The INNODB_SYS_FOREIGN_COLS table provides
status information about the columns of InnoDB
foreign keys, equivalent to the information from the
SYS_FOREIGN_COLS table in the
InnoDB data dictionary.
Table 19.11. INNODB_SYS_FOREIGN_COLS Columns
| Column name | Description |

same value as INNODB_SYS_FOREIGN.ID. |

Notes:
Since the INFORMATION_SCHEMA is a
general-purpose way to monitor the MySQL server, use this
table rather than the corresponding InnoDB
system table for any new monitoring application you develop.
You must have the PROCESS privilege to
query this table.
