How Do I Check Whether a GaussDB(DWS) Table Is Row-Stored or Column-Stored?

The storage mode of a table is controlled by the ORIENTATION parameter in the table creation statement. row indicates row storage, and column indicates column storage.

You can use the table definition function PG_GET_TABLEDEF to check whether the created table is row-store or column-store.

For example, orientation=column indicates a column-store table.

Currently, you cannot run the ALTER TABLE statement to modify the parameter ORIENTATION.
