The INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table provides information about user-created InnoDB temporary tables that are active in an InnoDB instance. It does not provide information about internal InnoDB temporary tables used by the optimizer. The INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table is created when first queried, exists only in memory, and is not persisted to disk.
For usage information and examples, see Section 17.15.7, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Temporary Table Info Table”.
The INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table has these columns:
-
TABLE_IDThe table ID of the temporary table.
-
NAMEThe name of the temporary table.
-
N_COLSThe number of columns in the temporary table. The number includes three hidden columns created by
InnoDB(DB_ROW_ID,DB_TRX_ID, andDB_ROLL_PTR). -
SPACEThe ID of the temporary tablespace where the temporary table resides.
Example
mysql> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t1 (c1 INT PRIMARY KEY) ENGINE=INNODB;
mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
TABLE_ID: 97
NAME: #sql8c88_43_0
N_COLS: 4
SPACE: 76
