14.17.5 InnoDB Table Monitor Output

Note

The InnoDB Table Monitor is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Similar information can be obtained from InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. See Section 21.4, “INFORMATION_SCHEMA InnoDB Tables”.

The InnoDB Table Monitor prints the contents of the InnoDB internal data dictionary.

The output contains one section per table. The SYS_FOREIGN and SYS_FOREIGN_COLS sections are for internal data dictionary tables that maintain information about foreign keys. There are also sections for the Table Monitor table and each user-created InnoDB table. Suppose that the following two tables have been created in the test database:

CREATE TABLE parent
(
  par_id    INT NOT NULL,
  fname      CHAR(20),
  lname      CHAR(20),
  PRIMARY KEY (par_id),
  UNIQUE INDEX (lname, fname)
) ENGINE = INNODB;

CREATE TABLE child
(
  par_id      INT NOT NULL,
  child_id    INT NOT NULL,
  name        VARCHAR(40),
  birth       DATE,
  weight      DECIMAL(10,2),
  misc_info   VARCHAR(255),
  last_update TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (par_id, child_id),
  INDEX (name),
  FOREIGN KEY (par_id) REFERENCES parent (par_id)
    ON DELETE CASCADE
    ON UPDATE CASCADE
) ENGINE = INNODB;

Then the Table Monitor output looks something like this (reformatted slightly):

END OF INNODB TABLE MONITOR OUTPUT
==================================

For each table, Table Monitor output contains a section that displays general information about the table and specific information about its columns, indexes, and foreign keys.

The general information for each table includes the table name (in db_name/tbl_name format except for internal tables), its ID, the number of columns and indexes, and an approximate row count.

The COLUMNS part of a table section lists each column in the table. Information for each column indicates its name and data type characteristics. Some internal columns are added by InnoDB, such as DB_ROW_ID (row ID), DB_TRX_ID (transaction ID), and DB_ROLL_PTR (a pointer to the rollback/undo data).

DATA_xxx
These symbols indicate the data type. There may be multiple DATA_xxx symbols for a given column.
prtype
The column's “precise” type. This field includes information such as the column data type, character set code, nullability, signedness, and whether it is a binary string. This field is described in the innobase/include/data0type.h source file.
len
The column length in bytes.

Each INDEX part of the table section provides the name and characteristics of one table index:

name
The index name. If the name is PRIMARY, the index is a primary key. If the name is GEN_CLUST_INDEX, the index is the clustered index that is created automatically if the table definition doesn't include a primary key or non-NULL unique index. See Section 14.6.2.1, “Clustered and Secondary Indexes”.
id
The index ID.
fields
The number of fields in the index, as a value in m/n format:
- m is the number of user-defined columns; that is, the number of columns you would see in the index definition in a CREATE TABLE statement.
- n is the total number of index columns, including those added internally. For the clustered index, the total includes the other columns in the table definition, plus any columns added internally. For a secondary index, the total includes the columns from the primary key that are not part of the secondary index.
uniq
The number of leading fields that are enough to determine index values uniquely.
type
The index type. This is a bit field. For example, 1 indicates a clustered index and 2 indicates a unique index, so a clustered index (which always contains unique values), has the type value 3. An index with type value 0 is neither clustered nor unique. The flag values are defined in the innobase/include/dict0mem.h source file.
root page
The index root page number.
appr. key vals
The approximate index cardinality.
leaf pages
The approximate number of leaf pages in the index.
size pages
The approximate total number of pages in the index.
FIELDS
The names of the fields in the index. For a clustered index that was generated automatically, the field list begins with the internal DB_ROW_ID (row ID) field. DB_TRX_ID and DB_ROLL_PTR are always added internally to the clustered index, following the fields that comprise the primary key. For a secondary index, the final fields are those from the primary key that are not part of the secondary index.

The end of the table section lists the FOREIGN KEY definitions that apply to the table. This information appears whether the table is a referencing or referenced table.
