# Information Schema INNODB\_SYS\_FIELDS Table

The [Information Schema](/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema.md) `INNODB_SYS_FIELDS` table contains information about fields that are part of an InnoDB index.

The `PROCESS` [privilege](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/account-management-sql-statements/grant.md) is required to view the table.

It has the following columns:

| Column    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| INDEX\_ID | Index identifier, matching the value from [INNODB\_SYS\_INDEXES.INDEX\_ID](/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-innodb-tables/information-schema-innodb_sys_indexes-table.md). |
| NAME      | Field name, matching the value from [INNODB\_SYS\_COLUMNS.NAME](/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-innodb-tables/information-schema-innodb_sys_columns-table.md).            |
| POS       | Ordinal position of the field within the index, starting from 0. This is adjusted as columns are removed.                                                                                                                                      |
