This screen provides table I/O information.

[tables]

To invoke the SampleIO Tables screen, use the tabl command from the SampleIO subsystem or the /sa tabl command from other subsystems. For more information about using the SampleIO subsystem, see the chapter "Troubleshooting with SQLMON."

Field Definitions

REFRESH

The screen refresh rate, in seconds.

DBEFILESET

The name of the DBEFileSet. The tables contained within the DBEFileSet are listed below the DBEFileSet name.

SORTSAMPLEIO

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

OWNER.TABLE

The table name. Long column data is stored in internal ALLBASE/SQL tables which have no entries in SYSTEM.TABLE. To construct a name for these tables, SQLMON appends the column number of the long column to the table name. For example, the PURCHDB.REPORTS(3) entry represents the table that holds the long column data of the third column of the PURCHDB.REPORTS table.

SWAPIN

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

SWAPOUT

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

TOTALIO

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

Display Conventions

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