Refreshes virtual columns for a table. Virtual columns needs refreshing in the following scenarios:

  • After creating virtual columns for a table that already contains Variant data, it is necessary to refresh the virtual columns.
  • When modifying virtual columns for a table, refresh them after the modifications.
  • If the enable_refresh_virtual_column_after_write setting is set to 1 (default), virtual columns for a table are automatically refreshed after data updates. However, if this setting is not enabled, manual refreshing of virtual columns becomes necessary.
