CLUSTER_SESSION_STATS
The cluster_session_stats table contains per-session statistics about transactions and statement types.
DATABASES
The databases table contains one row for each database in the system. Its columns are as follows:

| Name of the database. |

| An internal value that encodes the character set and collation sequence utilized by a given database. To translate this encoded value to English, a special function is available as follows: SELECT OIDTYPE_CSCL_PROP(cscl, 'charset')
FROM system.databases
WHERE name = 'sample';
SELECT OIDTYPE_CSCL_PROP(cscl, 'collation')
FROM system.databases
WHERE name = 'sample';

GTM_COORD
The gtm_coord table contains a row for each open transaction.
INTERNODE_LATENCY_HISTOGRAM
The internode_latency_histogram table stores histograms of node to node network latencies.
MYSQL_MASTER_STATUS
The mysql_master_status table stores information about each replication slave that is currently connected to the cluster.
MYSQL_SLAVE_STATS
The mysql_slave_stats table contains information related to replication when Xpand is configured for in-bound replication
PARTITION_SIZES
The partition_sizes table provides a list of partitions and their sizes.

REBALANCER_ACTIVITY_LOG
The rebalancer_activity_log table contains a detailed log of Rebalancer actions and the reasons for those actions. For additional information, see "Manage the Rebalancer for MariaDB Xpand".
REBALANCER_SUMMARY
The cluster performs ongoing optimization tasks in background mode. In rare cases, this background activity might affect query performance. In such cases, the Rebalancer, which moves data between disks and nodes to ensure even distribution, is a likely source. Rebalancing typically runs after an import, and occasionally runs as disk utilization increases. Because Rebalancer sessions can be brief, the rebalancer_activity_log table is a better source for detailed information.
Values returned in the action column are as follows:
Action | Description |
|---|---|
| A slice has grown too large and is being split into two smaller slices. |
| A slice is being moved to another disk or node to optimize the load. |
| A slice is being duplicated, usually during the reprotection stage after a hardware failure. |
For more information about Xpand Rebalancer tasks, see "Rebalancer Tasks for MariaDB Xpand".
The rebalancer_activity_log table contains a detailed log of Rebalancer actions and the reasons for those actions. For additional information, see "Manage the Rebalancer for MariaDB Xpand".
RELATIONS
The relations table contains one row for each table in the system.
REPRESENTATIONS
The representations table contains one row per representation in the system. Each relation and each index on that relation constitutes a representation. The base column indicates when the representation is the Base Representation.
ROLES
The roles table contains the names of all roles on the Xpand cluster.
ROLES_MAPPING
The roles_mapping table contains the mapping between roles and and user specifications, including whether the user was granted WITH ADMIN for the role.
SESSION_ROLES
The session_roles table contains the list of roles available to a session.
SESSIONS
The sessions table contains information about all currently connected and recently disconnected client sessions.
STATS
The stats table contains internally-collected statistics about database and cluster performance. Most of these statistics are for internal use, but some are of general interest.
SYSTEM_USERS
The system_users table contains information on database users, host, and password combinations.
TABLE_REPLICAS
The table_replicas table contains one row for each replica in the system and records each replica's size and node. This table can be used to determine the total calculated size of an index and to find poorly-distributed indexes. each slice is replicated two or more times and each replica resides on a different node. Each replica of a slice contains the same data.
TABLE_SIZES
The table_sizes table records the total size of each table in bytes, including its base representation and all of its indexes.
TABLE_SLICES
Representations are split into slices and distributed throughout your cluster. The table_slices table enumerates those slices and indexes and contains one row for each slice in each table.
Each slice contains a unique set of rows from the table. The complete table is represented by assembling all the rows from the table slices. The rows are allocated to slices using a hash that is based on the row's index or indices. The number of slices per table depends on many factors including the size of the cluster. To configure this setting, issue the ALTER TABLE SET SLICES = <N> command. Changing the slice count can improve performance. For details, contact MariaDB support.
Note
To display the names of the database, table, and indexes for each slice, join on the slice column.
USERS
The users table contains database user, host, and password combinations. Join to this table to display user names instead of user ids. For additional information, see "Database User Accounts for MariaDB Xpand".
USER_ROLE_LINKS
The user_role_links table stores a mapping between roles and user specifications, including whether the role is a default role for the user.
VDEV_IO_LATENCY_HISTOGRAM
The vdev_io_latency_histogram table stores a histogram that tracks disk latency.

VERSION_HISTORY
The version_history table provides a history of installation and upgrade versions.
