17.4.18. ndb_show_tables — Display List of NDB Tables

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

The following table includes command options specific to the MySQL Cluster program ndb_show_tables. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to all MySQL Cluster programs, see Section 17.4.21, “Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs”.

Table 17.15. ndb_show_tables Command Line Options

Format Description Introduction Deprecated Removed
--database=string Specifies the database in which the table is found      
--loops=# Number of times to repeat output      
--parsable Return output suitable for MySQL LOAD DATA INFILE statement      
--show-temp-status Show table temporary flag      
--type=# Limit output to objects of this type      
--unqualified Do not qualify table names      

Usage: 

ndb_show_tables [-c connect_string]

Additional Options:

  • --database, -d

    Specifies the name of the database in which the tables are found.

  • --loops, -l

    Specifies the number of times the utility should execute. This is 1 when this option is not specified, but if you do use the option, you must supply an integer argument for it.

  • --parsable, -p

    Using this option causes the output to be in a format suitable for use with LOAD DATA INFILE.

  • --show-temp-status

    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 all NDB database objects to be listed (the default).

  • --unqualified, -u

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

Note

Only user-created Cluster tables may be accessed from MySQL; system tables such as SYSTAB_0 are not visible to mysqld. However, you can examine the contents of system tables using NDB API applications such as ndb_select_all (see Section 17.4.16, “ndb_select_all — Print Rows from an NDB Table”).
