28.4.27 The INFORMATION_SCHEMA INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO Table

TheINNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table provides information about user-createdInnoDB temporary tables that are active in anInnoDB instance. It does not provide information about internalInnoDB temporary tables used by the optimizer. TheINNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table is created when first queried, exists only in memory, and is not persisted to disk.

For usage information and examples, seeSection 17.15.7, “InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA Temporary Table Info Table”.

TheINNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table has these columns:

  • TABLE_ID

    The table ID of the temporary table.

  • NAME

    The name of the temporary table.

  • N_COLS

    The number of columns in the temporary table. The number includes three hidden columns created byInnoDB (DB_ROW_ID,DB_TRX_ID, andDB_ROLL_PTR).

  • SPACE

    The 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
