  • DBTYPE_GUID - Indicates a GUID.

  • DBTYPE_BYTES - Indicates a binary value.

  • DBTYPE_STR - Indicates a string value.

  • DBTYPE_WSTR - Indicates a null-terminated Unicode character string.

  • DBTYPE_NUMERIC - Indicates an exact numeric value with a fixed precision and scale. The scale is between 0 and 38.

  • DBTYPE_DBDATE - Indicates a date value (yyyymmdd).

  • DBTYPE_DBTIME - Indicates a time value (hhmmss).

  • DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP - Indicates a date-time stamp (yyyymmddhhmmss plus a fraction in billionths).

ISKEY

xsd:boolean

Indicates whether the column is a key column.

ISUNIQUE

xsd:boolean

Indicates whether the column contains unique values.

ISNULLABLE

xsd:boolean

Indicates whether the column can contain NULL values.

ISROWNUMBER

xsd:boolean

Indicates whether the column is a Row Number column.

DICTIONARY_SIZE<331>

xsd:long

Indicates the amount of memory that is used by the dictionary data structure associated with the column, in bytes. The dictionary data structure maps column data IDs to the actual values.

DICTIONARY_ISPAGEABLE<332>

xsd:boolean

Indicates the Vertipaq Data Paging (VDP) state of the dictionary, which specifies whether the dictionary is pageable. If the VDP state of the dictionary is unknown, the default value is NULL. Otherwise, the value is a Boolean.

DICTIONARY_ISRESIDENT<333>

xsd:boolean

Indicates the VDP state of the dictionary, which specifies whether the dictionary is resident. If the VDP state of the dictionary is unknown, the default value is NULL. Otherwise, the value is a Boolean.

DICTIONARY_TEMPERATURE<334>

xsd:double

Indicates the scaled numeric value of the frequency of dictionary access. The value is based on the most recent access time and usage. This column has a numeric value only if the dictionary is pageable and has been loaded at least once; otherwise, the value is NULL.

DICTIONARY_LAST_ACCESSED<335>

xsd:datetime

Indicates the most recent time the dictionary was accessed. 

  • For non-pageable tables in the dictionary, the DICTIONARY_LAST_ACCESSED  value is NULL.

  • For pageable tables in the dictionary, DICTIONARY_LAST_ACCESSED value NULL denotes the table has not been loaded since server startup.

The rowset is not sorted.
