You use the AllSpace, Diskspace, and TableSize views that access data from the DatabaseSpace table to show how efficiently a table is distributed across the AMPs on which it is stored.
For example, the statement:
SELECT CurrentPerm, PeakPerm, AMP FROM DBC.AllSpace WHERE TableName = ’Personnel.Department’;
returns a row for each AMP on which the Department table is stored. Data in the CurrentPerm column shows, in bytes, how Department data is distributed across the AMPs.
If the distribution is uneven, you can tell from the CurrentPerm data. In addition, the PeakPerm column data indicates any fluctuations in distribution because the table was created.
