ndbinfo 是一个包含 NDB 集群特定信息的数据库。

这个数据库中包含了多个表，每个表提供了不同类型的数据关于 NDB 集群节点状态、资源使用情况和操作。您可以在下一几个节中找到每个这些表的详细信息。

ndbinfo 是 MySQL 服务器的一部分，NDB 集群支持；不需要特殊编译或配置步骤；MySQL 服务器连接到集群时将创建这些表。您可以使用 SHOW PLUGINS 来验证 ndbinfo 支持是否已启用；如果 ndbinfo 支持已启用，您应该在 Name 列中看到 ndbinfo 和在 Status 列中看到 ACTIVE，如下所示（强调文本）：

您也可以通过检查 SHOW ENGINES 的输出来验证，查找包含 ndbinfo 在 Engine 列中和 YES 在 Support 列中的行，如下所示（强调文本）：

如果启用了ndbinfo支持，那么可以使用SQL语句在mysql或其他MySQL客户端中访问ndbinfo。例如，可以在SHOW DATABASES的输出结果中看到ndbinfo，如下所示（强调文本）：

mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| ndbinfo            |
| performance_schema |
| sys                |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.04 sec)

如果mysqld进程没有使用--ndbcluster选项启动，那么ndbinfo不可用，并且不会在SHOW DATABASES中显示。如果mysqld曾经连接到NDB集群，但集群变得不可用（例如由于集群关闭、网络连接丢失等事件），那么ndbinfo和其表仍然可见，但是尝试访问任何其他表（除了blocks或config_params）将失败，并显示Got error 157 'Connection to NDB failed' from NDBINFO错误信息。

除了blocks和config_params表外，所谓的ndbinfo“表”实际上是由内部NDB表生成的视图，不通常可见于 MySQL 服务器。你可以通过将ndbinfo_ show_hidden系统变量设置为ON(或1），使这些表可见，但这通常不必要。

所有ndbinfo表都是只读的，并且在查询时生成。由于许多它们是在数据节点并行生成，而其他的是特定于给定的 SQL 节点，因此它们不能保证提供一致的快照。

此外，推送下降连接操作不支持在ndbinfo表上；因此，在查询中使用WHERE子句时，连接大型ndbinfo表可能需要将大量数据传输到请求 API 节点。

ndbinfo表不包括在查询缓存中。 (Bug #59831)

您可以使用USE语句选择ndbinfo数据库，然后使用SHOW TABLES语句获取表的列表，正如对任何其他数据库一样，如下所示：

mysql> USE ndbinfo;
Database changed

mysql> SHOW TABLES;

所有ndbinfo表都使用NDB存储引擎；然而，在SHOW ENGINES和SHOW PLUGINS的输出中，ndbinfo仍然会出现，如前所述。

您可以对这些表执行SELECT语句，就像通常期望的那样：

mysql> SELECT * FROM memoryusage;
+---------+---------------------+--------+------------+------------+-------------+
| node_id | memory_type         | used   | used_pages | total      | total_pages |
+---------+---------------------+--------+------------+------------+-------------+
|       5 | Data memory         | 425984 |         13 | 2147483648 |       65536 |
|       5 | Long message buffer | 393216 |       1536 |   67108864 |      262144 |
|       6 | Data memory         | 425984 |         13 | 2147483648 |       65536 |
|       6 | Long message buffer | 393216 |       1536 |   67108864 |      262144 |
|       7 | Data memory         | 425984 |         13 | 2147483648 |       65536 |
|       7 | Long message buffer | 393216 |       1536 |   67108864 |      262144 |
|       8 | Data memory         | 425984 |         13 | 2147483648 |       65536 |
|       8 | Long message buffer | 393216 |       1536 |   67108864 |      262144 |
+---------+---------------------+--------+------------+------------+-------------+
8 rows in set (0.09 sec)

更复杂的查询，例如以下两个使用memoryusage表的SELECT语句，是可能的：

mysql> SELECT SUM(used) as 'Data Memory Used, All Nodes'
     >     FROM memoryusage
     >     WHERE memory_type = 'Data memory';
+-----------------------------+
| Data Memory Used, All Nodes |
+-----------------------------+
|                        6460 |
+-----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.09 sec)

mysql> SELECT SUM(used) as 'Long Message Buffer, All Nodes'
     >     FROM memoryusage
     >     WHERE memory_type = 'Long message buffer';
+-------------------------------------+
| Long Message Buffer Used, All Nodes |
+-------------------------------------+
|                             1179648 |
+-------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.08 sec)

ndbinfo表和列名是大小写敏感的（正如ndbinfo数据库本身的名称一样）。这些标识符都是小写字母。尝试使用错误的字母大小写将导致错误，如下所示：

mysql> SELECT * FROM nodes;
+---------+--------+---------+-------------+-------------------+
| node_id | uptime | status  | start_phase | config_generation |
+---------+--------+---------+-------------+-------------------+
|       5 |  17707 | STARTED |           0 |                 1 |
|       6 |  17706 | STARTED |           0 |                 1 |
|       7 |  17705 | STARTED |           0 |                 1 |
|       8 |  17704 | STARTED |           0 |                 1 |
+---------+--------+---------+-------------+-------------------+
4 rows in set (0.06 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM Nodes;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'ndbinfo.Nodes' doesn't exist

mysqldump 完全忽略 ndbinfo 数据库，并将其排除在任何输出中。这是使用--databases 或--all- databases 选项时也一样的。

NDB 集群还维护了 INFORMATION_ SCHEMA 信息数据库中的表，包括FILES 表，该表包含 NDB 集群磁盘数据存储所用的文件信息，以及ndb_ transid_mysql_connection_map 表，该表显示事务、事务协调器和 NDB 集群 API 节点之间的关系。更多信息，请参阅表的描述或第25.6.18节，“NDB 集群 INFORMATION_SCHEMA 表”。
