mysql.innodb_index_stats

The mysql.innodb_index_stats table stores persistent index statistics for InnoDB, allowing optimizer plans to remain stable across restarts.

The mysql.innodb_index_stats table stores data related to particular InnoDB Persistent Statistics, and contains multiple rows for each index.

This table, along with the related mysql.innodb_table_stats table, can be manually updated in order to force or test differing query optimization plans. After updating, FLUSH TABLE innodb_index_stats is required to load the changes.

mysql.innodb_index_stats is not replicated, although any ANALYZE TABLE statements on the table will be by default..

It contains the following fields:

Field	Type	Null	Key	Default	Description
database_name	varchar(64)	NO	PRI	NULL	Database name.
table_name	varchar(64)	NO	PRI	NULL	Table, partition or subpartition name.
index_name	varchar(64)	NO	PRI	NULL	Index name.
last_update	timestamp	NO		current_timestamp()	Time that this row was last updated.
stat_name	varchar(64)	NO	PRI	NULL	Statistic name.
stat_value	bigint(20) unsigned	NO		NULL	Estimated statistic value.
sample_size	bigint(20) unsigned	YES		NULL	Number of pages sampled for the estimated statistic value.
stat_description	varchar(1024)	NO		NULL	Statistic description.
