25.5.27 ndb_show_tables — Display List of NDB Tables

ndb_show_tables displays a list of all NDB database objects in the cluster. By default, this includes not only both user-created tables and NDB system tables, but NDB-specific indexes, internal triggers, and NDB Cluster Disk Data objects as well.

Options that can be used with ndb_show_tables are shown in the following table. Additional descriptions follow the table.

Usage

ndb_show_tables [-c connection_string]

• --character-sets-dir

  Command-Line Format	--character-sets-dir=path

  Directory containing character sets.

• --connect-retries

  Command-Line Format	--connect-retries=#
  Type	Integer
  Default Value	12
  Minimum Value	0
  Maximum Value	12

  Number of times to retry connection before giving up.

• --connect-retry-delay

  Command-Line Format	--connect-retry-delay=#
  Type	Integer
  Default Value	5
  Minimum Value	0
  Maximum Value	5

  Number of seconds to wait between attempts to contact management server.

• --connect-string

  Command-Line Format	--connect-string=connection_string
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Same as --ndb-connectstring.

• --core-file

  Command-Line Format	--core-file

  Write core file on error; used in debugging.

• --database, -d

  Specifies the name of the database in which the desired table is found. If this option is given, the name of a table must follow the database name.

  If this option has not been specified, and no tables are found in the TEST_DB database, ndb_show_tables issues a warning.

• --defaults-extra-file

  Command-Line Format	--defaults-extra-file=path
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Read given file after global files are read.

• --defaults-file

  Command-Line Format	--defaults-file=path
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Read default options from given file only.

• --defaults-group-suffix

  Command-Line Format	--defaults-group-suffix=string
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Also read groups with concat(group, suffix).

• --help

  Command-Line Format	--help

  Display help text and exit.

• --login-path

  Command-Line Format	--login-path=path
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Read given path from login file.

• --no-login-paths

  Command-Line Format	--no-login-paths

  Skips reading options from the login path file.

• --loops, -l

  Specifies the number of times the utility should execute. This is 1 when this option is not specified, but if you do use the option, you must supply an integer argument for it.

• --ndb-connectstring

  Command-Line Format	--ndb-connectstring=connection_string
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Set connection string for connecting to ndb_mgmd. Syntax: [nodeid=id;][host=]hostname[:port]. Overrides entries in NDB_CONNECTSTRING and my.cnf.

• --ndb-mgm-tls

  Command-Line Format	--ndb-mgm-tls=level
  Type	Enumeration
  Default Value	relaxed
  Valid Values	relaxed strict

  Sets the level of TLS support required to connect to the management server; one of relaxed or strict. relaxed (the default) means that a TLS connection is attempted, but success is not required; strict means that TLS is required to connect.

• --ndb-mgmd-host

  Command-Line Format	--ndb-mgmd-host=connection_string
  Type	String
  Default Value	[none]

  Same as --ndb-connectstring.

• --ndb-nodeid

  Command-Line Format	--ndb-nodeid=#
  Type	Integer
  Default Value	[none]

  Set node ID for this node, overriding any ID set by --ndb-connectstring.

• --ndb-optimized-node-selection

  Command-Line Format	--ndb-optimized-node-selection

  Enable optimizations for selection of nodes for transactions. Enabled by default; use --skip-ndb-optimized-node-selection to disable.

• --ndb-tls-search-path

  Command-Line Format	--ndb-tls-search-path=list
  Type	Path name
  Default Value (Unix)	$HOME/ndb-tls
  Default Value (Windows)	$HOMEDIR/ndb-tls

  Specify a list of directories to search for a CA file. On Unix platforms, the directory names are separated by colons (:); on Windows systems, the semicolon character (;) is used as the separator. A directory reference may be relative or absolute; it may contain one or more environment variables, each denoted by a prefixed dollar sign ($), and expanded prior to use.

  Searching begins with the leftmost named directory and proceeds from left to right until a file is found. An empty string denotes an empty search path, which causes all searches to fail. A string consisting of a single dot (.) indicates that the search path limited to the current working directory.

  If no search path is supplied, the compiled-in default value is used. This value depends on the platform used: On Windows, this is \ndb-tls; on other platforms (including Linux), it is $HOME/ndb-tls. This can be overridden by compiling NDB Cluster using -DWITH_NDB_TLS_SEARCH_PATH.

• --no-defaults

  Command-Line Format	--no-defaults

  Do not read default options from any option file other than login file.

• --parsable, -p

  Using this option causes the output to be in a format suitable for use with LOAD DATA.

• --print-defaults

  Command-Line Format	--print-defaults

  Print program argument list and exit.

• --show-temp-status

  If specified, this causes temporary tables to be displayed.

• --type, -t

  Can be used to restrict the output to one type of object, specified by an integer type code as shown here:

  • 1: System table

  • 2: User-created table

  • 3: Unique hash index

  Any other value causes all NDB database objects to be listed (the default).

• --unqualified, -u

  If specified, this causes unqualified object names to be displayed.

• --usage

  Command-Line Format	--usage

  Display help text and exit; same as --help.

• --version

  Command-Line Format	--version

  Display version information and exit.

Note

Only user-created NDB Cluster tables may be accessed from MySQL; system tables such as SYSTAB_0 are not visible to mysqld. However, you can examine the contents of system tables using NDB API applications such as ndb_select_all (see Section 25.5.25, “ndb_select_all — Print Rows from an NDB Table”).
