Checking tables

The SHOW CREATE TABLE statement prints the CREATE TABLE statement of an existing user-created doc table in the cluster:

cr> show create table my_table;
+-----------------------------------------------+
| SHOW CREATE TABLE doc.my_table                |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "doc"."my_table" ( |
|    "first_column" INTEGER NOT NULL,           |
|    "second_column" TEXT,                      |
|    "third_column" TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,   |
|    "fourth_column" OBJECT(STRICT) AS (        |
|       "key" TEXT,                             |
|       "value" TEXT                            |
|    ),                                         |
|    PRIMARY KEY ("first_column")               |
| )                                             |
| CLUSTERED BY ("first_column") INTO 5 SHARDS   |
| WITH (                                        |
|    column_policy = 'strict',                  |
|    "merge.scheduler.max_thread_count" = 1,    |
|    number_of_replicas = '0-1'                 |
| )                                             |

SHOW 1 row in set (... sec)

The WITH clause always shows column_policy and number_of_replicas plus any explicitly set settings.

To see all currently effective settings you can query the settings column of tables.
