when going forward, then,
when going backward, P1 is expected to come after P2. The value of page
id expected is P1, and the value of page id is P2. When the actual
value of P3 is encountered, it is recorded as page id actual.

10008 page id actual When there is a discrepancy between the page ID that is encountered and the
expected page ID, this value specifies the actual page ID that is encountered.
(See also, type_code 10007.)

For example, if you follow the chain from P1 to P2 when going forward, then,
when going backward, P1 is expected to come after P2. The value of page
id expected is P1, and the value of page id is P2. When the actual
value of P3 is encountered, it is recorded as page id actual.

10009 object id expected Specifies a 9-byte hexadecimal value that provides the expected object id (ta­
ble), the partition id (partition of the table) if applicable, and the index id (in­
dex) of the page or allocation being checked.

For example, if a page is expected to belong to table T1 because it is reached

from T1’s chain, but is actually allocated to table T2, the object id for T1
is recorded, and the object id expected for T2 is recorded. The server
truncates trailing zeros.

100000 IO error Indicates that part of the identified page could not be fetched from the device.
This is usually caused by a failure of the operating system or the hardware.

100001 page id error Indicates that the identifying ID (page number) recorded on the page is not
valid. This might be the result of a page being written to or read from the
wrong disk location, corruption of a page either before or as it is being written,
or allocation of a page without subsequent initialization of that page.

100002 page free offset Indicates that the end of data on a page is not valid. This event affects inser­
error tions and updates on this page. It might affect some access to the data on this
page.

100003 page object id Indicates that the page appears to be allocated to some other table than the
error one expected. If this is a persistent fault, it might be the consequence of ei­
ther:

● An incorrect page allocation, which might only result in the effective loss
of this page to subsequent allocation, or
● A corrupted page chain, which might prevent access to the data in the
corrupted chain.

100004 timestamp error Indicates that the page has a timestamp that is later than the database time­

100005 wrong dbid error Indicates that the database ID dbid is stored on the database allocation pa­
ges. When this ID is incorrect, the allocation page is corrupt and all the indi­
cated allocations are suspect.

100006 wrong object error Indicates that the page allocation is inconsistent. The page appears to belong
to one table or index, but it is recorded as being allocated to some other table
or index in the allocation page. This error differs from page object id
error in that the allocation is inconsistent, but the consequences are similar.

100007 extent id error Indicates that an allocation was found for a table or index that is unknown to
dbcc checkstorage. Typically, this results in the inability to use the allo­
cated storage.

100008 fixed format error Indicates that the page incorrectly indicates that it contains only rows of a sin­
gle fixed length. dbcc checkstorage reports this error. dbcc
checktable does not report it, but does repair it.

100009 row format error Indicates that at least one row on the page is incorrectly formatted. This error
might cause loss of access to some or all the data on this page.

100010 row offset error Indicates that at least one row on the page is not located at the expected page
offset. This error might cause loss of access to some or all of the data on this
page.

100011 text pointer error Indicates that the location of the table row that points to the corrupted text
or image data. This information might be useful for correcting the problem.

100012 wrong type error Indicates that the page has the wrong format. For example, a data page was
found in an index or a text/image column.

100013 non-OAM error This error is a special case of wrong type error. It is not reported as a
separate condition in the current release.

100014 reused page error Indicates that a page is reached by more than one chain and that the chains
belong to different objects. This error indicates illegal sharing of a page
through corrupt page chain linkages. Access to data in either or both tables
might be affected.

100015 page loop error Indicates that a page is reached a second time while following the page chain
for an object, which indicates a loop in the page chain. A loop can result in a
session hanging indefinitely while accessing data in that object.

100016 OAM ring error Indicates that a page is allocated but not reached by the page chains for the
object.Typically, this results in the inability to use the allocated storage.

100017 OAM ring error Indicates that the OAM page ring linkages are corrupted. This might not affect
access to the data for this object, but it might affect insertions, deletions, and
updates to that data.

100018 missing OAM error Indicates that dbcc checkstorage found an allocation for the object that
was not recorded in the OAM. This error indicates a corruption that might af­
fect future allocations of storage, but probably does not affect access to the
presently stored data.

100019 extra OAM error Indicates that an allocation for this object was recorded in the OAM, but it was
not verified in the allocation page. This error indicates a corruption that might
affect future allocations of storage, but probably does not affect access to the
presently stored data.

100020 check aborted Indicates that dbcc checkstorage stopped checking the table or index.
error To prevent multiple fault reports, the check operation on a single chain might
be stopped without reporting this error. When an object contains several page
chains, failure of the check operation for one chain does not prevent the con­
tinuation of the check operation on the other chains unless a fault threshold is
exceeded.

100021 chain end error Indicates that the end of the chain is corrupted. As a soft fault, it might indi­
cate only that the chain was extended or truncated by more than a few pages
during the dbcc checkstorage operation.

100022 chain start error Indicates that the start of a chain is corrupted or is not at the expected loca­
tion. If this is a persistent fault, access to data stored in the object is probably
affected.

100023 used count error Indicates an inconsistency between the count of the pages used that is re­
corded in the OAM page and the count of the pages used that is determined
by examining the allocation pages.

100024 unused count error Indicates an inconsistency between the count of the pages reserved but un­
used that is recorded in the OAM page and the count of the pages reserved
but unused that is determined by examining the allocation pages.

100025 row count error Indicates an inconsistency between the row count recorded in the OAM page
and the row count determined by dbcc checkstorage.

100026 serialloc error Indicates a violation of the serial allocation rules applied to log allocations.

100027 text root error Indicates a violation of the format of the root page of a text or image index.
This check is similar to the root page checks performed by dbcc
textalloc.

100028 page misplaced Indicates that pages of this object were not found where they were expected
to be from examination of the system tables. This usually indicates that

3 Monitoring Tables

The Attributes column in monitoring and diagnostic (MDA) tables provides information about how the SAP ASE
server manages the column.

An Attribute value of:

● “Counter” indicates value in this column may wrap, or become zero and start incrementing again, because
the value exceeds the maximum possible value of 231. The SAP ASE server resets the monitor counters
when you run sp_sysmon without the noclear option. In SAP ASE version 15.0.1 and later, the noclear
option is, by default, included as a sp_sysmon parameter. In versions earlier than 15.0.1, you must specify
noclear to prevent the SAP ASE server from resetting the monitor counters.
Resetting monitor counters may skew your results if you run sp_sysmon on the same SAP ASE server on
which you are using the monitoring tables.
● “Null” indicates the column value may be null.
● “Reset” indicates the column is reset when you run sp_sysmon in a manner that causes it to clear the
monitoring counters (see Performance and Tuning Series: Monitoring Adaptive Server with sp_sysmon).

3.5 monCachedStatement

Stores detailed monitoring information about the statement cache.

The monCachedStatement table includes information about resources used during the previous executions of
a statement, how frequently a statement is executed, the settings in effect for a particular plan, the number of
concurrent uses of a statement, and so on. This information can be helpful when troubleshooting, and when
deciding which statements to retain in the cache.

 Note

Machines that use multiple CPUs with different clock frequencies may report inaccurate elapsed time.

● The columns in monCachedStatement allow two attributes: “counter” if the column has a counter value,
and “reset” if you can reset the column using sp_sysmon.
● Enable the enable monitoring, statement cache size, and enable stmt cache monitoring
configuration parameters for this monitoring table to collect data.
● Versions of SAP ASE earlier than 16.0 updated metrics in monCachedStatement when the statement
finished. However, when SAP ASE 16.0 and later executes a statement cache, it periodically updates these
values while it executes a query:
○ TotalLIO
○ MaxLIO
○ TotalPIO
○ MaxPIO
○ TotalCPUTime
○ MaxCPUTime
○ TotalElapsedTime
○ MaxElapsedTime
● Increments the UseCount column when statement begin execution. The value for UseCount is:

(number of completed queries) + (number of ongoing queries)

The CurrentUsageCount column includes the number of active queries for a statement. The number of
completed executions for a statement is:

(Value of UseCount) – (value of CurrentUsageCount)

● Increments the value for columns that describe maximums (for example, MaxCPUTime) for currently
executing statements if the metric described by the column (in this case, CpuTime) exceeds the maximum
value used during an intermediate update. Maximum columns reflect up-to-date metrics (including
metrics for active queries), which helps determine if a currently executing query is consuming resources
that exceed previous or normal usage.

Other metrics (for example, MinLIO and AvgLIO) are updated after query executions are finished.

by reading system catalogs and scanning disks at the time the query is issued. To minimize the time spent
getting results, specify as many of the table’s keys (DBID, DeviceNumber, SegmentNumber) as possible, to
limit the amount of work SAP ASE performs to obtain results. The bigger the database or the more databases
that you scan, the longer the query takes to produce results.

Columns

Name Datatype Attributes Description

DBID int None The database ID from sysdatabases.

Unique identifier for the database.

DeviceNumber int None The device ID from sysdevices. Unique

identifier for the device.

Name Datatype Attributes Description

SegmentNumber int None The segment ID from the local database’s

segments. Unique identifier for the
segment.

PagesUsed bigint None How many logical pages are in use on this
DBID, device, or segment.

Pages are allocated in groups of 8, even

though some of the allocated pages might
not be used. Thus, subtracting this
number from the total size of the device
for that database in sysusages will say
how much space is available for new
objects. It does not say whether or not
space is available for rows added to
objects already stored in that place.

Stranded int None How many logical pages should not be in

this segment.

Not required by DSAM. It is an indication of

whether or not objects should be where
they are and the column is usually zero.
When it is not zero, the device’s segment
map, as stored in sysusages does not
permit storage of that object on this
device. This situation is rare, but can occur
after the customer does
sp_placeobject to assign a partition
to a different segment: the existing data
for that partition does not automatically
move, so if the new segment is not
permitted where that data currently
resides then the data is ‘stranded’.

This example displays space used on the master device.

3.40 monLockTimeout

Provides information about lock timeouts. Each row identifies the object on which a blocked lock request
occurred, and identities of the blocked and blocking processes.

The monLockTimeout table records lock timeout events (called “timeouts”), that occur when:

● Two server processes are in contention for the same object lock, and,
● The lock wait period has expired

By default, the lock wait period on the server is infinite, so lock timeouts occur only if the user has
changed the lock timeout configuration at the:

● Server level – by changing the lock wait period configuration parameter

● Session level – by executing the set lock wait <n>, where <n> is the time, in seconds, for the lock
wait period

When the lock wait period expires – at the server or session level – the SAP ASE server writes a row to
monLockTimeout, recording the lock timeout event and describing the objects and processes involved in the
lock contention.

You must enable the enable monitoring, lock timeout pipe active, and lock timeout pipe max
messages configuration parameters for monLockTimeout monitoring table to collect data.

allocations. Adaptive Server allocates memory fragments,
and the number of allocations is tracked by NumAllocs.
When the task is finished, the memory fragment is freed (that
is, returned to the memory pool). NumFrees tracks the total
number of these free operations
