Contains one row for each analog, discrete, or string tag. The value of each tag in this table is updated every time a new value is received.
Note: In certain situations, data can bypass the Live table. These situations include:
- Receiving non-streamed original data (store/forward or CSV);
- Receiving revision data for a Latest value;
- Receiving no new streamed values after Historian was shut down and disabled, or
after the computer was rebooted.

Column |
Data Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
DateTime |
datetime2(7) NOT NULL |
The timestamp reflecting when the data last changed. |
|
TagName |
nvarchar(256) NOT NULL |
The unique name of the tag within the AVEVA Historian system. |
|
Value |
float NULL |
The value of the tag at date/time. This value is always NULL for string tags. |
|
vValue |
nvarchar(256) NULL |
The value of the analog, discrete, or string tag stored as a sql_variant. Using this column in a query allows you to have values with mixed datatypes as a result. |
|
Quality |
tinyint NOT NULL |
The basic data quality indicator associated with the data value. |
|
QualityDetail |
int NULL |
An internal representation of data quality. |
|
OPCQuality |
int NULL |
The quality value received from the data source. |
|
wwTagKey |
int NOT NULL |
The unique numerical identifier of a tag within a single AVEVA Historian. |
|
wwRetrievalMode |
nvarchar(16) NULL |
For queries against this table, the value of this column is ignored. |
|
wwTimeDeadband |
int NULL |
For queries against this table, the value of this column is ignored. |
|
wwValueDeadband |
float NULL |
For queries against this table, the value of this column is ignored. |
|
wwTimeZone |
nvarchar(50) NULL |
Used to specify the time zone for retrieval. By default, the retrieval subsystem converts the UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) timestamps for the stored data to the local time of the AVEVA Historian computer, including adjustments for daylight savings time. To keep the timestamps in UTC, set the value of wwTimeZone to UTC. To convert the timestamps to a client computer's time zone, set this parameter to the appropriate time zone text key from the TimeZone table. |
|
wwParameters |
nvarchar(128) NULL |
Used for additional parameters that can be specified. By default, the value of this parameter is an empty string. |
|
SourceTag |
nvarchar(256) NULL |
Returns the name of the source tag for a replicated tag at the time this point was stored. With the SourceServer, this column uniquely identifies the tag from which this replicated point is coming. |
|
SourceServer |
nvarchar(256) NULL |
Returns the name of the server from which replication occurred for this replicated tag at the time this point was stored. |
|
wwValueSelector |
nvarchar(128) NOT NULL |
Used to specify which column to return for specified analog summary tags in the four basic retrieval modes, DELTA, FULL, CYCLIC, and INTERPOLATED. The defined set of selectors are AUTO (the default in all modes if not overridden), MINIMUM or MIN, MAXIMUM or MAX, FIRST, LAST, AVERAGE or AVG, and INTEGRAL. The default AUTO setting returns the Last attribute in the Value column (which makes it accessible in the WideHistory table). You can only override the selector for the basic retrieval modes. |
|
wwExpression |
nvarchar(4000) NULL |
Used to specify an expression for unit of measure conversion, specified in the following format using tag/unit pairs: UOM(TAG1,UNIT1;TAG2,UNIT2;...) For example, the expression UOM(DistanceTag,m;TempTag,F;DurationTag,Minute)returns the values for the tag named DistanceTag measured in meters, the values for TempTag measured in degrees Farenheit, and the values for DurationTag measured in minutes. The following rules apply:
|
|
wwUnit |
nvarchar(512) NULL |
Returns the currently used unit of measure. |
