Describes the search optimization configuration for a specified table and its columns.

Parameters¶table_name
Specifies the identifier for the table to describe. If the identifier contains spaces or special characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive.
The command prints a table containing information on each search method and target in the search optimization configuration. The table contains the following columns:
Column Name
Description
expression_id
Unique identifier for a search method and target.
method
Search method for optimizing queries for a particular type of predicate:
EQUALITY (for equality and IN predicates).
SUBSTRING (for predicates that match substrings – e.g. LIKE, ILIKE, etc.).
GEO (for predicates that use GEOGRAPHY types).
target
Column or VARIANT field that the method applies to.
target_data_type
Data type of the column or VARIANT field.
active
Specifies whether or not the expression has finished the initial build of the search access paths for the expression.
Usage notes¶To post-process the output of this command, you can use the pipe operator (->>) or the RESULT_SCAN function. Both constructs treat the output as a result set that you can query.
The output column names for this command are generated in lowercase. If you consume a result set from this command with the pipe operator or the RESULT_SCAN function, use double-quoted identifiers for the column names in the query to ensure that they match the column names in the output that was scanned. For example, if the name of an output column is type, then specify "type" for the identifier.
