INFORMATION_SCHEMA provides access to database
metadata, information about
the MySQL server such as the name of a database or table, the data
type of a column, or access privileges. Other terms that are
sometimes used for this information are
data dictionary and
system catalog.
INFORMATION_SCHEMA provides access to database
metadata, information about
the MySQL server such as the name of a database or table, the data
type of a column, or access privileges. Other terms that are
sometimes used for this information are
data dictionary and
system catalog.
INFORMATION_SCHEMA is a database within each
MySQL instance, the place that stores information about all the
other databases that the MySQL server maintains. The
INFORMATION_SCHEMA database contains several
read-only tables. They are actually views, not base tables, so
there are no files associated with them, and you cannot set
triggers on them. Also, there is no database directory with that
name.
Although you can select INFORMATION_SCHEMA as
the default database with a USE
statement, you can only read the contents of tables, not perform
INSERT,
UPDATE, or
DELETE operations on them.
Here is an example of a statement that retrieves information
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
mysql>SELECT table_name, table_type, engineFROM information_schema.tablesWHERE table_schema = 'db5'ORDER BY table_name;+------------+------------+--------+ | table_name | table_type | engine | +------------+------------+--------+ | fk | BASE TABLE | InnoDB | | fk2 | BASE TABLE | InnoDB | | goto | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | into | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | k | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | kurs | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | loop | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | pk | BASE TABLE | InnoDB | | t | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | t2 | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | t3 | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | t7 | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | tables | BASE TABLE | MyISAM | | v | VIEW | NULL | | v2 | VIEW | NULL | | v3 | VIEW | NULL | | v56 | VIEW | NULL | +------------+------------+--------+ 17 rows in set (0.01 sec)
Explanation: The statement requests a list of all the tables in
database db5, showing just three pieces of
information: the name of the table, its type, and its storage
engine.
The definition for character columns (for example,
TABLES.TABLE_NAME) is generally
VARCHAR( where N) CHARACTER SET
utf8N is at least
64. MySQL uses the default collation for this character set
(utf8_general_ci) for all searches, sorts,
comparisons, and other string operations on such columns.
Because some MySQL objects are represented as files, searches in
INFORMATION_SCHEMA string columns can be
affected by file system case sensitivity. For more information,
see Section 10.8.7, “Using Collation in INFORMATION_SCHEMA Searches”.
The SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA
statement is intended as a more consistent way to provide access
to the information provided by the various
SHOW statements that MySQL
supports (SHOW DATABASES,
SHOW TABLES, and so forth). Using
SELECT has these advantages,
compared to SHOW:
It conforms to Codd's rules, because all access is done on tables.
You can use the familiar syntax of the
SELECT statement, and only
need to learn some table and column names.
The implementor need not worry about adding keywords.
You can filter, sort, concatenate, and transform the results
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries into
whatever format your application needs, such as a data
structure or a text representation to parse.
This technique is more interoperable with other database systems. For example, Oracle Database users are familiar with querying tables in the Oracle data dictionary.
Because SHOW is familiar and
widely used, the SHOW statements
remain as an alternative. In fact, along with the implementation
of INFORMATION_SCHEMA, there are enhancements
to SHOW as described in
Section 21.34, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”.
Each MySQL user has the right to access these tables, but can
see only the rows in the tables that correspond to objects for
which the user has the proper access privileges. In some cases
(for example, the ROUTINE_DEFINITION column
in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
ROUTINES table), users who have
insufficient privileges see NULL. These
restrictions do not apply for
InnoDB tables; you can see them
with only the PROCESS privilege.
The same privileges apply to selecting information from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA and viewing the same
information through SHOW
statements. In either case, you must have some privilege on an
object to see information about it.
INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries that search for
information from more than one database might take a long time
and impact performance. To check the efficiency of a query, you
can use EXPLAIN. For information
about using EXPLAIN output to
tune INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries, see
Section 8.2.3, “Optimizing INFORMATION_SCHEMA Queries”.
The implementation for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
table structures in MySQL follows the ANSI/ISO SQL:2003 standard
Part 11 Schemata. Our intent is
approximate compliance with SQL:2003 core feature F021
Basic information schema.
Users of SQL Server 2000 (which also follows the standard) may
notice a strong similarity. However, MySQL has omitted many
columns that are not relevant for our implementation, and added
columns that are MySQL-specific. One such added column is the
ENGINE column in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
TABLES table.
Although other DBMSs use a variety of names, like
syscat or system, the
standard name is INFORMATION_SCHEMA.
To avoid using any name that is reserved in the standard or in
DB2, SQL Server, or Oracle, we changed the names of some columns
marked “MySQL extension”. (For example, we changed
COLLATION to
TABLE_COLLATION in the
TABLES table.) See the list of
reserved words near the end of this article:
https://web.archive.org/web/20070428032454/http://www.dbazine.com/db2/db2-disarticles/gulutzan5.
The following sections describe each of the tables and columns
in INFORMATION_SCHEMA. For each column, there
are three pieces of information:
“INFORMATION_SCHEMA Name”
indicates the name for the column in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA table. This
corresponds to the standard SQL name unless the
“Remarks” field says “MySQL
extension.”
“SHOW Name”
indicates the equivalent field name in the closest
SHOW statement, if there is
one.
“Remarks” provides additional information where
applicable. If this field is NULL, it
means that the value of the column is always
NULL. If this field says “MySQL
extension,” the column is a MySQL extension to
standard SQL.
Many sections indicate what SHOW
statement is equivalent to a
SELECT that retrieves information
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA. For
SHOW statements that display
information for the default database if you omit a FROM
clause, you can
often select information for the default database by adding an
db_nameAND TABLE_SCHEMA = SCHEMA() condition to the
WHERE clause of a query that retrieves
information from an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
These sections discuss additional
INFORMATION_SCHEMA-related topics:

The CHARACTER_SETS table provides
information about available character sets.
The CHARACTER_SETS table has these
columns:
CHARACTER_SET_NAME
The character set name.
DEFAULT_COLLATE_NAME
The default collation for the character set.
DESCRIPTION
A description of the character set.
MAXLEN
The maximum number of bytes required to store one character.
Character set information is also available from the
SHOW CHARACTER SET statement. See
Section 13.7.5.4, “SHOW CHARACTER SET Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHARACTER_SETS [WHERE CHARACTER_SET_NAME LIKE 'wild'] SHOW CHARACTER SET [LIKE 'wild']
The COLLATIONS table provides
information about collations for each character set.
The COLLATIONS table has these
columns:
COLLATION_NAME
The collation name.
CHARACTER_SET_NAME
The name of the character set with which the collation is associated.
ID
The collation ID.
IS_DEFAULT
Whether the collation is the default for its character set.
IS_COMPILED
Whether the character set is compiled into the server.
SORTLEN
This is related to the amount of memory required to sort strings expressed in the character set.
Collation information is also available from the
SHOW COLLATION statement. See
Section 13.7.5.5, “SHOW COLLATION Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT COLLATION_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLLATIONS [WHERE COLLATION_NAME LIKE 'wild'] SHOW COLLATION [LIKE 'wild']
The
COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY
table indicates what character set is applicable for what
collation.
The
COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY
table has these columns:
COLLATION_NAME
The collation name.
CHARACTER_SET_NAME
The name of the character set with which the collation is associated.
The
COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY
columns are equivalent to the first two columns displayed by the
SHOW COLLATION statement.
The COLUMNS table provides
information about columns in tables.
The COLUMNS table has these columns:
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table containing the
column belongs. This value is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table containing the column belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table containing the column.
COLUMN_NAME
The name of the column.
ORDINAL_POSITION
The position of the column within the table.
ORDINAL_POSITION is necessary because you
might want to say ORDER BY
ORDINAL_POSITION. Unlike SHOW
COLUMNS, SELECT from
the COLUMNS table does not have
automatic ordering.
COLUMN_DEFAULT
The default value for the column. This is
NULL if the column has an explicit default
of NULL, or if the column definition
includes no DEFAULT clause.
IS_NULLABLE
The column nullability. The value is YES if
NULL values can be stored in the column,
NO if not.
DATA_TYPE
The column data type.
The DATA_TYPE value is the type name only
with no other information. The COLUMN_TYPE
value contains the type name and possibly other information
such as the precision or length.
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH
For string columns, the maximum length in characters.
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH
For string columns, the maximum length in bytes.
NUMERIC_PRECISION
For numeric columns, the numeric precision.
NUMERIC_SCALE
For numeric columns, the numeric scale.
DATETIME_PRECISION
For temporal columns, the fractional seconds precision.
CHARACTER_SET_NAME
For character string columns, the character set name.
COLLATION_NAME
For character string columns, the collation name.
COLUMN_TYPE
The column data type.
The DATA_TYPE value is the type name only
with no other information. The COLUMN_TYPE
value contains the type name and possibly other information
such as the precision or length.
COLUMN_KEY
Whether the column is indexed:
If COLUMN_KEY is empty, the column
either is not indexed or is indexed only as a secondary
column in a multiple-column, nonunique index.
If COLUMN_KEY is
PRI, the column is a PRIMARY
KEY or is one of the columns in a
multiple-column PRIMARY KEY.
If COLUMN_KEY is
UNI, the column is the first column of
a UNIQUE index. (A
UNIQUE index permits multiple
NULL values, but you can tell whether
the column permits NULL by checking the
Null column.)
If COLUMN_KEY is
MUL, the column is the first column of
a nonunique index in which multiple occurrences of a given
value are permitted within the column.
If more than one of the COLUMN_KEY values
applies to a given column of a table,
COLUMN_KEY displays the one with the
highest priority, in the order PRI,
UNI, MUL.
A UNIQUE index may be displayed as
PRI if it cannot contain
NULL values and there is no
PRIMARY KEY in the table. A
UNIQUE index may display as
MUL if several columns form a composite
UNIQUE index; although the combination of
the columns is unique, each column can still hold multiple
occurrences of a given value.
EXTRA
Any additional information that is available about a given
column. The value is nonempty in these cases:
auto_increment for columns that have the
AUTO_INCREMENT attribute; on
update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for
TIMESTAMP or
DATETIME columns that have the
ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP attribute.
PRIVILEGES
The privileges you have for the column.
COLUMN_COMMENT
Any comment included in the column definition.
In SHOW COLUMNS, the
Type display includes values from several
different COLUMNS columns.
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH should be the same
as CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, except for
multibyte character sets.
CHARACTER_SET_NAME can be derived from
COLLATION_NAME. For example, if you say
SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM t, and you see in
the COLLATION_NAME column a value of
latin1_swedish_ci, the character set is
what is before the first underscore:
latin1.
Column information is also available from the
SHOW COLUMNS statement. See
Section 13.7.5.6, “SHOW COLUMNS Syntax”. The following statements are
nearly equivalent:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, IS_NULLABLE, COLUMN_DEFAULT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE table_name = 'tbl_name' [AND table_schema = 'db_name'] [AND column_name LIKE 'wild'] SHOW COLUMNS FROMtbl_name[FROMdb_name] [LIKE 'wild']
The COLUMN_PRIVILEGES table provides
information about column privileges. It takes its values from the
mysql.columns_priv system table.
The COLUMN_PRIVILEGES table has these
columns:
GRANTEE
The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table containing the
column belongs. This value is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table containing the column belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table containing the column.
COLUMN_NAME
The name of the column.
PRIVILEGE_TYPE
The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the column level; see Section 13.7.1.4, “GRANT Syntax”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per column privilege held by the grantee.
In the output from
SHOW FULL
COLUMNS, the privileges are all in one column and in
lowercase, for example,
select,insert,update,references. In
COLUMN_PRIVILEGES, there is one
privilege per row, in uppercase.
IS_GRANTABLE
YES if the user has the
GRANT OPTION privilege,
NO otherwise. The output does not list
GRANT OPTION as a separate row
with PRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
The COLUMN_PRIVILEGES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
The following statements are not equivalent:
SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMN_PRIVILEGES SHOW GRANTS ...
The ENGINES table provides
information about storage engines. This is particularly useful for
checking whether a storage engine is supported, or to see what the
default engine is.
The ENGINES table has these columns:
ENGINE
The name of the storage engine.
SUPPORT
The server's level of support for the storage engine, as shown in the following table.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
YES |
The engine is supported and is active |
DEFAULT |
Like YES, plus this is the default engine |
NO |
The engine is not supported |
DISABLED |
The engine is supported but has been disabled |
A value of NO means that the server was
compiled without support for the engine, so it cannot be
enabled at runtime.
A value of DISABLED occurs either because
the server was started with an option that disables the
engine, or because not all options required to enable it were
given. In the latter case, the error log should contain a
reason indicating why the option is disabled. See
Section 5.4.2, “The Error Log”.
You might also see DISABLED for a storage
engine if the server was compiled to support it, but was
started with a
--skip-
option. For the engine_nameNDB storage
engine, DISABLED means the server was
compiled with support for NDB Cluster, but was not started
with the --ndbcluster option.
All MySQL servers support MyISAM tables. It
is not possible to disable MyISAM.
COMMENT
A brief description of the storage engine.
TRANSACTIONS
Whether the storage engine supports transactions.
XA
Whether the storage engine supports XA transactions.
SAVEPOINTS
Whether the storage engine supports savepoints.
The ENGINES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
Storage engine information is also available from the
SHOW ENGINES statement. See
Section 13.7.5.17, “SHOW ENGINES Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ENGINES SHOW ENGINES
The EVENTS table provides information
about Event Manager events, which are discussed in
Section 20.4, “Using the Event Scheduler”.
The EVENTS table has these columns:
EVENT_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the event belongs. This value
is always def.
EVENT_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the event belongs.
EVENT_NAME
The name of the event.
DEFINER
The account of the user who created the event, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
TIME_ZONE
The event time zone, which is the time zone used for
scheduling the event and that is in effect within the event as
it executes. The default value is SYSTEM.
EVENT_BODY
The language used for the statements in the event's
DO clause. The value is always
SQL.
EVENT_DEFINITION
The text of the SQL statement making up the event's
DO clause; in other words, the
statement executed by this event.
EVENT_TYPE
The event repetition type, either ONE TIME
(transient) or RECURRING (repeating).
EXECUTE_AT
For a one-time event, this is the
DATETIME value specified in the
AT clause of the
CREATE EVENT statement used to
create the event, or of the last ALTER
EVENT statement that modified the event. The value
shown in this column reflects the addition or subtraction of
any INTERVAL value included in the event's
AT clause. For example, if an event is
created using ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP +
'1:6' DAY_HOUR, and the event was created at
2018-02-09 14:05:30, the value shown in this column would be
'2018-02-10 20:05:30'. If the event's
timing is determined by an EVERY clause
instead of an AT clause (that is, if the
event is recurring), the value of this column is
NULL.
INTERVAL_VALUE
For a recurring event, the number of intervals to wait between
event executions. For a transient event, the value is always
NULL.
INTERVAL_FIELD
The time units used for the interval which a recurring event
waits before repeating. For a transient event, the value is
always NULL.
SQL_MODE
The SQL mode in effect when the event was created or altered, and under which the event executes. For the permitted values, see Section 5.1.10, “Server SQL Modes”.
STARTS
The start date and time for a recurring event. This is
displayed as a DATETIME value,
and is NULL if no start date and time are
defined for the event. For a transient event, this column is
always NULL. For a recurring event whose
definition includes a STARTS clause, this
column contains the corresponding
DATETIME value. As with the
EXECUTE_AT column, this value resolves any
expressions used. If there is no STARTS
clause affecting the timing of the event, this column is
NULL
ENDS
For a recurring event whose definition includes a
ENDS clause, this column contains the
corresponding DATETIME value.
As with the EXECUTE_AT column, this value
resolves any expressions used. If there is no
ENDS clause affecting the timing of the
event, this column is NULL.
STATUS
The event status. One of ENABLED,
DISABLED, or
SLAVESIDE_DISABLED.
SLAVESIDE_DISABLED indicates that the
creation of the event occurred on another MySQL server acting
as a replication master and replicated to the current MySQL
server which is acting as a slave, but the event is not
presently being executed on the slave. For more information,
see Section 17.4.1.16, “Replication of Invoked Features”.
information.
ON_COMPLETION
One of the two values PRESERVE or
NOT PRESERVE.
CREATED
The date and time when the event was created. This is a
TIMESTAMP value.
LAST_ALTERED
The date and time when the event was last modified. This is a
TIMESTAMP value. If the event
has not been modified since its creation, this value is the
same as the CREATED value.
LAST_EXECUTED
The date and time when the event last executed. This is a
DATETIME value. If the event
has never executed, this column is NULL.
LAST_EXECUTED indicates when the event
started. As a result, the ENDS column is
never less than LAST_EXECUTED.
EVENT_COMMENT
The text of the comment, if the event has one. If not, this value is empty.
ORIGINATOR
The server ID of the MySQL server on which the event was
created; used in replication. This value may be updated by
ALTER EVENT to the server ID of
the server on which that statement occurs, if executed on a
master server. The default value is 0.
CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT
The session value of the
character_set_client system
variable when the event was created.
COLLATION_CONNECTION
The session value of the
collation_connection system
variable when the event was created.
DATABASE_COLLATION
The collation of the database with which the event is associated.
The EVENTS table is a nonstandard
INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
Times in the EVENTS table are
displayed using the event time zone, the current session time
zone, or UTC, as described in
Section 20.4.4, “Event Metadata”.
For more information about
SLAVESIDE_DISABLED and the
ORIGINATOR column, see
Section 17.4.1.16, “Replication of Invoked Features”.
Suppose that the user 'jon'@'ghidora' creates
an event named e_daily, and then modifies it a
few minutes later using an ALTER
EVENT statement, as shown here:
DELIMITER |
CREATE EVENT e_daily
ON SCHEDULE
EVERY 1 DAY
COMMENT 'Saves total number of sessions then clears the table each day'
DO
BEGIN
INSERT INTO site_activity.totals (time, total)
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, COUNT(*)
FROM site_activity.sessions;
DELETE FROM site_activity.sessions;
END |
DELIMITER ;
ALTER EVENT e_daily
ENABLE;
(Note that comments can span multiple lines.)
This user can then run the following
SELECT statement, and obtain the
output shown:
mysql>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTSWHERE EVENT_NAME = 'e_daily'AND EVENT_SCHEMA = 'myschema'\G*************************** 1. row *************************** EVENT_CATALOG: def EVENT_SCHEMA: myschema EVENT_NAME: e_daily DEFINER: jon@ghidora TIME_ZONE: SYSTEM EVENT_BODY: SQL EVENT_DEFINITION: BEGIN INSERT INTO site_activity.totals (time, total) SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, COUNT(*) FROM site_activity.sessions; DELETE FROM site_activity.sessions; END EVENT_TYPE: RECURRING EXECUTE_AT: NULL INTERVAL_VALUE: 1 INTERVAL_FIELD: DAY SQL_MODE: NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION STARTS: 2018-08-08 11:06:34 ENDS: NULL STATUS: ENABLED ON_COMPLETION: NOT PRESERVE CREATED: 2018-08-08 11:06:34 LAST_ALTERED: 2018-08-08 11:06:34 LAST_EXECUTED: 2018-08-08 16:06:34 EVENT_COMMENT: Saves total number of sessions then clears the table each day ORIGINATOR: 1 CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT: utf8 COLLATION_CONNECTION: utf8_general_ci DATABASE_COLLATION: latin1_swedish_ci
Event information is also available from the
SHOW EVENTS statement. See
Section 13.7.5.19, “SHOW EVENTS Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT
EVENT_SCHEMA, EVENT_NAME, DEFINER, TIME_ZONE, EVENT_TYPE, EXECUTE_AT,
INTERVAL_VALUE, INTERVAL_FIELD, STARTS, ENDS, STATUS, ORIGINATOR,
CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT, COLLATION_CONNECTION, DATABASE_COLLATION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS
WHERE table_schema = 'db_name'
[AND column_name LIKE 'wild']
SHOW EVENTS
[FROM db_name]
[LIKE 'wild']
The GLOBAL_STATUS
and SESSION_STATUS
tables provide information about server status variables. Their
contents correspond to the information produced by the
SHOW GLOBAL
STATUS and
SHOW SESSION
STATUS statements (see Section 13.7.5.36, “SHOW STATUS Syntax”).
The VARIABLE_VALUE column for each of these
tables is defined as VARCHAR(1024).
The
GLOBAL_VARIABLES
and
SESSION_VARIABLES
tables provide information about server status variables. Their
contents correspond to the information produced by the
SHOW GLOBAL
VARIABLES and
SHOW SESSION
VARIABLES statements (see
Section 13.7.5.40, “SHOW VARIABLES Syntax”).
The VARIABLE_VALUE column for each of these
tables is defined as VARCHAR(1024). For
variables with very long values that are not completely
displayed, use SELECT as a
workaround. For example:
SELECT @@GLOBAL.innodb_data_file_path;
The KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table describes
which key columns have constraints.
The KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table has these
columns:
CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the constraint belongs. This
value is always def.
CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the constraint belongs.
CONSTRAINT_NAME
The name of the constraint.
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table belongs. This value
is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table that has the constraint.
COLUMN_NAME
The name of the column that has the constraint.
If the constraint is a foreign key, then this is the column of the foreign key, not the column that the foreign key references.
ORDINAL_POSITION
The column's position within the constraint, not the column's position within the table. Column positions are numbered beginning with 1.
POSITION_IN_UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT
NULL for unique and primary-key
constraints. For foreign-key constraints, this column is the
ordinal position in key of the table that is being referenced.
REFERENCED_TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) referenced by the constraint.
REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME
The name of the table referenced by the constraint.
REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME
The name of the column referenced by the constraint.
Suppose that there are two tables name t1 and
t3 that have the following definitions:
CREATE TABLE t1
(
s1 INT,
s2 INT,
s3 INT,
PRIMARY KEY(s3)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE t3
(
s1 INT,
s2 INT,
s3 INT,
KEY(s1),
CONSTRAINT CO FOREIGN KEY (s2) REFERENCES t1(s3)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
For those two tables, the
KEY_COLUMN_USAGE table has two rows:
One row with CONSTRAINT_NAME =
'PRIMARY', TABLE_NAME =
't1', COLUMN_NAME =
's3', ORDINAL_POSITION =
1,
POSITION_IN_UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT =
NULL.
One row with CONSTRAINT_NAME =
'CO', TABLE_NAME =
't3', COLUMN_NAME =
's2', ORDINAL_POSITION =
1,
POSITION_IN_UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT =
1.
The OPTIMIZER_TRACE table provides
information produced by the optimizer tracing capability for
traced statements. To enable tracking, use the
optimizer_trace system variable.
For details, see
MySQL
Internals: Tracing the Optimizer.
The OPTIMIZER_TRACE table has these
columns:
QUERY
The text of the traced statement.
TRACE
The trace, in JSON format.
MISSING_BYTES_BEYOND_MAX_MEM_SIZE
Each remembered trace is a string that is extended as
optimization progresses and appends data to it. The
optimizer_trace_max_mem_size
variable sets a limit on the total amount of memory used by
all currently remembered traces. If this limit is reached, the
current trace is not extended (and thus is incomplete), and
the MISSING_BYTES_BEYOND_MAX_MEM_SIZE
column shows the number of bytes missing from the trace.
INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGES
If a traced query uses views or stored routines that have
SQL SECURITY with a value of
DEFINER, it may be that a user other than
the definer is denied from seeing the trace of the query. In
that case, the trace is shown as empty and
INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGES has a value of 1.
Otherwise, the value is 0.
The PARAMETERS table provides
information about parameters for stored routines (stored
procedures and stored functions), and about return values for
stored functions. The PARAMETERS
table does not include built-in SQL functions or user-defined
functions (UDFs). Parameter information is similar to the contents
of the param_list column in the
mysql.proc table.
The PARAMETERS table has these
columns:
SPECIFIC_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the routine containing the
parameter belongs. This value is always
def.
SPECIFIC_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the routine containing the parameter belongs.
SPECIFIC_NAME
The name of the routine containing the parameter.
ORDINAL_POSITION
For successive parameters of a stored procedure or function,
the ORDINAL_POSITION values are 1, 2, 3,
and so forth. For a stored function, there is also a row that
applies to the function return value (as described by the
RETURNS clause). The return value is not a
true parameter, so the row that describes it has these unique
characteristics:
The ORDINAL_POSITION value is 0.
The PARAMETER_NAME and
PARAMETER_MODE values are
NULL because the return value has no
name and the mode does not apply.
PARAMETER_MODE
The mode of the parameter. This value is one of
IN, OUT, or
INOUT. For a stored function return value,
this value is NULL.
PARAMETER_NAME
The name of the parameter. For a stored function return value,
this value is NULL.
DATA_TYPE
The parameter data type.
The DATA_TYPE value is the type name only
with no other information. The
DTD_IDENTIFIER value contains the type name
and possibly other information such as the precision or
length.
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH
For string parameters, the maximum length in characters.
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH
For string parameters, the maximum length in bytes.
NUMERIC_PRECISION
For numeric parameters, the numeric precision.
NUMERIC_SCALE
For numeric parameters, the numeric scale.
DATETIME_PRECISION
For temporal parameters, the fractional seconds precision.
CHARACTER_SET_NAME
For character string parameters, the character set name.
COLLATION_NAME
For character string parameters, the collation name.
DTD_IDENTIFIER
The parameter data type.
The DATA_TYPE value is the type name only
with no other information. The
DTD_IDENTIFIER value contains the type name
and possibly other information such as the precision or
length.
ROUTINE_TYPE
PROCEDURE for stored procedures,
FUNCTION for stored functions.
The PARTITIONS table provides
information about table partitions. Each row in this table
corresponds to an individual partition or subpartition of a
partitioned table. For more information about partitioning tables,
see Chapter 19, Partitioning.
The PARTITIONS table has these
columns:
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table belongs. This value
is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the database to which the table belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table containing the partition.
PARTITION_NAME
The name of the partition.
SUBPARTITION_NAME
If the PARTITIONS table row
represents a subpartition, the name of subpartition; otherwise
NULL.
PARTITION_ORDINAL_POSITION
All partitions are indexed in the same order as they are
defined, with 1 being the number assigned
to the first partition. The indexing can change as partitions
are added, dropped, and reorganized; the number shown is this
column reflects the current order, taking into account any
indexing changes.
SUBPARTITION_ORDINAL_POSITION
Subpartitions within a given partition are also indexed and reindexed in the same manner as partitions are indexed within a table.
PARTITION_METHOD
One of the values RANGE,
LIST, HASH,
LINEAR HASH, KEY, or
LINEAR KEY; that is, one of the available
partitioning types as discussed in
Section 19.2, “Partitioning Types”.
SUBPARTITION_METHOD
One of the values HASH, LINEAR
HASH, KEY, or LINEAR
KEY; that is, one of the available subpartitioning
types as discussed in
Section 19.2.6, “Subpartitioning”.
PARTITION_EXPRESSION
The expression for the partitioning function used in the
CREATE TABLE or
ALTER TABLE statement that
created the table's current partitioning scheme.
For example, consider a partitioned table created in the
test database using this statement:
CREATE TABLE tp (
c1 INT,
c2 INT,
c3 VARCHAR(25)
)
PARTITION BY HASH(c1 + c2)
PARTITIONS 4;
The PARTITION_EXPRESSION column in a
PARTITIONS table row for a
partition from this table displays c1 + c2,
as shown here:
mysql>SELECT DISTINCT PARTITION_EXPRESSIONFROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONSWHERE TABLE_NAME='tp' AND TABLE_SCHEMA='test';+----------------------+ | PARTITION_EXPRESSION | +----------------------+ | c1 + c2 | +----------------------+
SUBPARTITION_EXPRESSION
This works in the same fashion for the subpartitioning
expression that defines the subpartitioning for a table as
PARTITION_EXPRESSION does for the
partitioning expression used to define a table's partitioning.
If the table has no subpartitions, this column is
NULL.
PARTITION_DESCRIPTION
This column is used for RANGE and LIST partitions. For a
RANGE partition, it contains the value set
in the partition's VALUES LESS THAN clause,
which can be either an integer or MAXVALUE.
For a LIST partition, this column contains
the values defined in the partition's VALUES
IN clause, which is a list of comma-separated
integer values.
For partitions whose PARTITION_METHOD is
other than RANGE or
LIST, this column is always
NULL.
TABLE_ROWS
The number of table rows in the partition.
For partitioned InnoDB tables,
the row count given in the TABLE_ROWS
column is only an estimated value used in SQL optimization,
and may not always be exact.
For NDB tables, you can also
obtain this information using the ndb_desc
utility.
AVG_ROW_LENGTH
The average length of the rows stored in this partition or
subpartition, in bytes. This is the same as
DATA_LENGTH divided by
TABLE_ROWS.
For NDB tables, you can also
obtain this information using the ndb_desc
utility.
DATA_LENGTH
The total length of all rows stored in this partition or subpartition, in bytes; that is, the total number of bytes stored in the partition or subpartition.
For NDB tables, you can also
obtain this information using the ndb_desc
utility.
MAX_DATA_LENGTH
The maximum number of bytes that can be stored in this partition or subpartition.
For NDB tables, you can also
obtain this information using the ndb_desc
utility.
INDEX_LENGTH
The length of the index file for this partition or subpartition, in bytes.
For partitions of NDB tables,
whether the tables use implicit or explicit partitioning, the
INDEX_LENGTH column value is always 0.
However, you can obtain equivalent information using the
ndb_desc utility.
DATA_FREE
The number of bytes allocated to the partition or subpartition but not used.
For NDB tables, you can also
obtain this information using the ndb_desc
utility.
CREATE_TIME
The time that the partition or subpartition was created.
Prior to MySQL 5.6.25, for partitioned
InnoDB tables, this column was
always NULL. The correct creation time is
shown in MySQL 5.6.25 and later. (Bug #17299181, Bug #69990)
UPDATE_TIME
The time that the partition or subpartition was last modified.
For partitioned InnoDB tables,
the value is always NULL.
CHECK_TIME
The last time that the table to which this partition or subpartition belongs was checked.
For partitioned InnoDB tables,
this column is always NULL.
CHECKSUM
The checksum value, if any; otherwise NULL.
PARTITION_COMMENT
The text of the comment, if the partition has one. If not, this value is empty.
The maximum length for a partition comment is defined as 1024
characters, and the display width of the
PARTITION_COMMENT column is also 1024,
characters to match this limit.
NODEGROUP
This is the nodegroup to which the partition belongs. This is
relevant only to NDB Cluster tables; otherwise, the value is
always 0.
TABLESPACE_NAME
The name of the tablespace to which the partition belongs. The
value is always DEFAULT, unless the table
uses the NDB storage engine (see the
Notes at the end of this section).
The PARTITIONS table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
A table using any storage engine other than
NDB and which is not partitioned
has one row in the PARTITIONS
table. However, the values of the
PARTITION_NAME,
SUBPARTITION_NAME,
PARTITION_ORDINAL_POSITION,
SUBPARTITION_ORDINAL_POSITION,
PARTITION_METHOD,
SUBPARTITION_METHOD,
PARTITION_EXPRESSION,
SUBPARTITION_EXPRESSION, and
PARTITION_DESCRIPTION columns are all
NULL. Also, the
PARTITION_COMMENT column in this case is
blank.
An NDB table which is not explicitly
partitioned has one row in the PARTITIONS
table for each data node in the NDB cluster. For each such
row:
The SUBPARTITION_NAME,
SUBPARTITION_ORDINAL_POSITION,
SUBPARTITION_METHOD,
PARTITION_EXPRESSION,
SUBPARTITION_EXPRESSION,
CREATE_TIME,
UPDATE_TIME,
CHECK_TIME,
CHECKSUM, and
TABLESPACE_NAME columns are all
NULL.
The PARTITION_METHOD is always
KEY.
The NODEGROUP column is
default.
The PARTITION_EXPRESSION and
PARTITION_COMMENT columns are empty.
The PLUGINS table provides
information about server plugins.
The PLUGINS table has these columns:
PLUGIN_NAME
The name used to refer to the plugin in statements such as
INSTALL PLUGIN and
UNINSTALL PLUGIN.
PLUGIN_VERSION
The version from the plugin's general type descriptor.
PLUGIN_STATUS
The plugin status, one of ACTIVE,
INACTIVE, DISABLED, or
DELETED.
PLUGIN_TYPE
The type of plugin, such as STORAGE ENGINE,
INFORMATION_SCHEMA, or
AUTHENTICATION.
PLUGIN_TYPE_VERSION
The version from the plugin's type-specific descriptor.
PLUGIN_LIBRARY
The name of the plugin shared library file. This is the name
used to refer to the plugin file in statements such as
INSTALL PLUGIN and
UNINSTALL PLUGIN. This file is
located in the directory named by the
plugin_dir system variable.
If the library name is NULL, the plugin is
compiled in and cannot be uninstalled with
UNINSTALL PLUGIN.
PLUGIN_LIBRARY_VERSION
The plugin API interface version.
PLUGIN_AUTHOR
The plugin author.
PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION
A short description of the plugin.
PLUGIN_LICENSE
How the plugin is licensed (for example,
GPL).
LOAD_OPTION
How the plugin was loaded. The value is
OFF, ON,
FORCE, or
FORCE_PLUS_PERMANENT. See
Section 5.5.1, “Installing and Uninstalling Plugins”.
The PLUGINS table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
For plugins installed with INSTALL
PLUGIN, the PLUGIN_NAME and
PLUGIN_LIBRARY values are also registered
in the mysql.plugin table.
For information about plugin data structures that form the
basis of the information in the
PLUGINS table, see
Section 24.2, “The MySQL Plugin API”.
Plugin information is also available from the
SHOW PLUGINS statement. See
Section 13.7.5.26, “SHOW PLUGINS Syntax”. These statements are equivalent:
SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS, PLUGIN_TYPE, PLUGIN_LIBRARY, PLUGIN_LICENSE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS; SHOW PLUGINS;
The PROCESSLIST table provides
information about which threads are running.
The PROCESSLIST table has these
columns:
ID
The connection identifier. This is the same type of value
displayed in the Id column of the
SHOW PROCESSLIST statement, the
PROCESSLIST_ID column of the Performance
Schema threads table, and
returned by the CONNECTION_ID()
function.
USER
The MySQL user who issued the statement. A value of
system user refers to a nonclient thread
spawned by the server to handle tasks internally. This could
be the I/O or SQL thread used on replication slaves or a
delayed-row handler. For system user, there
is no host specified in the Host column.
unauthenticated user refers to a thread
that has become associated with a client connection but for
which authentication of the client user has not yet been done.
event_scheduler refers to the thread that
monitors scheduled events (see
Section 20.4, “Using the Event Scheduler”).
HOST
The host name of the client issuing the statement (except for
system user, for which there is no host).
The host name for TCP/IP connections is reported in
host_name:client_port
DB
The default database, if one is selected; otherwise
NULL.
COMMAND
The type of command the thread is executing. For descriptions
for thread commands, see Section 8.14, “Examining Thread Information”.
The value of this column corresponds to the
COM_ commands
of the client/server protocol and
xxxCom_ status
variables. See Section 5.1.9, “Server Status Variables”
xxx
TIME
The time in seconds that the thread has been in its current state. For a slave SQL thread, the value is the number of seconds between the timestamp of the last replicated event and the real time of the slave machine. See Section 17.2.1, “Replication Implementation Details”.
STATE
An action, event, or state that indicates what the thread is
doing. Descriptions for STATE values can be
found at Section 8.14, “Examining Thread Information”.
Most states correspond to very quick operations. If a thread stays in a given state for many seconds, there might be a problem that needs to be investigated.
For the SHOW PROCESSLIST
statement, the value of STATE is
NULL.
INFO
The statement the thread is executing, or
NULL if it is not executing any statement.
The statement might be the one sent to the server, or an
innermost statement if the statement executes other
statements. For example, if a CALL
statement executes a stored procedure that is executing a
SELECT statement, the
INFO value shows the
SELECT statement.
The PROCESSLIST table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
Like the output from the SHOW
PROCESSLIST statement, the
PROCESSLIST table shows
information only about your own threads, unless you have the
PROCESS privilege, in which
case you will see information about other threads, too. As an
anonymous user, you cannot see any rows at all.
If an SQL statement refers to the
PROCESSLIST table, MySQL
populates the entire table once, when statement execution
begins, so there is read consistency during the statement.
There is no read consistency for a multi-statement
transaction.
Process information is also available from the mysqladmin
processlist command, the SHOW
PROCESSLIST statement, and the Performance Schema
threads table (see
Section 4.5.2, “mysqladmin — Client for Administering a MySQL Server”, Section 13.7.5.30, “SHOW PROCESSLIST Syntax”,
and Section 22.12.10.3, “The threads Table”). In contrast to the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
PROCESSLIST table and
SHOW PROCESSLIST statement, which
have negative performance consequences because they require a
mutex, access to threads does not
require a mutex and has minimal impact on server performance. The
threads table also shows information
about background threads, which the
PROCESSLIST table and
SHOW PROCESSLIST do not. This means
that threads can be used to monitor
activity the other thread information sources cannot.
The following statements are equivalent:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST
The PROFILING table provides
statement profiling information. Its contents correspond to the
information produced by the SHOW
PROFILE and SHOW PROFILES
statements (see Section 13.7.5.31, “SHOW PROFILE Syntax”). The table is
empty unless the profiling
session variable is set to 1.
The PROFILING table has these
columns:
QUERY_ID
A numeric statement identifier.
SEQ
A sequence number indicating the display order for rows with
the same QUERY_ID value.
STATE
The profiling state to which the row measurements apply.
DURATION
How long statement execution remained in the given state, in seconds.
CPU_USER, CPU_SYSTEM
User and system CPU use, in seconds.
CONTEXT_VOLUNTARY,
CONTEXT_INVOLUNTARY
How many voluntary and involuntary context switches occurred.
BLOCK_OPS_IN,
BLOCK_OPS_OUT
The number of block input and output operations.
MESSAGES_SENT,
MESSAGES_RECEIVED
The number of communication messages sent and received.
PAGE_FAULTS_MAJOR,
PAGE_FAULTS_MINOR
The number of major and minor page faults.
SWAPS
How many swaps occurred.
SOURCE_FUNCTION,
SOURCE_FILE, and
SOURCE_LINE
Information indicating where in the source code the profiled state executes.
The PROFILING table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
Profiling information is also available from the
SHOW PROFILE and
SHOW PROFILES statements. See
Section 13.7.5.31, “SHOW PROFILE Syntax”. For example, the following queries
are equivalent:
SHOW PROFILE FOR QUERY 2; SELECT STATE, FORMAT(DURATION, 6) AS DURATION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROFILING WHERE QUERY_ID = 2 ORDER BY SEQ;
The REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS table
provides information about foreign keys.
The REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS table has
these columns:
CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the constraint belongs. This
value is always def.
CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the constraint belongs.
CONSTRAINT_NAME
The name of the constraint.
UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
The name of the catalog containing the unique constraint that
the constraint references. This value is always
def.
UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) containing the unique constraint that the constraint references.
UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME
The name of the unique constraint that the constraint references.
MATCH_OPTION
The value of the constraint MATCH
attribute. The only valid value at this time is
NONE.
UPDATE_RULE
The value of the constraint ON UPDATE
attribute. The possible values are CASCADE,
SET NULL, SET DEFAULT,
RESTRICT, NO ACTION.
DELETE_RULE
The value of the constraint ON DELETE
attribute. The possible values are CASCADE,
SET NULL, SET DEFAULT,
RESTRICT, NO ACTION.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table. This value is the same as in the
TABLE_CONSTRAINTS table.
REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME
The name of the table referenced by the constraint.
The ROUTINES table provides
information about stored routines (stored procedures and stored
functions). The ROUTINES table does
not include built-in SQL functions or user-defined functions
(UDFs).
The column named “mysql.proc Name”
indicates the mysql.proc table column that
corresponds to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
ROUTINES table column, if any.
The ROUTINES table has these columns:
SPECIFIC_NAME
The name of the routine.
ROUTINE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the routine belongs. This
value is always def.
ROUTINE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the routine belongs.
ROUTINE_NAME
The name of the routine.
ROUTINE_TYPE
PROCEDURE for stored procedures,
FUNCTION for stored functions.
DATA_TYPE
If the routine is a stored function, the return value data type. If the routine is a stored procedure, this value is empty.
The DATA_TYPE value is the type name only
with no other information. The
DTD_IDENTIFIER value contains the type name
and possibly other information such as the precision or
length.
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH
For stored function string return values, the maximum length
in characters. If the routine is a stored procedure, this
value is NULL.
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH
For stored function string return values, the maximum length
in bytes. If the routine is a stored procedure, this value is
NULL.
NUMERIC_PRECISION
For stored function numeric return values, the numeric
precision. If the routine is a stored procedure, this value is
NULL.
NUMERIC_SCALE
For stored function numeric return values, the numeric scale.
If the routine is a stored procedure, this value is
NULL.
DATETIME_PRECISION
For stored function temporal return values, the fractional
seconds precision. If the routine is a stored procedure, this
value is NULL.
CHARACTER_SET_NAME
For stored function character string return values, the
character set name. If the routine is a stored procedure, this
value is NULL.
COLLATION_NAME
For stored function character string return values, the
collation name. If the routine is a stored procedure, this
value is NULL.
DTD_IDENTIFIER
If the routine is a stored function, the return value data type. If the routine is a stored procedure, this value is empty.
The DATA_TYPE value is the type name only
with no other information. The
DTD_IDENTIFIER value contains the type name
and possibly other information such as the precision or
length.
ROUTINE_BODY
The language used for the routine definition. This value is
always SQL.
ROUTINE_DEFINITION
The text of the SQL statement executed by the routine.
EXTERNAL_NAME
This value is always NULL.
EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE
The language of the stored routine. MySQL calculates
EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE thus:
If mysql.proc.language='SQL',
EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE is
NULL
Otherwise, EXTERNAL_LANGUAGE is what is
in mysql.proc.language. However, we do
not have external languages yet, so it is always
NULL.
PARAMETER_STYLE
This value is always SQL.
IS_DETERMINISTIC
YES or NO, depending on
whether the routine is defined with the
DETERMINISTIC characteristic.
SQL_DATA_ACCESS
The data access characteristic for the routine. The value is
one of CONTAINS SQL, NO
SQL, READS SQL DATA, or
MODIFIES SQL DATA.
SQL_PATH
This value is always NULL.
SECURITY_TYPE
The routine SQL SECURITY characteristic.
The value is one of DEFINER or
INVOKER.
CREATED
The date and time when the routine was created. This is a
TIMESTAMP value.
LAST_ALTERED
The date and time when the routine was last modified. This is
a TIMESTAMP value. If the
routine has not been modified since its creation, this value
is the same as the CREATED value.
SQL_MODE
The SQL mode in effect when the routine was created or altered, and under which the routine executes. For the permitted values, see Section 5.1.10, “Server SQL Modes”.
ROUTINE_COMMENT
The text of the comment, if the routine has one. If not, this value is empty.
DEFINER
The account of the user who created the routine, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT
The session value of the
character_set_client system
variable when the routine was created.
COLLATION_CONNECTION
The session value of the
collation_connection system
variable when the routine was created.
DATABASE_COLLATION
The collation of the database with which the routine is associated.
Information about stored function return values is also
available in the PARAMETERS
table. The return value row for a stored function can be
identified as the row that has an
ORDINAL_POSITION value of 0.
A schema is a database, so the
SCHEMATA table provides information
about databases.
The SCHEMATA table has these columns:
CATALOG_NAME
The name of the catalog to which the schema belongs. This
value is always def.
SCHEMA_NAME
The name of the schema.
DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME
The schema default character set.
DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME
The schema default collation.
SQL_PATH
This value is always NULL.
Schema names are also available from the SHOW
DATABASES statement. See
Section 13.7.5.15, “SHOW DATABASES Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME AS `Database` FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA [WHERE SCHEMA_NAME LIKE 'wild'] SHOW DATABASES [LIKE 'wild']
You see only those databases for which you have some kind of
privilege, unless you have the global SHOW
DATABASES privilege.
Because a global privilege is considered a privilege for all
databases, any global privilege enables a
user to see all database names with SHOW
DATABASES or by examining the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
SCHEMATA table.
The SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES table provides
information about schema (database) privileges. It takes its
values from the mysql.db system table.
The SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES table has these
columns:
GRANTEE
The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the schema belongs. This
value is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema.
PRIVILEGE_TYPE
The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the schema level; see Section 13.7.1.4, “GRANT Syntax”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per schema privilege held by the grantee.
IS_GRANTABLE
YES if the user has the
GRANT OPTION privilege,
NO otherwise. The output does not list
GRANT OPTION as a separate row
with PRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
The SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
The following statements are not equivalent:
SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES SHOW GRANTS ...
The STATISTICS table provides
information about table indexes.
The STATISTICS table has these
columns:
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table containing the
index belongs. This value is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table containing the index belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table containing the index.
NON_UNIQUE
0 if the index cannot contain duplicates, 1 if it can.
INDEX_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the index belongs.
INDEX_NAME
The name of the index. If the index is the primary key, the
name is always PRIMARY.
SEQ_IN_INDEX
The column sequence number in the index, starting with 1.
COLUMN_NAME
The column name. See also the description for the
EXPRESSION column.
COLLATION
How the column is sorted in the index. This can have values
A (ascending), D
(descending), or NULL (not sorted).
CARDINALITY
An estimate of the number of unique values in the index. To
update this number, run ANALYZE
TABLE or (for MyISAM tables)
myisamchk -a.
CARDINALITY is counted based on statistics
stored as integers, so the value is not necessarily exact even
for small tables. The higher the cardinality, the greater the
chance that MySQL uses the index when doing joins.
SUB_PART
The index prefix. That is, the number of indexed characters if
the column is only partly indexed, NULL if
the entire column is indexed.
Prefix limits are measured in bytes.
However, prefix lengths for index
specifications in CREATE
TABLE, ALTER TABLE,
and CREATE INDEX statements
are interpreted as number of characters for nonbinary string
types (CHAR,
VARCHAR,
TEXT) and number of bytes for
binary string types (BINARY,
VARBINARY,
BLOB). Take this into account
when specifying a prefix length for a nonbinary string
column that uses a multibyte character set.
For additional information about index prefixes, see Section 8.3.4, “Column Indexes”, and Section 13.1.13, “CREATE INDEX Syntax”.
PACKED
Indicates how the key is packed. NULL if it
is not.
NULLABLE
Contains YES if the column may contain
NULL values and '' if
not.
INDEX_TYPE
The index method used (BTREE,
FULLTEXT, HASH,
RTREE).
COMMENT
Information about the index not described in its own column,
such as disabled if the index is disabled.
INDEX_COMMENT
Any comment provided for the index with a
COMMENT attribute when the index was
created.
There is no standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA
table for indexes. The MySQL column list is similar to what
SQL Server 2000 returns for sp_statistics,
except that QUALIFIER and
OWNER are replaced with
CATALOG and SCHEMA,
respectively.
Information about table indexes is also available from the
SHOW INDEX statement. See
Section 13.7.5.23, “SHOW INDEX Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS WHERE table_name = 'tbl_name' AND table_schema = 'db_name' SHOW INDEX FROMtbl_nameFROMdb_name
The TABLES table provides information
about tables in databases.
The TABLES table has these columns:
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table belongs. This value
is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table.
TABLE_TYPE
BASE TABLE for a table,
VIEW for a view, or SYSTEM
VIEW for an INFORMATION_SCHEMA
table.
The TABLES table does not list
TEMPORARY tables.
ENGINE
The storage engine for the table. See Chapter 14, The InnoDB Storage Engine, and Chapter 15, Alternative Storage Engines.
For partitioned tables, ENGINE shows the
name of the storage engine used by all partitions.
VERSION
The version number of the table's .frm
file.
ROW_FORMAT
The row-storage format (Fixed,
Dynamic, Compressed,
Redundant, Compact). For
MyISAM tables, Dynamic
corresponds to what myisamchk -dvv reports
as Packed. InnoDB table
format is either Redundant or
Compact when using the
Antelope file format, or
Compressed or Dynamic
when using the Barracuda file format.
TABLE_ROWS
The number of rows. Some storage engines, such as
MyISAM, store the exact count. For other
storage engines, such as InnoDB, this value
is an approximation, and may vary from the actual value by as
much as 40% to 50%. In such cases, use SELECT
COUNT(*) to obtain an accurate count.
TABLE_ROWS is NULL for
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables.
For InnoDB tables, the row count
is only a rough estimate used in SQL optimization. (This is
also true if the InnoDB table is
partitioned.)
AVG_ROW_LENGTH
The average row length.
Refer to the notes at the end of this section for related information.
DATA_LENGTH
For MyISAM, DATA_LENGTH
is the length of the data file, in bytes.
For InnoDB, DATA_LENGTH
is the approximate amount of memory allocated for the
clustered index, in bytes. Specifically, it is the clustered
index size, in pages, multiplied by the
InnoDB page size.
Refer to the notes at the end of this section for information regarding other storage engines.
MAX_DATA_LENGTH
For MyISAM,
MAX_DATA_LENGTH is maximum length of the
data file. This is the total number of bytes of data that can
be stored in the table, given the data pointer size used.
Unused for InnoDB.
Refer to the notes at the end of this section for information regarding other storage engines.
INDEX_LENGTH
For MyISAM, INDEX_LENGTH
is the length of the index file, in bytes.
For InnoDB, INDEX_LENGTH
is the approximate amount of memory allocated for
non-clustered indexes, in bytes. Specifically, it is the sum
of non-clustered index sizes, in pages, multiplied by the
InnoDB page size.
Refer to the notes at the end of this section for information regarding other storage engines.
DATA_FREE
The number of allocated but unused bytes.
InnoDB tables report the free space of the
tablespace to which the table belongs. For a table located in
the shared tablespace, this is the free space of the shared
tablespace. If you are using multiple tablespaces and the
table has its own tablespace, the free space is for only that
table. Free space means the number of bytes in completely free
extents minus a safety margin. Even if free space displays as
0, it may be possible to insert rows as long as new extents
need not be allocated.
For NDB Cluster, DATA_FREE shows the space
allocated on disk for, but not used by, a Disk Data table or
fragment on disk. (In-memory data resource usage is reported
by the DATA_LENGTH column.)
For partitioned tables, this value is only an estimate and may
not be absolutely correct. A more accurate method of obtaining
this information in such cases is to query the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
PARTITIONS table, as shown in
this example:
SELECT SUM(DATA_FREE)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'mydb'
AND TABLE_NAME = 'mytable';
For more information, see Section 21.14, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA PARTITIONS Table”.
AUTO_INCREMENT
The next AUTO_INCREMENT value.
CREATE_TIME
When the table was created.
Prior to MySQL 5.6.25, for partitioned
InnoDB tables, the
CREATE_TIME column shows
NULL. This column shows the correct table
creation time for such tables in MySQL 5.6.25 and later. (Bug
#17299181, Bug #69990)
UPDATE_TIME
When the data file was last updated. For some storage engines,
this value is NULL. For example,
InnoDB stores multiple tables in its
system
tablespace and the data file timestamp does not apply.
Even with
file-per-table mode
with each InnoDB table in a separate
.ibd file,
change buffering
can delay the write to the data file, so the file modification
time is different from the time of the last insert, update, or
delete. For MyISAM, the data file timestamp
is used; however, on Windows the timestamp is not updated by
updates, so the value is inaccurate.
For partitioned InnoDB tables,
UPDATE_TIME is always
NULL.
CHECK_TIME
When the table was last checked. Not all storage engines
update this time, in which case, the value is always
NULL.
For partitioned InnoDB tables,
CHECK_TIME is always
NULL.
TABLE_COLLATION
The table default collation. The output does not explicitly list the table default character set, but the collation name begins with the character set name.
CHECKSUM
The live checksum value, if any.
CREATE_OPTIONS
Extra options used with CREATE
TABLE. The original options from when
CREATE TABLE was executed are
retained and the options reported here may differ from the
active table settings and options.
CREATE_OPTIONS shows
partitioned if the table is partitioned.
TABLE_COMMENT
The comment used when creating the table (or information as to why MySQL could not access the table information).
For NDB tables, the output of
this statement shows appropriate values for the
AVG_ROW_LENGTH and
DATA_LENGTH columns, with the exception
that BLOB columns are not taken
into account.
For NDB tables,
DATA_LENGTH includes data stored in main
memory only; the MAX_DATA_LENGTH and
DATA_FREE columns apply to Disk Data.
For NDB Cluster Disk Data tables,
MAX_DATA_LENGTH shows the space allocated
for the disk part of a Disk Data table or fragment. (In-memory
data resource usage is reported by the
DATA_LENGTH column.)
For MEMORY tables, the
DATA_LENGTH,
MAX_DATA_LENGTH, and
INDEX_LENGTH values approximate the actual
amount of allocated memory. The allocation algorithm reserves
memory in large amounts to reduce the number of allocation
operations.
For views, all TABLES columns are
NULL except that
TABLE_NAME indicates the view name and
TABLE_COMMENT says VIEW.
Table information is also available from the
SHOW TABLE STATUS and
SHOW TABLES statements. See
Section 13.7.5.37, “SHOW TABLE STATUS Syntax”, and
Section 13.7.5.38, “SHOW TABLES Syntax”. The following statements are
equivalent:
SELECT
TABLE_NAME, ENGINE, VERSION, ROW_FORMAT, TABLE_ROWS, AVG_ROW_LENGTH,
DATA_LENGTH, MAX_DATA_LENGTH, INDEX_LENGTH, DATA_FREE, AUTO_INCREMENT,
CREATE_TIME, UPDATE_TIME, CHECK_TIME, TABLE_COLLATION, CHECKSUM,
CREATE_OPTIONS, TABLE_COMMENT
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE table_schema = 'db_name'
[AND table_name LIKE 'wild']
SHOW TABLE STATUS
FROM db_name
[LIKE 'wild']
The following statements are equivalent:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, TABLE_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE table_schema = 'db_name' [AND table_name LIKE 'wild'] SHOW FULL TABLES FROMdb_name[LIKE 'wild']
The TABLESPACES table provides
information about active MySQL Cluster tablespaces.
The TABLESPACES table has these
columns:
TABLESPACE_NAME
The name of the tablespace.
ENGINE
The name of the storage engine that uses the tablespace.
TABLESPACE_TYPE
The tablespace type.
LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME
The name of the logfile group assigned to the tablespace.
EXTENT_SIZE
The size in bytes of the extents used by files that belong to the tablespace.
AUTOEXTEND_SIZE
Unused.
MAXIMUM_SIZE
Unused.
NODEGROUP_ID
Unused.
TABLESPACE_COMMENT
Unused.
The TABLESPACES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
The TABLESPACES table does not provide
information about InnoDB tablespaces. For
InnoDB tablespace metadata, see the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES and
INNODB_SYS_DATAFILES tables.
The TABLE_CONSTRAINTS table describes
which tables have constraints.
The TABLE_CONSTRAINTS table has these
columns:
CONSTRAINT_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the constraint belongs. This
value is always def.
CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the constraint belongs.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table.
The CONSTRAINT_TYPE
The type of constraint. The value can be
UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY,
FOREIGN KEY, or CHECK.
This is a CHAR (not
ENUM) column. The
CHECK value is not available until MySQL
supports CHECK.
The UNIQUE and PRIMARY
KEY information is about the same as what you get
from the Key_name column in the output from
SHOW INDEX when the
Non_unique column is 0.
The TABLE_PRIVILEGES table provides
information about table privileges. It takes its values from the
mysql.tables_priv system table.
The TABLE_PRIVILEGES table has these
columns:
GRANTEE
The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table belongs. This value
is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table.
PRIVILEGE_TYPE
The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the table level; see Section 13.7.1.4, “GRANT Syntax”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per table privilege held by the grantee.
IS_GRANTABLE
YES if the user has the
GRANT OPTION privilege,
NO otherwise. The output does not list
GRANT OPTION as a separate row
with PRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
The TABLE_PRIVILEGES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
The following statements are not equivalent:
SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_PRIVILEGES SHOW GRANTS ...
The TRIGGERS table provides
information about triggers. To see information about a table's
triggers, you must have the TRIGGER
privilege for the table.
The TRIGGERS table has these columns:
TRIGGER_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the trigger belongs. This
value is always def.
TRIGGER_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the trigger belongs.
TRIGGER_NAME
The name of the trigger.
EVENT_MANIPULATION
The trigger event. This is the type of operation on the
associated table for which the trigger activates. The value is
INSERT (a row was inserted),
DELETE (a row was deleted), or
UPDATE (a row was modified).
EVENT_OBJECT_CATALOG,
EVENT_OBJECT_SCHEMA, and
EVENT_OBJECT_TABLE
As noted in Section 20.3, “Using Triggers”, every trigger is
associated with exactly one table. These columns indicate the
catalog and schema (database) in which this table occurs, and
the table name, respectively. The
EVENT_OBJECT_CATALOG value is always
def.
ACTION_ORDER
The ordinal position of the trigger's action within the list
of all similar triggers on the same table. This value is
always 0 because it is not possible to have
more than one trigger with the same
EVENT_MANIPULATION and
ACTION_TIMING on the same table.
ACTION_CONDITION
This value is always NULL.
ACTION_STATEMENT
The trigger body; that is, the statement executed when the trigger activates. This text uses UTF-8 encoding.
ACTION_ORIENTATION
This value is always ROW.
ACTION_TIMING
Whether the trigger activates before or after the triggering
event. The value is BEFORE or
AFTER.
ACTION_REFERENCE_OLD_TABLE
This value is always NULL.
ACTION_REFERENCE_NEW_TABLE
This value is always NULL.
ACTION_REFERENCE_OLD_ROW and
ACTION_REFERENCE_NEW_ROW
The old and new column identifiers, respectively. The
ACTION_REFERENCE_OLD_ROW value is always
OLD and the
ACTION_REFERENCE_NEW_ROW value is always
NEW.
CREATED
This value is always NULL.
SQL_MODE
The SQL mode in effect when the trigger was created, and under which the trigger executes. For the permitted values, see Section 5.1.10, “Server SQL Modes”.
DEFINER
The account of the user who created the trigger, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT
The session value of the
character_set_client system
variable when the trigger was created.
COLLATION_CONNECTION
The session value of the
collation_connection system
variable when the trigger was created.
DATABASE_COLLATION
The collation of the database with which the trigger is associated.
The following example uses the ins_sum trigger
defined in Section 20.3, “Using Triggers”:
mysql>SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TRIGGERSWHERE TRIGGER_SCHEMA='test' AND TRIGGER_NAME='ins_sum'\G*************************** 1. row *************************** TRIGGER_CATALOG: def TRIGGER_SCHEMA: test TRIGGER_NAME: ins_sum EVENT_MANIPULATION: INSERT EVENT_OBJECT_CATALOG: def EVENT_OBJECT_SCHEMA: test EVENT_OBJECT_TABLE: account ACTION_ORDER: 0 ACTION_CONDITION: NULL ACTION_STATEMENT: SET @sum = @sum + NEW.amount ACTION_ORIENTATION: ROW ACTION_TIMING: BEFORE ACTION_REFERENCE_OLD_TABLE: NULL ACTION_REFERENCE_NEW_TABLE: NULL ACTION_REFERENCE_OLD_ROW: OLD ACTION_REFERENCE_NEW_ROW: NEW CREATED: NULL SQL_MODE: NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION DEFINER: me@localhost CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT: utf8 COLLATION_CONNECTION: utf8_general_ci DATABASE_COLLATION: latin1_swedish_ci
Trigger information is also available from the
SHOW TRIGGERS statement. See
Section 13.7.5.39, “SHOW TRIGGERS Syntax”.
The USER_PRIVILEGES table provides
information about global privileges. It takes its values from the
mysql.user system table.
The USER_PRIVILEGES table has these
columns:
GRANTEE
The name of the account to which the privilege is granted, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog. This value is always
def.
PRIVILEGE_TYPE
The privilege granted. The value can be any privilege that can be granted at the global level; see Section 13.7.1.4, “GRANT Syntax”. Each row lists a single privilege, so there is one row per global privilege held by the grantee.
IS_GRANTABLE
YES if the user has the
GRANT OPTION privilege,
NO otherwise. The output does not list
GRANT OPTION as a separate row
with PRIVILEGE_TYPE='GRANT OPTION'.
The USER_PRIVILEGES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
The following statements are not equivalent:
SELECT ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.USER_PRIVILEGES SHOW GRANTS ...
The VIEWS table provides information
about views in databases. You must have the
SHOW VIEW privilege to access this
table.
The VIEWS table has these columns:
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the view belongs. This value
is always def.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the view belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the view.
VIEW_DEFINITION
The SELECT statement that
provides the definition of the view. This column has most of
what you see in the Create Table column
that SHOW CREATE VIEW produces.
Skip the words before SELECT
and skip the words WITH CHECK OPTION.
Suppose that the original statement was:
CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT s2,s1 FROM t WHERE s1 > 5 ORDER BY s1 WITH CHECK OPTION;
Then the view definition looks like this:
SELECT s2,s1 FROM t WHERE s1 > 5 ORDER BY s1
CHECK_OPTION
The value of the CHECK_OPTION attribute.
The value is one of NONE,
CASCADE, or LOCAL.
IS_UPDATABLE
MySQL sets a flag, called the view updatability flag, at
CREATE VIEW time. The flag is
set to YES (true) if
UPDATE and
DELETE (and similar operations)
are legal for the view. Otherwise, the flag is set to
NO (false). The
IS_UPDATABLE column in the
VIEWS table displays the status
of this flag. It means that the server always knows whether a
view is updatable.
If a view is not updatable, statements such
UPDATE,
DELETE, and
INSERT are illegal and are
rejected. (Even if a view is updatable, it might not be
possible to insert into it; for details, refer to
Section 20.5.3, “Updatable and Insertable Views”.)
DEFINER
The account of the user who created the view, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
SECURITY_TYPE
The view SQL SECURITY characteristic. The
value is one of DEFINER or
INVOKER.
CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT
The session value of the
character_set_client system
variable when the view was created.
COLLATION_CONNECTION
The session value of the
collation_connection system
variable when the view was created.
MySQL permits different sql_mode
settings to tell the server the type of SQL syntax to support. For
example, you might use the ANSI
SQL mode to ensure MySQL correctly interprets the standard SQL
concatenation operator, the double bar (||), in
your queries. If you then create a view that concatenates items,
you might worry that changing the
sql_mode setting to a value
different from ANSI could cause
the view to become invalid. But this is not the case. No matter
how you write out a view definition, MySQL always stores it the
same way, in a canonical form. Here is an example that shows how
the server changes a double bar concatenation operator to a
CONCAT() function:
mysql>SET sql_mode = 'ANSI';Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>CREATE VIEW test.v AS SELECT 'a' || 'b' as col1;Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>SELECT VIEW_DEFINITION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWSWHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'test' AND TABLE_NAME = 'v';+----------------------------------+ | VIEW_DEFINITION | +----------------------------------+ | select concat('a','b') AS `col1` | +----------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The advantage of storing a view definition in canonical form is
that changes made later to the value of
sql_mode do not affect the
results from the view. However, an additional consequence is that
comments prior to SELECT are
stripped from the definition by the server.
This section provides table definitions for
InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA
tables. For related information and examples, see
Section 14.15, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Tables”.
InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA
tables can be used to monitor ongoing InnoDB
activity, to detect inefficiencies before they turn into issues, or
to troubleshoot performance and capacity issues. As your database
becomes bigger and busier, running up against the limits of your
hardware capacity, you monitor and tune these aspects to keep the
database running smoothly.
The INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE table provides
information about each page in
the InnoDB
buffer pool.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.5, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Buffer Pool Tables”.
Querying the INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE
table can affect performance. Do not query this table on a
production system unless you are aware of the performance impact
and have determined it to be acceptable. To avoid impacting
performance on a production system, reproduce the issue you want
to investigate and query buffer pool statistics on a test
instance.
The INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE table has
these columns:
POOL_ID
The buffer pool ID. This is an identifier to distinguish between multiple buffer pool instances.

This table is useful primarily for expert-level performance monitoring, or when developing performance-related extensions for MySQL.
You must have the PROCESS
privilege to query this table.
Use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
COLUMNS table or the
SHOW COLUMNS statement to view
additional information about the columns of this table,
including data types and default values.
When tables, table rows, partitions, or indexes are deleted,
associated pages remain in the buffer pool until space is
required for other data. The
INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE table reports
information about these pages until they are evicted from the
buffer pool. For more information about how the
InnoDB manages buffer pool data, see
Section 14.5.1, “Buffer Pool”.
The INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU table
provides information about the pages in the
InnoDB buffer
pool; in particular, how they are ordered in the LRU list
that determines which pages to
evict from the buffer pool
when it becomes full.
The INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU table has
the same columns as the
INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE table, except that
the INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU table has
LRU_POSITION and COMPRESSED
columns instead of BLOCK_ID and
PAGE_STATE columns.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.5, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Buffer Pool Tables”.

This table is useful primarily for expert-level performance monitoring, or when developing performance-related extensions for MySQL.
You must have the PROCESS
privilege to query this table.
Use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
COLUMNS table or the
SHOW COLUMNS statement to view
additional information about the columns of this table,
including data types and default values.
Querying this table can require MySQL to allocate a large block of contiguous memory, more than 64 bytes times the number of active pages in the buffer pool. This allocation could potentially cause an out-of-memory error, especially for systems with multi-gigabyte buffer pools.
Querying this table requires MySQL to lock the data structure representing the buffer pool while traversing the LRU list, which can reduce concurrency, especially for systems with multi-gigabyte buffer pools.
When tables, table rows, partitions, or indexes are deleted,
associated pages remain in the buffer pool until space is
required for other data. The
INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU table
reports information about these pages until they are evicted
from the buffer pool. For more information about how the
InnoDB manages buffer pool data, see
Section 14.5.1, “Buffer Pool”.
The INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_STATS table
provides much of the same buffer pool information provided in
SHOW ENGINE INNODB
STATUS output. Much of the same information may also be
obtained using InnoDB buffer pool
server status
variables.
The idea of making pages in the buffer pool “young” or “not young” refers to transferring them between the sublists at the head and tail of the buffer pool data structure. Pages made “young” take longer to age out of the buffer pool, while pages made “not young” are moved much closer to the point of eviction.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.5, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Buffer Pool Tables”.
The INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_STATS table
has these columns:
POOL_ID
The buffer pool ID. This is an identifier to distinguish between multiple buffer pool instances.
POOL_SIZE
The InnoDB buffer pool size in pages.
FREE_BUFFERS
The number of free pages in the InnoDB
buffer pool.
DATABASE_PAGES
The number of pages in the InnoDB buffer
pool containing data. This number includes both dirty and
clean pages.
OLD_DATABASE_PAGES
The number of pages in the old buffer pool
sublist.
MODIFIED_DATABASE_PAGES
The number of modified (dirty) database pages.
PENDING_DECOMPRESS
The number of pages pending decompression.
PENDING_READS
The number of pending reads.
PENDING_FLUSH_LRU
The number of pages pending flush in the LRU.

The INNODB_CMP and
INNODB_CMP_RESET
tables provide status information on operations related to
compressed
InnoDB tables.
The INNODB_CMP and
INNODB_CMP_RESET
tables have these columns:
PAGE_SIZE
The compressed page size in bytes.
COMPRESS_OPS
The number of times a B-tree page of size
PAGE_SIZE has been compressed. Pages are
compressed whenever an empty page is created or the space for
the uncompressed modification log runs out.
COMPRESS_OPS_OK
The number of times a B-tree page of size
PAGE_SIZE has been successfully compressed.
This count should never exceed
COMPRESS_OPS.
COMPRESS_TIME
The total time in seconds used for attempts to compress B-tree
pages of size PAGE_SIZE.
UNCOMPRESS_OPS
The number of times a B-tree page of size
PAGE_SIZE has been uncompressed. B-tree
pages are uncompressed whenever compression fails or at first
access when the uncompressed page does not exist in the buffer
pool.
UNCOMPRESS_TIME
The total time in seconds used for uncompressing B-tree pages
of the size PAGE_SIZE.

The INNODB_CMPMEM and
INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET
tables provide status information on compressed
pages within the
InnoDB buffer
pool.
The INNODB_CMPMEM and
INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET
tables have these columns:
PAGE_SIZE
The block size in bytes. Each record of this table describes blocks of this size.
BUFFER_POOL_INSTANCE
A unique identifier for the buffer pool instance.
PAGES_USED
The number of blocks of size PAGE_SIZE that
are currently in use.
PAGES_FREE
The number of blocks of size PAGE_SIZE that
are currently available for allocation. This column shows the
external fragmentation in the memory pool. Ideally, these
numbers should be at most 1.
RELOCATION_OPS
The number of times a block of size
PAGE_SIZE has been relocated. The buddy
system can relocate the allocated “buddy
neighbor” of a freed block when it tries to form a
bigger freed block. Reading from the
INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET
table resets this count.

compression, see Section 14.9, “InnoDB Table Compression”.
The INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX and
INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX_RESET
tables provide status information on operations related to
compressed
InnoDB tables and indexes, with separate
statistics for each combination of database, table, and index, to
help you evaluate the performance and usefulness of compression
for specific tables.
For a compressed InnoDB table, both the table
data and all the secondary
indexes are compressed. In this context, the table data is
treated as just another index, one that happens to contain all the
columns: the clustered
index.
The INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX and
INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX_RESET
tables have these columns:
DATABASE_NAME
The schema (database) containing the applicable table.
TABLE_NAME
The table to monitor for compression statistics.
INDEX_NAME
The index to monitor for compression statistics.
COMPRESS_OPS
The number of compression operations attempted. Pages are compressed whenever an empty page is created or the space for the uncompressed modification log runs out.
COMPRESS_OPS_OK
The number of successful compression operations. Subtract from
the COMPRESS_OPS value to get the number of
compression
failures. Divide by the COMPRESS_OPS
value to get the percentage of compression failures.
COMPRESS_TIME
The total time in seconds used for compressing data in this index.
UNCOMPRESS_OPS
The number of uncompression operations performed. Compressed
InnoDB pages are uncompressed whenever
compression
fails, or the
first time a compressed page is accessed in the
buffer pool and the
uncompressed page does not exist.
UNCOMPRESS_TIME
The total time in seconds used for uncompressing data in this index.

compression, see Section 14.9, “InnoDB Table Compression”.
The INNODB_FT_BEING_DELETED table
provides a snapshot of the
INNODB_FT_DELETED table; it is used
only during an OPTIMIZE TABLE
maintenance operation. When OPTIMIZE
TABLE is run, the
INNODB_FT_BEING_DELETED table is
emptied, and DOC_ID values are removed from the
INNODB_FT_DELETED table. Because the
contents of INNODB_FT_BEING_DELETED
typically have a short lifetime, this table has limited utility
for monitoring or debugging. For information about running
OPTIMIZE TABLE on tables with
FULLTEXT indexes, see
Section 12.9.6, “Fine-Tuning MySQL Full-Text Search”.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the value
of the innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the table
that contains the FULLTEXT index; for example
test/articles. The output appears similar to
the example provided for the
INNODB_FT_DELETED table.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.4, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA FULLTEXT Index Tables”.
The INNODB_FT_BEING_DELETED table has
these columns:
DOC_ID
The document ID of the row that is in the process of being
deleted. This value might reflect the value of an ID column
that you defined for the underlying table, or it can be a
sequence value generated by InnoDB when the
table contains no suitable column. This value is used when you
do text searches, to skip rows in the
INNODB_FT_INDEX_TABLE table
before data for deleted rows is physically removed from the
FULLTEXT index by an
OPTIMIZE TABLE statement. For
more information, see Optimizing InnoDB Full-Text Indexes.
You must have the PROCESS
privilege to query this table.

For more information about InnoDB
FULLTEXT search, see
Section 14.6.2.3, “InnoDB FULLTEXT Indexes”, and
Section 12.9, “Full-Text Search Functions”.
The INNODB_FT_CONFIG table provides
metadata about the FULLTEXT index and
associated processing for an InnoDB table.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the value
of the innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the table
that contains the FULLTEXT index; for example
test/articles.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.4, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA FULLTEXT Index Tables”.
The INNODB_FT_CONFIG table has these
columns:
KEY
The name designating an item of metadata for an
InnoDB table containing a
FULLTEXT index.
The values for this column might change, depending on the
needs for performance tuning and debugging for
InnoDB full-text processing. The key names
and their meanings include:
optimize_checkpoint_limit: The number
of seconds after which an OPTIMIZE
TABLE run stops.
synced_doc_id: The next
DOC_ID to be issued.
stopword_table_name: The
database/table name for a
user-defined stopword table. The VALUE
column is empty if there is no user-defined stopword
table.
use_stopword: Indicates whether a
stopword table is used, which is defined when the
FULLTEXT index is created.
VALUE
The value associated with the corresponding
KEY column, reflecting some limit or
current value for an aspect of a FULLTEXT
index for an InnoDB table.

The INNODB_FT_DEFAULT_STOPWORD table
holds a list of stopwords
that are used by default when creating a
FULLTEXT index on InnoDB
tables. For information about the default
InnoDB stopword list and how to define your own
stopword lists, see Section 12.9.4, “Full-Text Stopwords”.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.4, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA FULLTEXT Index Tables”.
The INNODB_FT_DEFAULT_STOPWORD table
has these columns:
value
A word that is used by default as a stopword for
FULLTEXT indexes on
InnoDB tables. This is not used if you
override the default stopword processing with either the
innodb_ft_server_stopword_table
or the
innodb_ft_user_stopword_table
system variable.

The INNODB_FT_DELETED table stores
rows that are deleted from the FULLTEXT index
for an InnoDB table. To avoid expensive index
reorganization during DML operations for an
InnoDB FULLTEXT index, the
information about newly deleted words is stored separately,
filtered out of search results when you do a text search, and
removed from the main search index only when you issue an
OPTIMIZE TABLE statement for the
InnoDB table. For more information, see
Optimizing InnoDB Full-Text Indexes.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the value
of the innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the table
that contains the FULLTEXT index; for example
test/articles.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.4, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA FULLTEXT Index Tables”.
The INNODB_FT_DELETED table has these
columns:
DOC_ID
The document ID of the newly deleted row. This value might
reflect the value of an ID column that you defined for the
underlying table, or it can be a sequence value generated by
InnoDB when the table contains no suitable
column. This value is used when you do text searches, to skip
rows in the INNODB_FT_INDEX_TABLE
table before data for deleted rows is physically removed from
the FULLTEXT index by an
OPTIMIZE TABLE statement. For
more information, see Optimizing InnoDB Full-Text Indexes.

The INNODB_FT_INDEX_CACHE table
provides token information about newly inserted rows in a
FULLTEXT index. To avoid expensive index
reorganization during DML operations, the information about newly
indexed words is stored separately, and combined with the main
search index only when OPTIMIZE
TABLE is run, when the server is shut down, or when the
cache size exceeds a limit defined by the
innodb_ft_cache_size or
innodb_ft_total_cache_size system
variable.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the value
of the innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the table
that contains the FULLTEXT index; for example
test/articles.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.4, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA FULLTEXT Index Tables”.
The INNODB_FT_INDEX_CACHE table has
these columns:
WORD
A word extracted from the text of a newly inserted row.
FIRST_DOC_ID
The first document ID in which this word appears in the
FULLTEXT index.
LAST_DOC_ID
The last document ID in which this word appears in the
FULLTEXT index.
DOC_COUNT
The number of rows in which this word appears in the
FULLTEXT index. The same word can occur
several times within the cache table, once for each
combination of DOC_ID and
POSITION values.
DOC_ID
The document ID of the newly inserted row. This value might
reflect the value of an ID column that you defined for the
underlying table, or it can be a sequence value generated by
InnoDB when the table contains no suitable
column.
POSITION
The position of this particular instance of the word within
the relevant document identified by the
DOC_ID value. The value does not represent
an absolute position; it is an offset added to the
POSITION of the previous instance of that
word.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the
value of the
innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the
table that contains the FULLTEXT index; for

The INNODB_FT_INDEX_TABLE table
provides information about the inverted index used to process text
searches against the FULLTEXT index of an
InnoDB table.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the value
of the innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the table
that contains the FULLTEXT index; for example
test/articles.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.4, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA FULLTEXT Index Tables”.
The INNODB_FT_INDEX_TABLE table has
these columns:
WORD
A word extracted from the text of the columns that are part of
a FULLTEXT.
FIRST_DOC_ID
The first document ID in which this word appears in the
FULLTEXT index.
LAST_DOC_ID
The last document ID in which this word appears in the
FULLTEXT index.
DOC_COUNT
The number of rows in which this word appears in the
FULLTEXT index. The same word can occur
several times within the cache table, once for each
combination of DOC_ID and
POSITION values.
DOC_ID
The document ID of the row containing the word. This value
might reflect the value of an ID column that you defined for
the underlying table, or it can be a sequence value generated
by InnoDB when the table contains no
suitable column.
POSITION
The position of this particular instance of the word within
the relevant document identified by the
DOC_ID value.
This table is empty initially. Before querying it, set the
value of the
innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to the name (including the database name) of the
table that contains the FULLTEXT index; for
example test/articles. The following
example demonstrates how to use the
innodb_ft_aux_table system
variable to show information about a
FULLTEXT index for a specified table.
Before information for newly inserted rows appears in
INNODB_FT_INDEX_TABLE, the
FULLTEXT index cache must be flushed to
disk. This is accomplished by running an
OPTIMIZE TABLE operation on the
indexed table with the
innodb_optimize_fulltext_only
system variable enabled. (The example disables that variable
again at the end because it is intended to be enabled only
temporarily.)

The INNODB_LOCKS table provides
information about each lock that an InnoDB
transaction has requested but not yet acquired, and each lock that
a transaction holds that is blocking another transaction.
The INNODB_LOCKS table has these
columns:
LOCK_ID
A unique lock ID number, internal to
InnoDB. Treat it as an opaque string.
Although LOCK_ID currently contains
TRX_ID, the format of the data in
LOCK_ID is subject to change at any time.
Do not write applications that parse the
LOCK_ID value.
LOCK_TRX_ID
The ID of the transaction holding the lock. To obtain details
about the transaction, join this column with the
TRX_ID column of the
INNODB_TRX table.
LOCK_MODE
How the lock is requested. Permitted lock mode descriptors are
S, X,
IS, IX,
GAP, AUTO_INC, and
UNKNOWN. Lock mode descriptors may be used
in combination to identify particular lock modes. For
information about InnoDB lock modes, see
Section 14.7.1, “InnoDB Locking”.
LOCK_TYPE
The type of lock. Permitted values are
RECORD for a row-level lock,
TABLE for a table-level lock.
LOCK_TABLE
The name of the table that has been locked or contains locked records.
LOCK_INDEX
The name of the index, if LOCK_TYPE is
RECORD; otherwise NULL.
LOCK_SPACE
The tablespace ID of the locked record, if
LOCK_TYPE is RECORD;
otherwise NULL.
LOCK_PAGE
The page number of the locked record, if
LOCK_TYPE is RECORD;
otherwise NULL.
LOCK_REC
The heap number of the locked record within the page, if
LOCK_TYPE is RECORD;
otherwise NULL.
LOCK_DATA
The data associated with the lock, if any. A value is shown if
the LOCK_TYPE is RECORD,
otherwise the value is NULL. Primary key
values of the locked record are shown for a lock placed on the
primary key index. Secondary index values of the locked record
are shown for a lock placed on a unique secondary index.
Secondary index values are shown with primary key values
appended if the secondary index is not unique. If there is no
primary key, LOCK_DATA shows either the key
values of a selected unique index or the unique
InnoDB internal row ID number, according to
the rules governing InnoDB clustered index
use (see Section 14.6.2.1, “Clustered and Secondary Indexes”).
LOCK_DATA reports “supremum
pseudo-record” for a lock taken on a supremum
pseudo-record. If the page containing the locked record is not
in the buffer pool because it was written to disk while the
lock was held, InnoDB does not fetch the
page from disk. Instead, LOCK_DATA reports
NULL.

The INNODB_METRICS table provides a
wide variety of InnoDB performance information,
complementing the specific focus areas of the Performance Schema
tables for InnoDB. With simple queries, you can
check the overall health of the system. With more detailed
queries, you can diagnose issues such as performance bottlenecks,
resource shortages, and application issues.
Each monitor represents a point within the
InnoDB source code that is instrumented to
gather counter information. Each counter can be started, stopped,
and reset. You can also perform these actions for a group of
counters using their common module name.
By default, relatively little data is collected. To start, stop,
and reset counters, set one of the system variables
innodb_monitor_enable,
innodb_monitor_disable,
innodb_monitor_reset, or
innodb_monitor_reset_all, using
the name of the counter, the name of the module, a wildcard match
for such a name using the “%” character, or the
special keyword all.
For usage information, see Section 14.15.6, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Metrics Table”.
The INNODB_METRICS table has these
columns:
NAME
A unique name for the counter.
SUBSYSTEM
The aspect of InnoDB that the metric
applies to.
COUNT
The value since the counter was enabled.
MAX_COUNT
The maximum value since the counter was enabled.
MIN_COUNT
The minimum value since the counter was enabled.
AVG_COUNT
The average value since the counter was enabled.
COUNT_RESET
The counter value since it was last reset. (The
_RESET columns act like the lap counter on
a stopwatch: you can measure the activity during some time
interval, while the cumulative figures are still available in
COUNT, MAX_COUNT, and so
on.)
MAX_COUNT_RESET
The maximum counter value since it was last reset.
MIN_COUNT_RESET
The minimum counter value since it was last reset.
AVG_COUNT_RESET
The average counter value since it was last reset.
TIME_ENABLED
The timestamp of the last start.
TIME_DISABLED
The timestamp of the last stop.
TIME_ELAPSED
The elapsed time in seconds since the counter started.
TIME_RESET
The timestamp of the last reset.
STATUS
Whether the counter is still running
(enabled) or stopped
(disabled).
TYPE
Whether the item is a cumulative counter, or measures the current value of some resource.
COMMENT
The counter description.

binary value with bits representing MySQL data type, character
set code, and nullability.
LEN
The column length, for example 4 for INT
and 8 for BIGINT. For character columns in
multibyte character sets, this length value is the maximum
length in bytes needed to represent a definition such as
VARCHAR(; that
is, it might be
N)2*,
N3*, and so on

The INNODB_SYS_INDEXES table provides
metadata about InnoDB indexes, equivalent to
the information in the internal SYS_INDEXES
table in the InnoDB data dictionary.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.3, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA System Tables”.
The INNODB_SYS_INDEXES table has
these columns:
INDEX_ID
An identifier for the index. Index identifiers are unique across all the databases in an instance.
NAME
The name of the index. Most indexes created implicitly by
InnoDB have consistent names but the index
names are not necessarily unique. Examples:
PRIMARY for a primary key index,
GEN_CLUST_INDEX for the index representing
a primary key when one is not specified, and
ID_IND, FOR_IND, and
REF_IND for foreign key constraints.
TABLE_ID
An identifier representing the table associated with the
index; the same value as
INNODB_SYS_TABLES.TABLE_ID.
TYPE
A numeric value derived from bit-level information that
identifies the index type. 0 = nonunique secondary index; 1 =
automatically generated clustered index
(GEN_CLUST_INDEX); 2 = unique nonclustered
index; 3 = clustered index; 32 = full-text index
N_FIELDS
The number of columns in the index key. For
GEN_CLUST_INDEX indexes, this value is 0
because the index is created using an artificial value rather
than a real table column.
PAGE_NO
The root page number of the index B-tree. For full-text
indexes, the PAGE_NO column is unused and
set to -1 (FIL_NULL) because the full-text
index is laid out in several B-trees (auxiliary tables).
SPACE
An identifier for the tablespace where the index resides. 0
means the InnoDB
system
tablespace. Any other number represents a table created
with a separate .ibd file in
file-per-table
mode. This identifier stays the same after a
TRUNCATE TABLE statement.
Because all indexes for a table reside in the same tablespace
as the table, this value is not necessarily unique.

For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.3, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA System Tables”.
The INNODB_SYS_TABLES table has these
columns:
TABLE_ID
An identifier for the InnoDB table. This
value is unique across all databases in the instance.
NAME
The name of the table, preceded by the schema (database) name
where appropriate (for example, test/t1).
Names of databases and user tables are in the same case as
they were originally defined, possibly influenced by the
lower_case_table_names
setting.
FLAG
A numeric value that represents bit-level information about table format and storage characteristics.
N_COLS
The number of columns in the table. The number reported
includes three hidden columns that are created by
InnoDB (DB_ROW_ID,
DB_TRX_ID, and
DB_ROLL_PTR).
SPACE
An identifier for the tablespace where the table resides. 0
means the InnoDB
system
tablespace. Any other number represents a table created
in file-per-table
mode with a separate .ibd file. This
identifier stays the same after a
TRUNCATE TABLE statement. Other
than the zero value, this identifier is unique for tables
across all the databases in the instance.
FILE_FORMAT
The table's file format (Antelope or
Barracuda).
ROW_FORMAT
The table's row format (Compact,
Redundant, Dynamic, or

For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.3, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA System Tables”.
The INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES table has
these columns:
SPACE
The tablespace ID.
NAME
The schema (database) and table name.
FLAG
A numeric value that represents bit-level information about tablespace format and storage characteristics.
FILE_FORMAT
The tablespace file format (for example,
Antelope or
Barracuda). The data in
this field is interpreted from the tablespace flags
information that resides in the
.ibd file. For more
information about InnoDB file formats, see
Section 14.10, “InnoDB File-Format Management”.
ROW_FORMAT
The tablespace row format (Compact or
Redundant, Dynamic, or
Compressed). The data in this column is
interpreted from the tablespace flags information that resides
in the .ibd
file.
PAGE_SIZE
The tablespace page size. The data in this column is

Because tablespace flags are always zero for all Antelope file
formats (unlike table flags), there is no way to determine
from this flag integer if the tablespace row format is
Redundant or Compact. As a result, the possible values for the
ROW_FORMAT field are “Compact or
Redundant”, “Compressed”, or
“Dynamic.”
The INNODB_SYS_TABLESTATS table
provides a view of low-level status information about
InnoDB tables. This data is used by the MySQL
optimizer to calculate which index to use when querying an
InnoDB table. This information is derived from
in-memory data structures rather than data stored on disk. There
is no corresponding internal InnoDB system
table.
InnoDB tables are represented in this view if
they have been opened since the last server restart and have not
aged out of the table cache. Tables for which persistent stats are
available are always represented in this view.
Table statistics are updated only for
DELETE or
UPDATE operations that modify
indexed columns. Statistics are not updated by operations that
modify only nonindexed columns.
ANALYZE TABLE clears table
statistics and sets the STATS_INITIALIZED
column to Uninitialized. Statistics are
collected again the next time the table is accessed.
For related usage information and examples, see Section 14.15.3, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA System Tables”.
The INNODB_SYS_TABLESTATS table has
these columns:
TABLE_ID
An identifier representing the table for which statistics are
available; the same value as
INNODB_SYS_TABLES.TABLE_ID.
NAME
The name of the table; the same value as
INNODB_SYS_TABLES.NAME.
STATS_INITIALIZED
The value is Initialized if the statistics
are already collected, Uninitialized if
not.
NUM_ROWS
The current estimated number of rows in the table. Updated after each DML operation. The value could be imprecise if uncommitted transactions are inserting into or deleting from the table.
CLUST_INDEX_SIZE
The number of pages on disk that store the clustered index,
which holds the InnoDB table data in
primary key order. This value might be null if no statistics
are collected yet for the table.
OTHER_INDEX_SIZE
The number of pages on disk that store all secondary indexes for the table. This value might be null if no statistics are collected yet for the table.
MODIFIED_COUNTER
The number of rows modified by DML operations, such as
INSERT, UPDATE,
DELETE, and also cascade operations from
foreign keys. This column is reset each time table statistics
are recalculated
AUTOINC
The next number to be issued for any auto-increment-based
operation. The rate at which the AUTOINC
value changes depends on how many times auto-increment numbers
have been requested and how many numbers are granted per
request.
REF_COUNT
When this counter reaches zero, the table metadata can be evicted from the table cache.

The INNODB_TRX table provides
information about every transaction (excluding read-only
transactions) currently executing inside
InnoDB, including whether the transaction is
waiting for a lock, when the transaction started, and the SQL
statement the transaction is executing, if any.
For usage information, see Section 14.15.2.1, “Using InnoDB Transaction and Locking Information”.
The INNODB_TRX table has these
columns:
TRX_ID
A unique transaction ID number, internal to
InnoDB. (Starting in MySQL 5.6, these IDs
are not created for transactions that are read only and
nonlocking. For details, see
Section 8.5.3, “Optimizing InnoDB Read-Only Transactions”.)
TRX_WEIGHT
The weight of a transaction, reflecting (but not necessarily
the exact count of) the number of rows altered and the number
of rows locked by the transaction. To resolve a deadlock,
InnoDB selects the transaction with the
smallest weight as the “victim” to roll back.
Transactions that have changed nontransactional tables are
considered heavier than others, regardless of the number of
altered and locked rows.
TRX_STATE
The transaction execution state. Permitted values are
RUNNING, LOCK WAIT,
ROLLING BACK, and
COMMITTING.
TRX_STARTED
The transaction start time.
TRX_REQUESTED_LOCK_ID
The ID of the lock the transaction is currently waiting for,
if TRX_STATE is LOCK
WAIT; otherwise NULL. To obtain
details about the lock, join this column with the
LOCK_ID column of the
INNODB_LOCKS table.
TRX_WAIT_STARTED
The time when the transaction started waiting on the lock, if
TRX_STATE is LOCK WAIT;
otherwise NULL.
TRX_MYSQL_THREAD_ID
The MySQL thread ID. To obtain details about the thread, join
this column with the ID column of the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA
PROCESSLIST table, but see
Section 14.15.2.3, “Persistence and Consistency of InnoDB Transaction and Locking
Information”.
TRX_QUERY
The SQL statement that is being executed by the transaction.
TRX_OPERATION_STATE
The transaction's current operation, if any; otherwise
NULL.
TRX_TABLES_IN_USE
The number of InnoDB tables used while
processing the current SQL statement of this transaction.
TRX_TABLES_LOCKED
The number of InnoDB tables that the
current SQL statement has row locks on. (Because these are row
locks, not table locks, the tables can usually still be read
from and written to by multiple transactions, despite some
rows being locked.)
TRX_LOCK_STRUCTS
The number of locks reserved by the transaction.
TRX_LOCK_MEMORY_BYTES
The total size taken up by the lock structures of this transaction in memory.
TRX_ROWS_LOCKED
The approximate number or rows locked by this transaction. The value might include delete-marked rows that are physically present but not visible to the transaction.
TRX_ROWS_MODIFIED
The number of modified and inserted rows in this transaction.
TRX_CONCURRENCY_TICKETS
A value indicating how much work the current transaction can
do before being swapped out, as specified by the
innodb_concurrency_tickets
system variable.
TRX_ISOLATION_LEVEL
The isolation level of the current transaction.
TRX_UNIQUE_CHECKS
Whether unique checks are turned on or off for the current transaction. For example, they might be turned off during a bulk data load.
TRX_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS
Whether foreign key checks are turned on or off for the current transaction. For example, they might be turned off during a bulk data load.
TRX_LAST_FOREIGN_KEY_ERROR
The detailed error message for the last foreign key error, if
any; otherwise NULL.
TRX_ADAPTIVE_HASH_LATCHED
Whether the adaptive hash index is locked by the current transaction. (Only a single transaction at a time can modify the adaptive hash index.)
TRX_ADAPTIVE_HASH_TIMEOUT
Whether to relinquish the search latch immediately for the adaptive hash index, or reserve it across calls from MySQL. When there is no adaptive hash index contention, this value remains zero and statements reserve the latch until they finish. During times of contention, it counts down to zero, and statements release the latch immediately after each row lookup.
TRX_IS_READ_ONLY
A value of 1 indicates the transaction is read only.
TRX_AUTOCOMMIT_NON_LOCKING
A value of 1 indicates the transaction is a
SELECT statement that does not
use the FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN
SHARED MODE clauses, and is executing with
autocommit enabled so that
the transaction will contain only this one statement. When
this column and TRX_IS_READ_ONLY are both
1, InnoDB optimizes the transaction to
reduce the overhead associated with transactions that change
table data.

This value is always empty.
TABLE_SCHEMA
This value is always NULL.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the Disk Data table with which the file is associated, if any.
LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME
The name of the log file group to which the log file or data file belongs.
LOGFILE_GROUP_NUMBER
For an UNDO log file, the auto-generated ID

always NDB or
NDBCLUSTER.
FULLTEXT_KEYS
For an NDB Cluster Disk Data log file or data file, this value is always empty.
DELETED_ROWS
This value is always NULL.
UPDATE_COUNT
This value is always NULL.
FREE_EXTENTS
The number of extents which have not yet been used by the file.
TOTAL_EXTENTS
The total number of extents allocated to the file.
EXTENT_SIZE
The size of an extent for the file in bytes.
INITIAL_SIZE
The size of the file in bytes. This is the same value that was
used in the INITIAL_SIZE clause of the
CREATE LOGFILE GROUP,
ALTER LOGFILE GROUP,
CREATE TABLESPACE, or
ALTER TABLESPACE statement used
to create the file.
MAXIMUM_SIZE
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always the same
as the INITIAL_SIZE value.
AUTOEXTEND_SIZE
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always empty.
CREATION_TIME
The date and time when the file was created.
LAST_UPDATE_TIME
The date and time when the file was last modified.
LAST_ACCESS_TIME
The date and time when the file was last accessed by the server.
RECOVER_TIME
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always
0.
TRANSACTION_COUNTER
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always
0.
VERSION
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always
NULL.

NULL.
CHECKSUM
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always
NULL.
STATUS
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, this value is always
NORMAL.
EXTRA
For NDB Cluster Disk Data files, the EXTRA
column shows which data node the file belongs to (each data
node having its own copy), as well as the size of its undo
buffer. Suppose that you use this statement on an NDB Cluster
with four data nodes:
CREATE LOGFILE GROUP mygroup
ADD UNDOFILE 'new_undo.dat'
INITIAL_SIZE 2G
ENGINE NDB;
After running the CREATE LOGFILE
GROUP statement successfully, you should see a
result similar to the one shown here for this query against
the FILES table:
mysql>SELECT LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME, FILE_TYPE, EXTRAFROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILESWHERE FILE_NAME = 'new_undo.dat';+--------------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------+ | LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME | FILE_TYPE | EXTRA | +--------------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------+ | mygroup | UNDO LOG | CLUSTER_NODE=5;UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE=8388608 | | mygroup | UNDO LOG | CLUSTER_NODE=6;UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE=8388608 | | mygroup | UNDO LOG | CLUSTER_NODE=7;UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE=8388608 | | mygroup | UNDO LOG | CLUSTER_NODE=8;UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE=8388608 | +--------------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------+
The FILES table is a
nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.
This table provides information about Disk Data
files only; you cannot use it for
determining disk space allocation or availability for
individual NDB tables. However, it is
possible to see how much space is allocated for each
NDB table having data stored on
disk—as well as how much remains available for storage
of data on disk for that table—using
ndb_desc. For more information, see
Section 18.4.10, “ndb_desc — Describe NDB Tables”.
The CREATION_TIME,
LAST_UPDATE_TIME, and
LAST_ACCESSED values are as reported by
the operating system, and are not supplied by the
NDB storage engine. Where no
value is provided by the operating system, these columns
display 0000-00-00 00:00:00.
The difference between the TOTAL EXTENTS
and FREE_EXTENTS columns is the number of
extents currently in use by the file:
SELECT TOTAL_EXTENTS - FREE_EXTENTS AS extents_used
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
WHERE FILE_NAME = 'myfile.dat';
To approximate the amount of disk space in use by the file,
multiply that difference by the value of the
EXTENT_SIZE column, which gives the size
of an extent for the file in bytes:
SELECT (TOTAL_EXTENTS - FREE_EXTENTS) * EXTENT_SIZE AS bytes_used
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
WHERE FILE_NAME = 'myfile.dat';
Similarly, you can estimate the amount of space that remains
available in a given file by multiplying
FREE_EXTENTS by
EXTENT_SIZE:
SELECT FREE_EXTENTS * EXTENT_SIZE AS bytes_free
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
WHERE FILE_NAME = 'myfile.dat';
The byte values produced by the preceding queries are
approximations only, and their precision is inversely
proportional to the value of
EXTENT_SIZE. That is, the larger
EXTENT_SIZE becomes, the less accurate
the approximations are.
It is also important to remember that once an extent is used, it cannot be freed again without dropping the data file of which it is a part. This means that deletes from a Disk Data table do not release disk space.
The extent size can be set in a CREATE
TABLESPACE statement. For more information, see
Section 13.1.18, “CREATE TABLESPACE Syntax”.
An additional row is present in the
FILES table following the
creation of a logfile group. This row has
NULL for the value of the
FILE_NAME column. For this row, the value
of the FILE_ID column is always
0, that of the
FILE_TYPE column is always UNDO
LOG, and that of the STATUS
column is always NORMAL. The value of the
ENGINE column is always
NDBCLUSTER.
The FREE_EXTENTS column in this row shows
the total number of free extents available to all undo files
belonging to a given log file group whose name and number
are shown in the LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME and
LOGFILE_GROUP_NUMBER columns,
respectively.
Suppose there are no existing log file groups on your NDB Cluster, and you create one using the following statement:
mysql>CREATE LOGFILE GROUP lg1ADD UNDOFILE 'undofile.dat'INITIAL_SIZE = 16MUNDO_BUFFER_SIZE = 1MENGINE = NDB;
You can now see this NULL row when you
query the FILES table:
mysql>SELECT DISTINCTFILE_NAME AS File,FREE_EXTENTS AS Free,TOTAL_EXTENTS AS Total,EXTENT_SIZE AS Size,INITIAL_SIZE AS InitialFROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES;+--------------+---------+---------+------+----------+ | File | Free | Total | Size | Initial | +--------------+---------+---------+------+----------+ | undofile.dat | NULL | 4194304 | 4 | 16777216 | | NULL | 4184068 | NULL | 4 | NULL | +--------------+---------+---------+------+----------+
The total number of free extents available for undo logging
is always somewhat less than the sum of the
TOTAL_EXTENTS column values for all undo
files in the log file group due to overhead required for
maintaining the undo files. This can be seen by adding a
second undo file to the log file group, then repeating the
previous query against the
FILES table:
mysql>ALTER LOGFILE GROUP lg1ADD UNDOFILE 'undofile02.dat'INITIAL_SIZE = 4MENGINE = NDB;mysql>SELECT DISTINCTFILE_NAME AS File,FREE_EXTENTS AS Free,TOTAL_EXTENTS AS Total,EXTENT_SIZE AS Size,INITIAL_SIZE AS InitialFROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES;+----------------+---------+---------+------+----------+ | File | Free | Total | Size | Initial | +----------------+---------+---------+------+----------+ | undofile.dat | NULL | 4194304 | 4 | 16777216 | | undofile02.dat | NULL | 1048576 | 4 | 4194304 | | NULL | 5223944 | NULL | 4 | NULL | +----------------+---------+---------+------+----------+
The amount of free space in bytes which is available for undo logging by Disk Data tables using this log file group can be approximated by multiplying the number of free extents by the initial size:
mysql>SELECTFREE_EXTENTS AS 'Free Extents',FREE_EXTENTS * EXTENT_SIZE AS 'Free Bytes'FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILESWHERE LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME = 'lg1'AND FILE_NAME IS NULL;+--------------+------------+ | Free Extents | Free Bytes | +--------------+------------+ | 5223944 | 20895776 | +--------------+------------+
If you create an NDB Cluster Disk Data table and then insert some rows into it, you can see approximately how much space remains for undo logging afterward, for example:
mysql>CREATE TABLESPACE ts1ADD DATAFILE 'data1.dat'USE LOGFILE GROUP lg1INITIAL_SIZE 512MENGINE = NDB;mysql>CREATE TABLE dd (c1 INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,c2 INT,c3 DATE)TABLESPACE ts1 STORAGE DISKENGINE = NDB;mysql>INSERT INTO dd VALUES(NULL, 1234567890, '2007-02-02'),(NULL, 1126789005, '2007-02-03'),(NULL, 1357924680, '2007-02-04'),(NULL, 1642097531, '2007-02-05');mysql>SELECTFREE_EXTENTS AS 'Free Extents',FREE_EXTENTS * EXTENT_SIZE AS 'Free Bytes'FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILESWHERE LOGFILE_GROUP_NAME = 'lg1'AND FILE_NAME IS NULL;+--------------+------------+ | Free Extents | Free Bytes | +--------------+------------+ | 5207565 | 20830260 | +--------------+------------+
An additional row is present in the
FILES table for any NDB Cluster
tablespace, whether or not any data files are associated
with the tablespace. This row has NULL
for the value of the FILE_NAME column.
For this row, the value of the FILE_ID
column is always 0, that of the
FILE_TYPE column is always
TABLESPACE, and that of the
STATUS column is always
NORMAL. The value of the
ENGINE column is always
NDBCLUSTER.
For additional information, and examples of creating and dropping NDB Cluster Disk Data objects, see Section 18.5.12, “NDB Cluster Disk Data Tables”.
The ndb_transid_mysql_connection_map table
provides a mapping between NDB transactions,
NDB transaction coordinators, and MySQL Servers
attached to an NDB Cluster as API nodes. This information is used
when populating the
server_operations and
server_transactions tables of
the ndbinfo NDB Cluster
information database.
The ndb_transid_mysql_connection_map
table has these columns:
mysql_connection_id
The MySQL server connection ID.
node_id
The transaction coordinator node ID.
ndb_transid
The NDB transaction ID.
The mysql_connection_id value is the same as
the connection or session ID shown in the output of
SHOW PROCESSLIST.
There are no SHOW statements associated with
this table.
This is a nonstandard table, specific to NDB Cluster. It is
implemented as an INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugin;
you can verify that it is supported by checking the output of
SHOW PLUGINS. If
ndb_transid_mysql_connection_map support is
enabled, the output from this statement includes a plugin having
this name, of type INFORMATION SCHEMA, and
having status ACTIVE, as shown here (using
emphasized text):

The plugin is enabled by default. You can disable it (or force the
server not to run unless the plugin starts) by starting the server
with the
--ndb-transid-mysql-connection-map
option. If the plugin is disabled, the status is shown by
SHOW PLUGINS as
DISABLED. The plugin cannot be enabled or
disabled at runtime.
Although the names of this table and its columns are displayed using lowercase, you can use uppercase or lowercase when referring to them in SQL statements.
For this table to be created, the MySQL Server must be a binary
supplied with the NDB Cluster distribution, or one built from the
NDB Cluster sources with NDB storage
engine support enabled. It is not available in the standard MySQL
5.6 Server.
The following sections describe the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables associated with the
thread pool plugin (see Section 5.5.3, “MySQL Enterprise Thread Pool”). They provide
information about thread pool operation:
TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATE: Information
about thread pool thread group states
TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATS: Thread group
statistics
TP_THREAD_STATE: Information about
thread pool thread states
Rows in these tables represent snapshots in time. In the case of
TP_THREAD_STATE, all rows for a thread
group comprise a snapshot in time. Thus, the MySQL server holds the
mutex of the thread group while producing the snapshot. But it does
not hold mutexes on all thread groups at the same time, to prevent a
statement against TP_THREAD_STATE from
blocking the entire MySQL server.
The thread pool INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables are
implemented by individual plugins and the decision whether to load
one can be made independently of the others (see
Section 5.5.3.2, “Thread Pool Installation”). However, the content of
all the tables depends on the thread pool plugin being enabled. If a
table plugin is enabled but the thread pool plugin is not, the table
becomes visible and can be accessed but will be empty.
The TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATE table has
one row per thread group in the thread pool. Each row provides
information about the current state of a group.
The TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATE table has
these columns:
TP_GROUP_ID
The thread group ID. This is a unique key within the table.
CONSUMER THREADS
The number of consumer threads. There is at most one thread ready to start executing if the active threads become stalled or blocked.
RESERVE_THREADS
The number of threads in the reserved state. This means that they will not be started until there is a need to wake a new thread and there is no consumer thread. This is where most threads end up when the thread group has created more threads than needed for normal operation. Often a thread group needs additional threads for a short while and then does not need them again for a while. In this case, they go into the reserved state and remain until needed again. They take up some extra memory resources, but no extra computing resources.
CONNECT_THREAD_COUNT
The number of threads that are processing or waiting to process connection initialization and authentication. There can be a maximum of four connection threads per thread group; these threads expire after a period of inactivity.
This column was added in MySQL 5.6.36.
CONNECTION_COUNT
The number of connections using this thread group.
QUEUED_QUERIES
The number of statements waiting in the high-priority queue.
QUEUED_TRANSACTIONS
The number of statements waiting in the low-priority queue. These are the initial statements for transactions that have not started, so they also represent queued transactions.
STALL_LIMIT
The value of the
thread_pool_stall_limit
system variable for the thread group. This is the same value
for all thread groups.
PRIO_KICKUP_TIMER
The value of the
thread_pool_prio_kickup_timer
system variable for the thread group. This is the same value
for all thread groups.
ALGORITHM
The value of the
thread_pool_algorithm system
variable for the thread group. This is the same value for all
thread groups.
THREAD_COUNT
The number of threads started in the thread pool as part of this thread group.
ACTIVE_THREAD_COUNT
The number of threads active in executing statements.
STALLED_THREAD_COUNT
The number of stalled statements in the thread group. A stalled statement could be executing, but from a thread pool perspective it is stalled and making no progress. A long-running statement quickly ends up in this category.
WAITING_THREAD_NUMBER
If there is a thread handling the polling of statements in the thread group, this specifies the thread number within this thread group. It is possible that this thread could be executing a statement.
OLDEST_QUEUED
How long in milliseconds the oldest queued statement has been waiting for execution.
MAX_THREAD_IDS_IN_GROUP
The maximum thread ID of the threads in the group. This is the
same as MAX(TP_THREAD_NUMBER)
for the threads when selected from the
TP_THREAD_STATE table. That is,
these two queries are equivalent:
SELECT TP_GROUP_ID, MAX_THREAD_IDS_IN_GROUP FROM TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATE; SELECT TP_GROUP_ID, MAX(TP_THREAD_NUMBER) FROM TP_THREAD_STATE GROUP BY TP_GROUP_ID;
The TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATS table
reports statistics per thread group. There is one row per group.
The TP_THREAD_GROUP_STATS table has
these columns:
TP_GROUP_ID
The thread group ID. This is a unique key within the table.
CONNECTIONS_STARTED
The number of connections started.
CONNECTIONS_CLOSED
The number of connections closed.
QUERIES_EXECUTED
The number of statements executed. This number is incremented when a statement starts executing, not when it finishes.
QUERIES_QUEUED
The number of statements received that were queued for execution. This does not count statements that the thread group was able to begin executing immediately without queuing, which can happen under the conditions described in Section 5.5.3.3, “Thread Pool Operation”.
THREADS_STARTED
The number of threads started.
PRIO_KICKUPS
The number of statements that have been moved from
low-priority queue to high-priority queue based on the value
of the
thread_pool_prio_kickup_timer
system variable. If this number increases quickly, consider
increasing the value of that variable. A quickly increasing
counter means that the priority system is not keeping
transactions from starting too early. For
InnoDB, this most likely means
deteriorating performance due to too many concurrent
transactions..
STALLED_QUERIES_EXECUTED
The number of statements that have become defined as stalled
due to executing for longer than the value of the
thread_pool_stall_limit
system variable.
BECOME_CONSUMER_THREAD
The number of times thread have been assigned the consumer thread role.
BECOME_RESERVE_THREAD
The number of times threads have been assigned the reserve thread role.
BECOME_WAITING_THREAD
The number of times threads have been assigned the waiter thread role. When statements are queued, this happens very often, even in normal operation, so rapid increases in this value are normal in the case of a highly loaded system where statements are queued up.
WAKE_THREAD_STALL_CHECKER
The number of times the stall check thread decided to wake or create a thread to possibly handle some statements or take care of the waiter thread role.
SLEEP_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_SLEEP waits. These
occur when threads go to sleep; for example, by calling the
SLEEP() function.
DISK_IO_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_DISKIO waits. These
occur when threads perform disk I/O that is likely to not hit
the file system cache. Such waits occur when the buffer pool
reads and writes data to disk, not for normal reads from and
writes to files.
ROW_LOCK_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_ROW_LOCK waits for
release of a row lock by another transaction.
GLOBAL_LOCK_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_GLOBAL_LOCK waits
for a global lock to be released.
META_DATA_LOCK_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_META_DATA_LOCK waits
for a metadata lock to be released.
TABLE_LOCK_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_TABLE_LOCK waits for
a table to be unlocked that the statement needs to access.
USER_LOCK_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_USER_LOCK waits for
a special lock constructed by the user thread.
BINLOG_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_BINLOG_WAITS waits
for the binary log to become free.
GROUP_COMMIT_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_GROUP_COMMIT waits.
These occur when a group commit must wait for the other
parties to complete their part of a transaction.
FSYNC_WAITS
The number of THD_WAIT_SYNC waits for a
file sync operation.
The TP_THREAD_STATE table has one row
per thread created by the thread pool to handle connections.
The TP_THREAD_STATE table has these
columns:
TP_GROUP_ID
The thread group ID.
TP_THREAD_NUMBER
The ID of the thread within its thread group.
TP_GROUP_ID and
TP_THREAD_NUMBER together provide a unique
key within the table.
PROCESS_COUNT
The 10ms interval in which the statement that uses this thread is currently executing. 0 means no statement is executing, 1 means it is in the first 10ms, and so forth.
WAIT_TYPE
The type of wait for the thread. NULL means
the thread is not blocked. Otherwise, the thread is blocked by
a call to thd_wait_begin() and the value
specifies the type of wait. The
xxx_WAITTP_THREAD_GROUP_STATS
table accumulate counts for each wait type.
The WAIT_TYPE value is a string that
describes the type of wait, as shown in the following table.
Table 21.4 TP_THREAD_STATE Table WAIT_TYPE Values
| Wait Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
THD_WAIT_SLEEP |
Waiting for sleep |
THD_WAIT_DISKIO |
Waiting for Disk IO |
THD_WAIT_ROW_LOCK |
Waiting for row lock |
THD_WAIT_GLOBAL_LOCK |
Waiting for global lock |
THD_WAIT_META_DATA_LOCK |
Waiting for metadata lock |
THD_WAIT_TABLE_LOCK |
Waiting for table lock |
THD_WAIT_USER_LOCK |
Waiting for user lock |
THD_WAIT_BINLOG |
Waiting for binlog |
THD_WAIT_GROUP_COMMIT |
Waiting for group commit |
THD_WAIT_SYNC |
Waiting for fsync |
The following sections describe the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables associated with the
CONNECTION_CONTROL plugin.
This table provides information about the current number of consecutive failed connection attempts per client user/host combination. The table was added in MySQL 5.6.35.
CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
has these columns:
USERHOST
The user/host combination of a client that has failed
connection attempts, in
'
format.
user_name'@'host_name'
FAILED_ATTEMPTS
The current number of consecutive failed connection attempts
for the USERHOST value. This counts all
failed attempts, regardless of whether they were delayed. The
number of attempts for which the server added a delay to its
response is the difference between the
FAILED_ATTEMPTS value and the
connection_control_failed_connections_threshold
system variable value.
The
CONNECTION_CONTROL_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
plugin must be activated for this table to be available, and
the CONNECTION_CONTROL plugin must be
activated or the table contents will always be empty. See
Section 6.4.2, “The Connection-Control Plugins”.
The table contains rows only for clients that have had one or more consecutive failed connection attempts without a subsequent successful attempt. When a client connects successfully, its failed-connection count is reset to zero and the server removes any row corresponding to the client.
Assigning a value to the
connection_control_failed_connections_threshold
system variable at runtime resets all accumulated
failed-connection counters to zero, which causes the table to
become empty.
Some extensions to SHOW statements
accompany the implementation of
INFORMATION_SCHEMA:
INFORMATION_SCHEMA is an information database,
so its name is included in the output from
SHOW DATABASES. Similarly,
SHOW TABLES can be used with
INFORMATION_SCHEMA to obtain a list of its
tables:
mysql> SHOW TABLES FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA;
+---------------------------------------+
| Tables_in_INFORMATION_SCHEMA |
+---------------------------------------+
| CHARACTER_SETS |
| COLLATIONS |
| COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY |

| SESSION_STATUS |
| SESSION_VARIABLES |
| STATISTICS |
| TABLES |
| TABLE_CONSTRAINTS |
| TABLE_PRIVILEGES |
| TRIGGERS |
| USER_PRIVILEGES |
| VIEWS |
+---------------------------------------+
SHOW COLUMNS and
DESCRIBE can display information
about the columns in individual
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables.
SHOW statements that accept a
LIKE clause to limit the rows
displayed also permit a WHERE clause that
specifies more general conditions that selected rows must satisfy:
SHOW CHARACTER SET SHOW COLLATION SHOW COLUMNS SHOW DATABASES SHOW FUNCTION STATUS SHOW INDEX SHOW OPEN TABLES SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS SHOW STATUS SHOW TABLE STATUS SHOW TABLES SHOW TRIGGERS SHOW VARIABLES
The WHERE clause, if present, is evaluated
against the column names displayed by the
SHOW statement. For example, the
SHOW CHARACTER SET statement
produces these output columns:
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET;
+----------+-----------------------------+---------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+----------+-----------------------------+---------------------+--------+
| big5 | Big5 Traditional Chinese | big5_chinese_ci | 2 |
| dec8 | DEC West European | dec8_swedish_ci | 1 |
| cp850 | DOS West European | cp850_general_ci | 1 |
| hp8 | HP West European | hp8_english_ci | 1 |
| koi8r | KOI8-R Relcom Russian | koi8r_general_ci | 1 |
| latin1 | cp1252 West European | latin1_swedish_ci | 1 |
| latin2 | ISO 8859-2 Central European | latin2_general_ci | 1 |
...
To use a WHERE clause with
SHOW CHARACTER SET, you would refer
to those column names. As an example, the following statement
displays information about character sets for which the default
collation contains the string 'japanese':
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET WHERE `Default collation` LIKE '%japanese%';
+---------+---------------------------+---------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+---------------------------+---------------------+--------+
| ujis | EUC-JP Japanese | ujis_japanese_ci | 3 |
| sjis | Shift-JIS Japanese | sjis_japanese_ci | 2 |
| cp932 | SJIS for Windows Japanese | cp932_japanese_ci | 2 |
| eucjpms | UJIS for Windows Japanese | eucjpms_japanese_ci | 3 |
+---------+---------------------------+---------------------+--------+
This statement displays the multibyte character sets:
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET WHERE Maxlen > 1;
+---------+---------------------------+---------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+---------------------------+---------------------+--------+
| big5 | Big5 Traditional Chinese | big5_chinese_ci | 2 |
