  • आलेख

Applies to: SQL Server

This article describes the arguments and properties for spatial index stored procedures.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

For the syntax of specific spatial index stored procedures, see the following articles:

Arguments

[ @tabname = ] N'tabname'

The qualified or nonqualified name of the table for which the spatial index has been specified.

Quotation marks are required only if a qualified table is specified. If a fully qualified name, including a database name, is provided, the database name must be the name of the current database. @tabname is nvarchar(776), with no default.

[ @indexname = ] N'indexname'

The name of the spatial index specified. @indexname is sysname, with no default.

[ @verboseoutput = ] verboseoutput

The range of property names and values to be returned. @verboseoutput is tinyint, with no default, and can be one of these values.

  • 0 = core properties
  • >0 = all properties

[ @query_sample = ] query_sample

A representative query sample that can be used to test the usefulness of the index. @query_sample is geography, with no default. It might be a representative object or a query window.

[ @xml_output = ] N'xml_output' OUTPUT

Returns the result set in an XML fragment. @xml_output is an OUTPUT parameter of type xml.

Properties

Set @verboseoutput = 0 to return core properties as shown in the following table, or @verboseoutput > 0 to return all properties of the spatial index.

Base_Table_Rows

Number of rows in the base table. Value is bigint.

Bounding_Box_xmin

X-minimum bounding box properties of the spatial index for geometry type. This property value is NULL for geography type. Value is float.

Bounding_Box_ymin

Y-minimum bounding box properties of the spatial index for geometry type. This property value is NULL for geography type. Value is float.

Bounding_Box_xmax

X-maximum bounding box properties of the spatial index for geometry type. This property value is NULL for geography type. Value is float.

Bounding_Box_ymax

Y-maximum bounding box properties of the spatial index for geometry type. This property value is NULL for geography type. Value is float.

Grid_Size_Level_1

Level 1 grid density of the spatial index:

  • 16 for LOW
  • 64 for MEDIUM
  • 256 for HIGH

Value is int.

Grid_Size_Level_2

Level 2 grid density of the spatial index:

  • 16 for LOW
  • 64 for MEDIUM
  • 256 for HIGH

Value is int.

Grid_Size_Level_3

Level 3 grid density of the spatial index:

  • 16 for LOW
  • 64 for MEDIUM
  • 256 for HIGH

Value is int.

Grid_Size_Level_4

Level 4 grid density of the spatial index:

  • 16 for LOW
  • 64 for MEDIUM
  • 256 for HIGH

Value is int.

Cells_Per_Object

Number of cells per object (index property). Value is int.

Total_Primary_Index_Rows

Number of rows in the index. Value is bigint.

Total_Primary_Index_Pages

Number of pages in the index. Value is bigint.

Average_Number_Of_Index_Rows_Per_Base_Row

Number of index rows / number base table rows. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level0_For_QuerySample

Indicates whether the representative query sample falls outside of the bounding box of the geometry index and into the root cell (level 0 cell). This is either 0 (not in level 0 cell) or 1. If it's in the level 0 cell, the investigated index isn't an appropriate index for the query sample. This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level0_In_Index

Number of cell instances of indexed objects that are tessellated in level 0 (root cell, outside the bounding box for geometry). This is a core property. Value is bigint.

For geometry indexes, this occurs if the bounding box of the index is smaller than the data domain. A high number of objects in level 0 might require secondary filters if the query window falls partially outside the bounding box and decreases the index performance (for example, Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level0_For_QuerySample is 1). If the query window falls inside the bounding box, a high number of objects in level 0 might actually improve the performance of the index.

NULL and empty instances are counted at level 0 but don't affect performance. Level 0 has as many cells as NULL and empty instances at the base table. For geography indexes, level 0 has as many cells as NULL and empty instances +1 cell, because the query sample is counted as 1.

Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level1_In_Index

Number of cell instances of indexed objects that are tessellated with level 1 precision. This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level2_In_Index

Number of cell instances of indexed objects that are tessellated with level 2 precision. This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level3_In_Index

Number of cell instances of indexed objects that are tessellated with level 3 precision. This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_ObjectCells_In_Level4_In_Index

Total_Number_Of_interior_ObjectCells_In_Level1_In_Index

Number of cells that are completely covered by an object at tessellation level 1 and thus are interior to the object. (Cell_attributevalue is 2.) This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_interior_ObjectCells_In_Level2_In_Index

Number of cells that are completely covered by an object at tessellation level 2 and thus are interior to the object. (Cell_attribute value is 2.) This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_interior_ObjectCells_In_Level3_In_Index

Total_Number_Of_Border_ObjectCells_In_Level0_For_QuerySample

Indicates whether the query sample is in the root cell 0 outside the bounding box, but touching it. This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Note

This information is only useful in determining whether there are objects that the bounding box might have closely missed.

Total_Number_Of_Border_ObjectCells_In_Level0_In_Index

Number of objects in level 0 that touch the bounding box. (Cell_attribute value is 0.) Value is bigint.

Total_Number_Of_Border_ObjectCells_In_Level1_In_Index

Interior_To_Total_Cells_Normalized_To_Leaf_Grid_Percentage

Percentage of the total area (total leaf cells) of the grid that contains leaf cells covered by an object.

For example, an object is tessellated into 10 cells at the four different grid levels covering an area that is equivalent to 100 leaf cells in total. Suppose there are three interior cells that are completely covered by the object. The area covered by the three interior cells is equivalent to 42 leaf cells. Thus, the percentage of covered area is 42 percent. This is a good measure of how well the objects in the index are shredded.

Value is float.

Intersecting_To_Total_Cells_Normalized_To_Leaf_Grid_Percentage

Same as Interior_To_Total_Cells_Normalized_To_Leaf_Grid_Percentage, except that these are partially covered cells. Value is float.

Same as Interior_To_Total_Cells_Normalized_To_Leaf_Grid_Percentage except that these are border cells. Value is float.

Average_Cells_Per_Object_Normalized_To_Leaf_Grid

Average_Objects_PerLeaf_GridCell

Sparseness of the index. Average number of objects per leaf cell. Value is float.

Number_Of_SRIDs_Found

If there are N rows in the base table, and P are selected by the primary filter, this returns (N-P)/N as percentage. This is a core property. Value is float.

Percentage_Of_Primary_Filter_Rows_Selected_By_internal_Filter

If P rows are selected by the primary filter and S rows are selected by the internal filter, this returns S/P as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the better the index is in avoiding the more performance-expensive secondary filter. This is a core property. Value is float.

Number_Of_Rows_Output

Number of rows output by the query. This is a core property. Value is bigint.

Internal_Filter_Efficiency

Permissions

User must be a member of the public role. Requires READ ACCESS permission on the server and the object. This applies to all spatial index stored procedures.

Remarks

Properties containing NULL values aren't included in the return set.
