7.1.10 Server Status Variables

The MySQL server maintains many status variables that provide information about its operation. You can view these variables and their values by using the SHOW [GLOBAL | SESSION] STATUS statement (see Section 15.7.7.36, “SHOW STATUS Statement”). The optional GLOBAL keyword aggregates the values over all connections, and SESSION shows the values for the current connection.
