# Information Schema TABLE\_CONSTRAINTS Table

The [Information Schema](/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema.md) `TABLE_CONSTRAINTS` table contains information about tables that have [constraints](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/data-definition/constraint.md).

It has the following columns:
