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.
The following table includes options that are specific to the NDB Cluster native backup restoration program ndb_show_tables. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to most NDB Cluster programs (including ndb_show_tables), see Section 6.32, “Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs — Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs”.
Table 6.23 Command-line options for the ndb_show_tables program
Format | Description | Added, Deprecated, or Removed |
---|---|---|
Specifies database in which table is found; database name must be followed by table name | (Supported in all MySQL 8.0 based releases) |
|
Number of times to repeat output | (Supported in all MySQL 8.0 based releases) |
|
Return output suitable for MySQL LOAD DATA statement | (Supported in all MySQL 8.0 based releases) |
|
Show table temporary flag | (Supported in all MySQL 8.0 based releases) |
|
Limit output to objects of this type | (Supported in all MySQL 8.0 based releases) |
|
Do not qualify table names | (Supported in all MySQL 8.0 based releases) |
Usage
ndb_show_tables [-c connection_string]
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.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.
Using this option causes the output to be in a format suitable for use with
LOAD DATA
.If specified, this causes temporary tables to be displayed.
Can be used to restrict the output to one type of object, specified by an integer type code as shown here:
1
: System table2
: User-created table3
: Unique hash index
Any other value causes all
NDB
database objects to be listed (the default).If specified, this causes unqualified object names to be displayed.
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 6.24, “ndb_select_all — Print Rows from an NDB Table”).
Prior to NDB 8.0.20, this program printed
NDBT_ProgramExit -
upon completion of
its run, due to an unnecessary dependency on the
status
NDBT
testing library. This dependency has
been removed, eliminating the extraneous output.
