Information about multiple tables can be obtained in a single invocation of ndb_desc by using their names, separated by spaces. All of the tables must be in the same database.

The Version column in the output contains the table's schema object version. For information about interpreting this value, see NDB Schema Object Versions.

The following table includes options that are specific to ndb_desc. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to most MySQL Cluster programs (including ndb_desc), see Section 17.4.20, “Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs — Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs”.
