MySQL 5.7 Release Notes
The accounts table contains a row
for each account that has connected to the MySQL server. For
each account, the table counts the current and total number of
connections. The table size is autosized at server startup. To
set the table size explicitly, set the
performance_schema_accounts_size
system variable at server startup. To disable account
statistics, set this variable to 0.
The accounts table has the
following columns. For a description of how the Performance
Schema maintains rows in this table, including the effect of
TRUNCATE TABLE, see
Section 25.12.8, “Performance Schema Connection Tables”.
