Greenplum: Script to find list of Append Only or Append Optimized Tables

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

In this post, I am sharing a script to find a list of Append Only or Append Optimized tables of Greenplum.

Before Greenplum 4.3, when you create Append only table, you can only perform insert and select on that table.
But from Greenplum 4.3, now you can perform UPDATE as well but still Append Only is efficient storage.

The Append Only tables are faster and also it reduces the disk usage by compressing the data size. You can use below script to find a list of Append only tables.

SELECT
b.nspname||'.'||a.relname as TableName
,case c.columnstore
when 'f' then 'Row Orientation'
when 't' then 'Column Orientation'
end as TableStorageType
,case COALESCE(c.compresstype,'')
when '' then 'No Compression'
else c.compresstype
end as CompressionType
FROM pg_class a
,pg_namespace b
,(select relid,segrelid,segidxid,columnstore,compresstype from pg_appendonly) c
WHERE b.oid=a.relnamespace
and a.oid=c.relid

    Awesome script, I would only add the compress level, as a bonus:

    SELECT
    b.nspname||’.’||a.relname as TableName
    ,case c.columnstore
    when ‘f’ then ‘Row Orientation’
    when ‘t’ then ‘Column Orientation’
    end as TableStorageType
    ,case COALESCE(c.compresstype,”)
    when ” then ‘No Compression’
    else c.compresstype
    end as CompressionType
    ,case COALESCE(c.compresslevel,”)
    when ” then 0
    else c.compresslevel
    end as CompressionLevel
    FROM pg_class a
    ,pg_namespace b
    ,(select relid,segrelid,segidxid,columnstore,compresstype,compresslevel from pg_appendonly) c
    WHERE b.oid=a.relnamespace
    and a.oid=c.relid
