This article aims to explain why the "Compute size" button is sometimes displayed and sometimes not.
Resolution
This "Compute size" button is displayed when the size of the table is not automatically computed.
Whether the size is automatically computed depends on several factors: If the table is defined in relational mode, and if database statistics are not available, the size estimation will not be available until size computation is explicitly required. In the other cases:
If no filter is applied on the table, the size will be automatically computed.
If a filter is defined, whether the size estimation will be displayed depends on the dynamic performance of the system: it is a projection depending on the time taken to display the last page. If this projection exceeds a certain threshold, then the size will not be automatically computed.
