The SHOW RANGE... FOR ROW shows information about a for a single row in a table or index. This information is useful for verifying how SQL data maps to underlying ranges, and where the replicas for a range are located.

This feature is in and subject to change. To share feedback and/or issues, contact Support.

To show information about the ranges for all data in a table, index, or database, use the statement.

Syntax

SHOW RANGE FROM TABLE

FOR ROW (value1, value2, ...)
SHOW RANGE FROM INDEX [  @ ]  FOR ROW (value1, value2, ...)

Required privileges

The user must have the SELECT on the target table.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
tablename	The name of the table that contains the row that you want range information about.
indexname	The name of the index that contains the row that you want range information about.
(value1, value2, ...)	The values of the indexed columns of the row that you want range information about, as a tuple. In previous releases, this statement required the values of all columns of a row.

Response

The following fields are returned:

Field	Description
start\_key	The start key for the range.
end\_key	The end key for the range.
range\_id	The range ID.
lease\_holder	The node that contains the range’s .
lease\_holder\_locality	The of the leaseholder.
replicas	The nodes that contain the range .
replica\_localities	The of the range.
