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 tech preview 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.
