Backup operations

The following commands let you inspect tables and partitions in backup state, and query data versions within the retention period.

View all tables and their backup status

SHOW history FOR tables;

Returns all tables in the current project, including those in backup state. Output includes the table name, table ID, and creation or deletion time.

View backup history for a table

SHOW history FOR TABLE <table_name> [LIMIT <limit_value>] (LSN <lsn_value> | OFFSET <offset_value>);

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
`<table_name>`	Name of the table to query	Required
`LIMIT`	Maximum number of records to return. Must be greater than 0.	All records
`LSN <lsn_value>`	Start position specified as a Log Sequence Number (LSN). Example: `LSN '00000000000000000001'`	No filtering
`OFFSET <offset_value>`	Start position specified as an offset from the beginning (`>= 0`) or end (`< 0`) of the version history. `OFFSET 0` is the earliest record; `OFFSET -1` is the latest.	No filtering

View backup history for a deleted table

SHOW history FOR TABLE <table_name> ('id'='xxxx');

Returns data versions backed up within the retention period for a table that has been deleted.

View backup history for a partition

SHOW history FOR TABLE <table_name> partition_spec;

Instance operations

List instances submitted in the current project, with details on timing, status, and the query executed. The following commands are all equivalent:

show p|proc|processlist|instances [from <startdate>] [to <enddate>] [-p <project_name>] [-limit <number> | <number>] [-all];
ls|list instances [from <startdate>] [to <enddate>] [-p <project_name>] [-limit <number> | <number>] [-all];

Query permissions

Use SHOW to query permissions of users, roles, and objects. For complete syntax and examples, see Query permissions using MaxCompute SQL and Permission command set.

Collect optimizer information

Run show statistic to check the column statistics that the optimizer has collected for a table.

-- Check collection results for a single column.
show statistic analyze2_test columns (tinyint1);

-- Check collection results for multiple columns.
show statistic analyze2_test columns (smallint1, string1, boolean1, timestamp1);

-- Check collection results for all columns.
show statistic analyze2_test columns;

Output fields

Each column section lists the following statistics:

Field	Description
`MaxValue`	Maximum value in the column
`MinValue`	Minimum value in the column
`DistinctNum`	Number of distinct values
`NullNum`	Number of null values
`TopK`	Up to 20 values with the highest occurrence frequency, with their counts
`MaxLength`	Maximum value length — string and varchar columns only
`AvgLength`	Average value length — string and varchar columns only
