This screen displays I/O information about a specific table, its indexes, and its referential constraints.

[tabindex]

To invoke the SampleIO TabIndex screen, use the tabi command from the SampleIO subsystem or the /sa tabi command from other subsystems.

You must specify a table name when invoking the SampleIO TabIndex screen, either on the command line or at an SQLMON prompt:

  SQLMONITOR {{OVERVIEW}} => /sa tabi PurchDB.Vendors

  SQLMONITOR {{OVERVIEW}} => /sa tabi

  OWNER.TABLE: PurchDB.Vendors

Field Definitions

REFRESH

The screen refresh rate, in seconds.

SORTSAMPLEIO

An indicator of how the indexes and referential constraints are sorted. The indexes and referential constraints are sorted in descending order by the value in the column indicated by the asterisk. In the above example, the indexes and referential constraints are sorted by TOTALIO values. For more information, see the SET SORTSAMPLEIO command.

OWNER.TABLE

The name of the table.

INDEX, CONSTRAINT

The index or referential constraint name.

SWAPIN

An approximation of read I/O for the object since the SET DBENVIRONMENT command was issued.

SWAPOUT

An approximation of write I/O for the object since the SET DBENVIRONMENT command was issued.

TOTALIO

The sum of the SWAPIN and SWAPOUT values. This value approximates total I/O.

Display Conventions

When the DISPLAYSAMPLES variable is set to ON, a value displayed in inverse video indicates that I/O on the database object has occurred during the most recent refresh interval.
