MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual  /  ...  /  Quick Reference: NDB Cluster SQL Statements

25.6.19 Quick Reference: NDB Cluster SQL Statements

This section discusses several SQL statements that can prove useful in managing and monitoring a MySQL server that is connected to an NDB Cluster, and in some cases provide information about the cluster itself.

  • SHOW ENGINE NDB STATUS, SHOW ENGINE NDBCLUSTER STATUS

    The output of this statement contains information about the server's connection to the cluster, creation and usage of NDB Cluster objects, and binary logging for NDB Cluster replication.

    See Section 15.7.7.15, “SHOW ENGINE Statement”, for a usage example and more detailed information.

  • SHOW ENGINES

    This statement can be used to determine whether or not clustering support is enabled in the MySQL server, and if so, whether it is active.

    See Section 15.7.7.16, “SHOW ENGINES Statement”, for more detailed information.

    Note

    This statement does not support a LIKE clause. However, you can use LIKE to filter queries against the Information Schema ENGINES table, as discussed in the next item.

  • SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ENGINES [WHERE ENGINE LIKE 'NDB%']

    This is the equivalent of SHOW ENGINES, but uses the ENGINES table of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database. Unlike the case with the SHOW ENGINES statement, it is possible to filter the results using a LIKE clause, and to select specific columns to obtain information that may be of use in scripts. For example, the following query shows whether the server was built with NDB support and, if so, whether it is enabled:

    mysql> SELECT ENGINE, SUPPORT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ENGINES
        ->   WHERE ENGINE LIKE 'NDB%';
    +------------+---------+
    | ENGINE     | SUPPORT |
    +------------+---------+
    | ndbcluster | YES     |
    | ndbinfo    | YES     |
    +------------+---------+

    If NDB support is not enabled, the preceding query returns an empty set. See Section 28.3.13, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA ENGINES Table”, for more information.

  • SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'NDB%'

    This statement provides a list of most server system variables relating to the NDB storage engine, and their values, as shown here:

    mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'NDB%';

    Unlike the case with the SHOW VARIABLES statement, it is possible to select individual columns. For example:

    mysql> SELECT VARIABLE_VALUE 
        ->   FROM performance_schema.global_variables
        ->   WHERE VARIABLE_NAME = 'ndb_force_send';
    +----------------+
    | VARIABLE_VALUE |
    +----------------+
    | ON             |
    +----------------+

    A more useful query is shown here:

    mysql> SELECT VARIABLE_NAME AS Name, VARIABLE_VALUE AS Value
         >   FROM performance_schema.global_variables
         >   WHERE VARIABLE_NAME
         >     IN ('version', 'ndb_version',
         >       'ndb_version_string', 'ndbinfo_version');
    
    +--------------------+----------------+
    | Name               | Value          |
    +--------------------+----------------+
    | ndb_version        | 524317         |
    | ndb_version_string | ndb-8.0.29     |
    | ndbinfo_version    | 524317         |
    | version            | 8.0.29-cluster |

  • SHOW STATUS LIKE 'NDB%'

    This statement shows at a glance whether or not the MySQL server is acting as a cluster SQL node, and if so, it provides the MySQL server's cluster node ID, the host name and port for the cluster management server to which it is connected, and the number of data nodes in the cluster, as shown here:

    mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'NDB%';

    If the MySQL server was built with NDB support, but it is not currently connected to a cluster, every row in the output of this statement contains a zero or an empty string for the Value column.

    See also Section 15.7.7.37, “SHOW STATUS Statement”.

  • SELECT * FROM performance_schema.global_status WHERE VARIABLE_NAME LIKE 'NDB%'

    This statement provides similar output to the SHOW STATUS statement discussed in the previous item. Unlike the case with SHOW STATUS, it is possible using SELECT statements to extract values in SQL for use in scripts for monitoring and automation purposes.

    For more information, see Section 29.12.15, “Performance Schema Status Variable Tables”.

  • SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE 'NDB%'

    This statement displays information from the Information Schema PLUGINS table about plugins associated with NDB Cluster, such as version, author, and license, as shown here:

         >     WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE 'NDB%'\G

    You can also use the SHOW PLUGINS statement to display this information, but the output from that statement cannot easily be filtered. See also The MySQL Plugin API, which describes where and how the information in the PLUGINS table is obtained.

You can also query the tables in the ndbinfo information database for real-time data about many NDB Cluster operations. See Section 25.6.16, “ndbinfo: The NDB Cluster Information Database”.
