Misc. INFORMATION_SCHEMA Tables

This page lists the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables added to standard MySQL by Percona Server for MySQL that don’t exist elsewhere in the documentation.

Temporary tables

Note

This feature implementation is considered ALPHA quality.

Only the temporary tables that were explicitly created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE or ALTER TABLE are shown, and not the ones created to process complex queries.

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_TEMPORARY_TABLES

Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.10-1 - Feature ported from Percona Server for MySQL 5.6

Column Name Description
SESSION_ID ‘MySQL connection id’
TABLE_SCHEMA ‘Schema in which the temporary table is created’
TABLE_NAME ‘Name of the temporary table’
ENGINE ‘Engine of the temporary table’
NAME ‘Internal name of the temporary table’
TABLE_ROWS ‘Number of rows of the temporary table’
AVG_ROW_LENGTH ‘Average row length of the temporary table’
DATA_LENGTH ‘Size of the data (Bytes)’
INDEX_LENGTH ‘Size of the indexes (Bytes)’
CREATE_TIME ‘Date and time of the creation of the temporary table’
UPDATE_TIME ‘Date and time of the latest update of the temporary table’

This table holds information on the temporary tables existing for all connections. You don’t need the SUPER privilege to query this table.

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TEMPORARY_TABLES

Percona Server for MySQL 5.7.10-1 - Feature ported from Percona Server for MySQL 5.6

Column Name Description
SESSION_ID ‘MySQL connection id’
TABLE_SCHEMA ‘Schema in which the temporary table is created’
TABLE_NAME ‘Name of the temporary table’
ENGINE ‘Engine of the temporary table’
NAME ‘Internal name of the temporary table’
TABLE_ROWS ‘Number of rows of the temporary table’
AVG_ROW_LENGTH ‘Average row length of the temporary table’
DATA_LENGTH ‘Size of the data (Bytes)’
INDEX_LENGTH ‘Size of the indexes (Bytes)’
CREATE_TIME ‘Date and time of the creation of the temporary table’
UPDATE_TIME ‘Date and time of the latest update of the temporary table’

This table holds information on the temporary tables existing for the running connection.

Multiple Rollback Segments

Percona Server for MySQL, in addition to the upstream multiple rollback segment implementation, provides the additional Information Schema table: INFORMATION_SCHEMA.XTRADB_RSEG.

INFORMATION_SCHEMA Tables

This feature provides the following table:

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.XTRADB_RSEG

Column Name Description
rseg_id ‘rollback segment id’
space_id ‘space where the segment placed’
physical_page_size ‘physical page size’
logical_page_size ‘logical page size’
is_compressed ‘is the page compressed’
page_no ‘page number of the segment header’
max_size ‘max size in pages’
curr_size ‘current size in pages’

This table shows information about all the rollback segments (the default segment and the extra segments).

Here is an example of output with innodb_rollback_segments = 8:

mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.XTRADB_RSEG;

The output resembles the following:

+---------+----------+--------------------+-------------------+---------------+---------+------------+-----------+
| rseg_id | space_id | physical_page_size | logical_page_size | is_compressed | page_no | max_size   | curr_size |
+---------+----------+--------------------+-------------------+---------------+---------+------------+-----------+
