Usage
This element can help you gain insight into internal activity within the database manager of which you might not be aware. If this activity is high, you may want to evaluate your table design to determine if the referential constraints that you have defined on your database are necessary.
Internal update activity can be a result of:
  • A set null row update enforcing a referential constraint defined with the ON DELETE SET NULL rule
  • A trigger being fired.
