Metrics Table
Problem
What’s the schema for the metrics
table?
Solution
The metrics
table holds all
of the metrics recorded for your application. Its fields are listed in
Table 8-4. You can view the same metrics
from inside the Facebook Insights app (http://www.facebook.com/business/insights/app.php?id=12345).
Metrics are calculated at midnight Pacific time everyday, so you

More information about this table, including an up-to-date listing of
fields, can be found at http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Metrics_(FQL).
