Virtual Tables
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Virtual tables expose system-level information in the familiar CQL or Alternator interfaces.
|
|
Virtual tables are not backed by physical storage (sstables) and generate their content on-the-fly when
|
|
queried.
|
|
|
|
ScyllaDB supports:
|
|
|
|
* Virtual tables for retrieving system-level information, such as the cluster status, version-related information, etc. The range of information they can expose partially overlaps with the information you can obtain via :doc:`nodetool </operating-scylla/nodetool>` (unlike ``nodetool``, virtual tables permit remote access over CQL).
|
|
* The virtual table for querying and updating configuration over CQL (the ``system.config`` table).
|
|
|
|
See `Virtual tables in the system keyspace <https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/blob/master/docs/dev/system_keyspace.md#virtual-tables-in-the-system-keyspace>`_ for the list of available virtual tables.
