Sys.Registration

The Sys.Registration provider enables you to write a Luminesce SQL query that lists the providers currently available to you in Luminesce. Sys.Registration is the key source of data for which providers exist in your environment and how many instances of a provider exist at any point in time. You also have the option to see on which machines/pods they are running.

Note: The LUSID user running the query must have sufficient access control permissions to both use the provider and read system provider data. This should automatically be the case if you are the domain owner. 

If you are a LUSID administrator (or have Feature/Honeycomb/GlobalMetadataVisibility granted against Sys.Registration), you can query Sys.Registration with the filter ShowAll = true to show details of every provider available to your domain. All users can filter using ShowAll = false to return only the providers you may use.

Basic usage

select * from Sys.Registration where <filter-expression>;

Query parameters

Sys.Registration has parameters that enable you to filter or refine a query.

To list available parameters, their data types, default values, and an explanation for each, run the following query using a suitable tool:

select FieldName, DataType, ParamDefaultValue, Description from Sys.Field where TableName = 'Sys.Registration' and FieldType = 'Parameter';

Data fields

By default, Sys.Registration returns a table of data populated with particular fields (columns). You can return a subset of these fields.

To list fields available to return, their data types, whether fields are considered 'main', and an explanation for each, run the following query using a suitable tool:

select FieldName, DataType, IsMain, IsPrimaryKey, SampleValues, Description from Sys.Field where TableName = 'Sys.Registration' and FieldType = 'Column';

Note: Fields marked 'main' are returned by queries that include a caret character, for example select ^ from Sys.Registration.
