The SHOW RANGE ... FOR ROW statement shows information about a range for a single row in a table or index. This information is useful for verifying how SQL data maps to underlying ranges, and where the replicas for a range are located.
Note:
This feature is in preview and subject to change. To share feedback and/or issues, contact Support.
Note:
To show information about the ranges for all data in a table, index, or database, use the SHOW RANGES statement.
Syntax
SHOW RANGE FROM TABLE <tablename> FOR ROW (value1, value2, ...)
SHOW RANGE FROM INDEX [ <tablename> @ ] <indexname> FOR ROW (value1, value2, ...)
Required privileges
The user must have the SELECT privilege on the target table.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
tablename |
The name of the table that contains the row that you want range information about. |
indexname |
The name of the index that contains the row that you want range information about. |
(value1, value2, ...) |
The values of the indexed columns of the row that you want range information about, as a tuple. In previous releases, this statement required the values of all columns of a row. |
Response
The following fields are returned:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
start_key |
The start key for the range. |
end_key |
The end key for the range. |
range_id |
The range ID. |
lease_holder |
The node that contains the range's leaseholder. |
lease_holder_locality |
The locality of the leaseholder. |
replicas |
The nodes that contain the range replicas. |
replica_localities |
The locality of the range. |

Show range information for a row in a table
To show information about a row in a table, you must know the values of the columns in the row's primary key:
