The table_lock_waits_summary_by_table table has these grouping columns to indicate how the table aggregates events: OBJECT_TYPE, OBJECT_SCHEMA, and OBJECT_NAME. These columns have the same meaning as in the events_waits_current table. They identify the table to which the row applies.

table_lock_waits_summary_by_table has the following summary columns containing aggregated values. As indicated in the column descriptions, some columns are more general and have values that are the same as the sum of the values of more fine-grained columns.

In this way, aggregations at higher levels are available directly without the need for user-defined views that sum lower-level columns.

The table_lock_waits_summary_by_table table has these indexes:

TRUNCATE TABLE is permitted for table lock summary tables. It resets the summary columns to zero rather than removing rows.
