Product: TIBCO Spotfire Server
Versions: All
Summary:
This article contains example SQL queries which provide insight into the TIBCO Spotfire library content
Details:
Over time the content in the TIBCO Spotfire library can grow as data (dxp files with data stored/embedded, sbdf files, etc) is saved to the library. The following are some sample SQL queries that can be run against the TIBCO Spotfire database to help a Spotfire administrator get visibility into the library contents, specifically highlighting the largest objects and largest folders in the library, users who are associated with the most content, and large content which has not been accessed in recent history or ever.
Also, see Searching the Library for ways to find similar content with the official Spofire library search functionality (for example: content_size:>100MB).
Note: Management of the database itself is the responsibility of the database administrator, but the Spotfire administrator can manage the content saved in the library.
Resolution:
Here are example queries that can be run against a TIBCO Spotfire database which is running on a Microsoft SQL Server. For other database types the queries may have to be modified:
