SHOW PLUGINS

List installed server plugins. View the name, status, type, and library file for each active plugin.

Syntax

SHOW PLUGINS;

Description

SHOW PLUGINS displays information about installed plugins. The Library column indicates the plugin library - if it is NULL, the plugin is built-in and cannot be uninstalled.

The PLUGINS table in the information_schema database contains more detailed information.

For specific information about storage engines (a particular type of plugin), see the information_schema.ENGINES table and the SHOW ENGINES statement.
