Synopsis
Required privileges
No privileges are required to list replication zones.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
zone_name |
The name of the system range for which to show replication zone configurations. |
database_name |
The name of the database for which to show replication zone configurations. |
table_name |
The name of the table for which to show replication zone configurations. |

Examples
Setup
The following examples use MovR, a fictional vehicle-sharing application, to demonstrate CockroachDB SQL statements. For more information about the MovR example application and dataset, see MovR: A Global Vehicle-sharing App.
To follow along, run cockroach demo with the --geo-partitioned-replicas flag. This command opens an interactive SQL shell to a temporary, 9-node in-memory cluster with the movr database.
$ cockroach demo --geo-partitioned-replicas

View the replication zone for a database
To control replication for a specific database, use the ALTER DATABASE ... CONFIGURE ZONE statement to define the relevant values (other values will be inherited from the parent zone):
> ALTER DATABASE movr CONFIGURE ZONE USING num_replicas = 5, gc.ttlseconds = 100000;
CONFIGURE ZONE 1
> SHOW ZONE CONFIGURATION FROM DATABASE movr;

View the replication zone for a table
To control replication for a specific table, use the ALTER TABLE ... CONFIGURE ZONE statement to define the relevant values (other values will be inherited from the parent zone):

CONFIGURE ZONE 1
> SHOW ZONE CONFIGURATION FROM TABLE users;

You can also use SHOW CREATE TABLE to view zone configurations for a table. If a table is partitioned, but no zones are configured, the SHOW CREATE TABLE output includes a warning.
View the replication zone for an index
To control replication for a specific index, use the ALTER INDEX ... CONFIGURE ZONE statement to define the relevant values (other values will be inherited from the parent zone):

View the replication zone for a partition
Tip:
Most users should not need to use partitioning directly. Instead, they should use CockroachDB's built-in multi-region capabilities, which automatically handle geo-partitioning and other low-level details.
Note:
This is an enterprise-only feature. You can use free trial credits to try it out.
Once partitions have been defined for a table or a secondary index, to control replication for a partition, use ALTER PARTITION <partition> OF INDEX <table@index> CONFIGURE ZONE:
> ALTER PARTITION us_west OF INDEX vehicles@primary
CONFIGURE ZONE USING
num_replicas = 5,
constraints = '[+region=us-west1]';
CONFIGURE ZONE 1
> ALTER PARTITION us_west OF INDEX vehicles@vehicles_auto_index_fk_city_ref_users
CONFIGURE ZONE USING
num_replicas = 5,
constraints = '[+region=us-west1]';
CONFIGURE ZONE 1
To define replication zones for identically named partitions of a table and its secondary indexes, you can use the <table>@* syntax to save several steps:
> ALTER PARTITION us_west OF INDEX vehicles@*
CONFIGURE ZONE USING
num_replicas = 5,
constraints = '[+region=us-west1]';
To view the zone configuration for a partition, use SHOW ZONE CONFIGURATION FROM PARTITION <partition> OF INDEX <table@index>:
> SHOW ZONE CONFIGURATION FROM PARTITION us_west OF INDEX vehicles@primary;
target | raw_config_sql
----------------------------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTITION us_west OF INDEX vehicles@primary | ALTER PARTITION us_west OF INDEX vehicles@primary CONFIGURE ZONE USING
| range_min_bytes = 134217728,
| range_max_bytes = 536870912,
| gc.ttlseconds = 90000,
| num_replicas = 5,
| constraints = '[+region=us-west1]',
| lease_preferences = '[]'
(1 row)
Tip:
You can also use the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement or SHOW PARTITIONS statements to view details about all of the replication zones defined for the partitions of a table and its secondary indexes.
