25.5.27 ndb_show_tables — Display List of NDB Tables

ndb_show_tables displays a list of allNDB database objects in the cluster. By default, this includes not only both user-created tables andNDB system tables, butNDB-specific indexes, internal triggers, and NDB Cluster Disk Data objects as well.

Options that can be used withndb_show_tables are shown in the following table. Additional descriptions follow the table.

ndb_show_tables [-cconnection_string]

  • --ndb-connectstring

    Command-Line Format--ndb-connectstring=connection_string
    TypeString
    Default Value[none]

    Set connection string for connecting tondb_mgmd. Syntax:[nodeid=id;][host=]hostname[:port]. Overrides entries inNDB_CONNECTSTRING andmy.cnf.

  • --ndb-mgm-tls

    Command-Line Format--ndb-mgm-tls=level
    TypeEnumeration
    Default Valuerelaxed
    Valid Values

    relaxed

    strict

    Sets the level of TLS support required to connect to the management server; one ofrelaxed orstrict.relaxed (the default) means that a TLS connection is attempted, but success is not required;strict means that TLS is required to connect.

  • --ndb-mgmd-host

    Command-Line Format--ndb-mgmd-host=connection_string
    TypeString
    Default Value[none]

    Same as--ndb-connectstring.

  • --ndb-nodeid

    Command-Line Format--ndb-nodeid=#
    TypeInteger

  • --ndb-optimized-node-selection

  • --ndb-tls-search-path

    Command-Line Format--ndb-tls-search-path=list
    TypePath name
    Default Value (Unix)$HOME/ndb-tls
    Default Value (Windows)$HOMEDIR/ndb-tls

    Specify a list of directories to search for a CA file. On Unix platforms, the directory names are separated by colons (:); on Windows systems, the semicolon character (;) is used as the separator. A directory reference may be relative or absolute; it may contain one or more environment variables, each denoted by a prefixed dollar sign ($), and expanded prior to use.

    Searching begins with the leftmost named directory and proceeds from left to right until a file is found. An empty string denotes an empty search path, which causes all searches to fail. A string consisting of a single dot (.) indicates that the search path limited to the current working directory.

    If no search path is supplied, the compiled-in default value is used. This value depends on the platform used: On Windows, this is\ndb-tls; on other platforms (including Linux), it is$HOME/ndb-tls. This can be overridden by compiling NDB Cluster using-DWITH_NDB_TLS_SEARCH_PATH.

  • --no-defaults

    Command-Line Format--no-defaults

    Do not read default options from any option file other than login file.

  • --parsable,-p

    If specified, this causes temporary tables to be displayed.

  • --type,-t

    Can be used to restrict the output to one type of object, specified by an integer type code as shown here:

    • 1: System table

    • 2: User-created table

    • 3: Unique hash index

    Any other value causes allNDB database objects to be listed (the default).

  • --unqualified,-u

    If specified, this causes unqualified object names to be displayed.

  • --usage

    Command-Line Format--usage

    Display help text and exit; same as--help.

  • --version

    Command-Line Format--version

    Display version information and exit.

Note

Only user-created NDB Cluster tables may be accessed from MySQL; system tables such asSYSTAB_0 are not visible tomysqld. However, you can examine the contents of system tables usingNDB API applications such asndb_select_all (seeSection 25.5.25, “ndb_select_all — Print Rows from an NDB Table”).
