MySQL 8.4 Reference Manual  /  ...  /  Retrieving InnoDB Tablespace Metadata from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES

17.15.8 Retrieving InnoDB 表pace Metadata from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES

The Information Schema FILES table provides metadata about all InnoDB tablespace types including file-per-table tablespaces, general tablespaces, the system tablespace, temporary table tablespaces, and undo tablespaces (if present).

This section provides InnoDB-specific usage examples. For more information about data provided by the Information Schema FILES table, see Section 28.3.15, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA FILES Table”.

Note

The INNODB_TABLESPACES and INNODB_DATAFILES tables also provide metadata about InnoDB tablespaces, but data is limited to file-per-table, general, and undo tablespaces.

This query retrieves metadata about the InnoDB system tablespace from fields of the Information Schema FILES table that are pertinent to InnoDB tablespaces. FILES columns that are not relevant to InnoDB always return NULL, and are excluded from the query.

mysql> SELECT FILE_ID, FILE_NAME, FILE_TYPE, TABLESPACE_NAME, FREE_EXTENTS,
    ->     TOTAL_EXTENTS,  EXTENT_SIZE, INITIAL_SIZE, MAXIMUM_SIZE, AUTOEXTEND_SIZE, DATA_FREE, STATUS ENGINE
    ->     FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME LIKE 'innodb_system' \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
        FILE_ID: 0
      FILE_NAME: ./ibdata1
      FILE_TYPE: TABLESPACE
TABLESPACE_NAME: innodb_system

This query retrieves the FILE_ID (equivalent to the space ID) and the FILE_NAME (which includes path information) for InnoDB file-per-table and general tablespaces. File-per-table and general tablespaces have a .ibd file extension.

This query retrieves the FILE_ID and FILE_NAME for the InnoDB global temporary tablespace. Global temporary tablespace file names are prefixed by ibtmp.

mysql> SELECT FILE_ID, FILE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
       WHERE FILE_NAME LIKE '%ibtmp%';
+---------+-----------+
| FILE_ID | FILE_NAME |
+---------+-----------+
|      22 | ./ibtmp1  |
+---------+-----------+

Similarly, InnoDB undo tablespace file names are prefixed by undo. The following query returns the FILE_ID and FILE_NAME for InnoDB undo tablespaces.

mysql> SELECT FILE_ID, FILE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES
       WHERE FILE_NAME LIKE '%undo%';
