Create the column store table and row store table

 

The table structure is base on TPC-H’s customer table.

CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER_C ( C_CUSTKEY     INTEGER NOT NULL,

                             C_NAME        VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,

                             C_ADDRESS     VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,

                             C_NATIONKEY   INTEGER NOT NULL,

                             C_PHONE       CHAR(15) NOT NULL,

                             C_ACCTBAL     DECIMAL(15,2)   NOT NULL,

                             C_MKTSEGMENT  CHAR(10) NOT NULL,

                             C_COMMENT     VARCHAR(117) NOT NULL);

CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER_R ( C_CUSTKEY     INTEGER NOT NULL,

                             C_NAME        VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,

                             C_ADDRESS     VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,

                             C_NATIONKEY   INTEGER NOT NULL,

                             C_PHONE       CHAR(15) NOT NULL,

                             C_ACCTBAL     DECIMAL(15,2)   NOT NULL,

                             C_MKTSEGMENT  CHAR(10) NOT NULL,

                             C_COMMENT     VARCHAR(117) NOT NULL) organize by row

 

tableorg column in the SYSCAT.TABLES can show whether the table is column store or row store.

 

DB2 would create the synopsis table for each Column store base table. Since there is no data in the column store table, so there is no data in the synopsis table.

create 2GB test data for customer table

dbgen.exe -T c -s 40 –vf

Above command is for generating the customer table data only.

-s 40 –> means the overall db sizes is 40GB for all tables. However since the customer table is small ( about 25MB per 1GB database), therefore –s 40 would create about 1GB customer table.

Load the data to the table

Load to the column store would take longer than the row base table because the load would need to analysis the table and update the synopsis table.

 

Load the data to the column store table

  LOAD FROM "customer.tbl" OF DEL MODIFIED BY ANYORDER COLDEL| METHOD P (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) MESSAGES "/tmp/load_customer_C.log" REPLACE INTO CUSTOMER_C (C_CUSTKEY, C_NAME, C_ADDRESS, C_NATIONKEY, C_PHONE, C_ACCTBAL, C_MKTSEGMENT, C_COMMENT) STATISTICS USE PROFILE NONRECOVERABLE INDEXING MODE REBUILD SET INTEGRITY PENDING CASCADE IMMEDIATE LOCK with FORCE

Load the data to the row store table

 LOAD FROM "customer.tbl" OF DEL MODIFIED BY ANYORDER COLDEL| METHOD P (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) MESSAGES "/tmp/load_customer.log" REPLACE INTO CUSTOMER_R (C_CUSTKEY, C_NAME, C_ADDRESS, C_NATIONKEY, C_PHONE, C_ACCTBAL, C_MKTSEGMENT, C_COMMENT) STATISTICS USE PROFILE NONRECOVERABLE INDEXING MODE REBUILD SET INTEGRITY PENDING CASCADE IMMEDIATE LOCK with FORCE

Below screenshot show the analysis phase of the load to the column store table

Compare the storage between row base table and column base table

From below screenshot, we can see the column base store use less page ( 26777 ) than the row base table ( 32789)

Compare the store

select VARCHAR(tabschema, 10) SCHEMA, VARCHAR(tabname, 10) TABLE, 

               data_object_p_size DATA_SIZE, 

               index_object_p_size INDEX_SIZE,

               data_object_p_size+index_object_p_size TABLE_SIZE,

               sum(data_object_p_size+index_object_p_size) over () ROLL_SUM 

from sysibmadm.admintabinfo

where tabschema = 'DB2INST1'

Page compression ratio

SELECT VARCHAR(TABNAME,20) TABNAME, TABLEORG,CARD,

        PCTPAGESSAVED,

        1.0 / (1.0 - PCTPAGESSAVED/100.0) COMPRESS_RATIO 

        FROM SYSCAT.TABLES 

    WHERE TABNAME = 'CUSTOMER_C' 

        AND TABLEORG='C';

Encoding  ratio

SELECT VARCHAR(TABNAME,20) TABNAME,

               VARCHAR(COLNAME,20) COLNAME,

               PCTENCODED,

        CASE WHEN PCTENCODED < 30 THEN 'POOR'

             WHEN PCTENCODED BETWEEN 31 AND 60 THEN 'GOOD'

             WHEN PCTENCODED BETWEEN 61 AND 90 THEN 'V GOOD'

             WHEN PCTENCODED > 90 THEN 'EXCELLENT'

        END

        FROM SYSCAT.COLUMNS 

        WHERE TABSCHEMA='DB2INST1'

        ORDER BY TABNAME,COLNAME

 

Convert row base table to column store table

Due to the naturel of the data, the column base table does not save much space compare to the row base table. In the real world, we should get better compression rate.

 

  db2convert -d coldb -z db2inst1 -t CUSTOMER_R
