Raw Data Size definition
Raw Data Size means the uncompressed data stored in a Vertica database as if such uncompressed data had been exported from the database in text format. All logical database ies (tables) and all derived and aggregate tables are included in the Raw Data Size measurement. All data stored in external tables in the ORC or Parquet format is included in the Raw Data Size. Data stored in Flex Tables will be counted as one tenth the capacity stored in a regular table (e.g. 1TB loaded into Flex Tables will count as 100GBs towards the license capacity). The following are excluded from the Raw Data Size measurement: Multiple projections (underlying physical copies) of data from a logical database entity (table); i.e. data appearing in multiple projections of the same table is only counted once; Data stored in temporary tables; Data stored in flattened tables used for de-normalization purposes; Deleted data that remains in the database; Data stored in the Write Optimized Store (WOS); Data stored in system tables such as monitoring tables, data collector tables, query repository tables, Database Designer work tables, etc. Views; and Copies or adaptations for back-up or archival purposes or when copying or adaptation is an essential step in the authorized use of the Vertica software.
