Column Update Frequency report

This report shows the update frequency of table columns, enabling you to determine whether placing an index on a column would have a negative impact.

This report summarizes activity (see Summary report) and adds column detail if the table was updated. Log Master maintains counts for each changed column and provides the total number of changed columns. You can request either narrow or wide format for the report.
