1 – node_removals_field
This field gives the total number of index entries within the root, leaf, and duplicate nodes that have been removed. This removal can be triggered by erasing rows, deleting tables, or deleting indexes. The calculation of node removals minus the sum of the root, leaf, and duplicate node removals yields the number of entries removed from mid-level nodes. A node is not deleted until all its entries are removed.
2 – _root_removals_field
This field gives the number of index entries removed from a root node due to deletion of entries within lower-level nodes. If an index consists of only one node, removals from this node are not included in this field, but are included in the "leaf removals" field.
3 – _leaf_removals_field
This field gives the number of unique index keys removed from the leaf nodes during an SQL DELETE operation.
4 – _dup__removals_field
This field gives the number of duplicate index keys removed from duplicate nodes due to the deletion of duplicate records. This should be a one-to-one correspondence to the number of erased duplicate records within the database.
5 – node_deletions_field
This field gives the total number of index nodes deleted due to an SQL DROP INDEX statement or when the nodes become empty (except for the root node, which remains even when it is empty). When an index is deleted, this number should be equal to the total number of index nodes within the index. This field minus the sum of leaf and duplicate node deletions yields the number of mid-level node deletions.
6 – _leaf_deletions_field
This field gives the number of leaf (bottom level) nodes deleted from the database's indexes. A leaf node is deleted only when it becomes empty.
7 – _dup__deletions_field
This field gives the number of duplicate node deletions within the indexes.
8 – index_destructions_field
This field gives the number of indexes deleted with an SQL DROP INDEX statement. This count will be 1 if the index is not partitioned. If an index that is partitioned over three areas is deleted, for example, then the count will be 3. This count also gives the number of root node deletions.
