V$OB_MEMORY

Last Updated:2026-09-29 09:12:34

Note

The view name is changed from V$MEMORY to V$OB_MEMORY since OceanBase Database V4.0.0.

Purpose

The V$OB_MEMORY view displays the memory statistics for all tenants on the current node.

Columns

Column	Type	Nullable?	Description
TENANT_ID	bigint(20)	NO	The ID of the tenant.
SVR_IP	varchar(46)	NO	The IP address of the OBServer node.
SVR_PORT	bigint(20)	NO	The port number of the OBServer node.
CTX_NAME	varchar(256)	NO	The name of the context to which the memory belongs.
MOD_NAME	varchar(256)	NO	The name of the module to which the memory belongs.
COUNT	decimal(20,0)	NO	The difference between memory spaces that are allocated and released, which is the number of memory units used by the module.
HOLD	decimal(20,0)	NO	The size of memory currently occupied by the module.
USED	decimal(20,0)	NO	The size in bytes of memory being used by the module.

Values of the CTX_NAME column

The following table describes the common memory context names.

CTX_NAME	Description
DEFAULT_CTX_ID	The context ID of unallocated memory.
MEMSTORE_CTX_ID	The MemTable data context ID.
TRANS_CTX_MGR_ID	The transaction context ID.
PLAN_CACHE_CTX_ID	The context ID of the plan cache.
GLIBC	The memory applied for by using the Glibc Malloc API.
CO_STACK	The memory for the execution stack of threads.
KVSTORE_CACHE_ID	The ID of the auto-scaling cache.
META_OBJ_CTX_ID	The memory that stores metadata, such as metadata of macroblocks.
TX_CALLBACK_CTX_ID	The ID of the transaction callback context. This context records some modifications made during transaction execution so that the required data can be located when the transaction is committed or rolled back.
LOB_CTX_ID	The allocator ID in ObLobManager.
PS_CACHE_CTX_ID	The cache ID of the `PREPARE stmt_name FROM preparable_stmt` statement.
TX_DATA_TABLE	The transaction data table. This table stores the status of committed or rolled back transactions and is used in scenarios such as minor compaction of status information of uncommitted transactions and fast commits.
MDS_DATA_ID	The memory ID of multi-source data.
LIBEASY	The network framework memory (EASY).
LOGGER_CTX_ID	The context ID of the memory for application logs.
RPC_CTX_ID	The context ID of the memory for the RPC framework.
PKT_NIO	The network framework memory (pkt_nio).
SCHEMA_SERVICE	The memory for schema metadata, such as tables and databases.

Impact of common SQL operations on the memory context

In OceanBase Database, each SQL execution or operation corresponds to a context. The memory usage varies based on the memory context used, depending on the data volume and operation complexity. The following general SQL executions or operations may cause the increase in memory usage of some contexts.

Sorting of a large amount of data by using the ORDER BY or GROUP BY clause: A sorting operation needs to load the data to the memory for sorting. This may cause an increase in the memory usage of PLAN_CACHE_CTX_ID, MEMSTORE_CTX_ID, and DEFAULT_CTX_ID.
Aggregation of a large amount of data by using the SUM, AVG, MAX, or MIN function: An aggregation operation needs to load the data to the memory for computing. This may cause an increase in the memory usage of PLAN_CACHE_CTX_ID, MEMSTORE_CTX_ID, and DEFAULT_CTX_ID.
Join of a large amount of data by using JOIN operations: A join operation needs to load the data to the memory for matching. This may cause an increase in the memory usage of PLAN_CACHE_CTX_ID, MEMSTORE_CTX_ID, and DEFAULT_CTX_ID.
Query of a large amount of data by using the SELECT statement: A query operation needs to load the data to the memory for filtering and sorting. This may cause an increase in the memory usage of PLAN_CACHE_CTX_ID, MEMSTORE_CTX_ID, and DEFAULT_CTX_ID.
Write of a large amount of data by using the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement: A write operation requires transaction management and processing. This may cause an increase in the memory usage of TRANS_CTX_MGR_ID, MEMSTORE_CTX_ID, and DEFAULT_CTX_ID.
Logging of a large amount of data into the REDO log, UNDO log, or binlog: A logging operation needs to load the data to the memory. This may cause an increase in the memory usage of TRANS_CTX_MGR_ID, DEFAULT_CTX_ID, LOB_CTX_ID, and TX_DATA_TABLE.
