# Information Schema INNODB\_FT\_BEING\_DELETED Table

This table is used only during an OPTIMIZE TABLE operation to store the document IDs of rows currently being deleted from an InnoDB FULLTEXT index.

The [Information Schema](/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema.md) `INNODB_FT_BEING_DELETED` table is only used while document ID's in the related [INNODB\_FT\_DELETED](/docs/server/reference/system-tables/information-schema/information-schema-tables/information-schema-innodb-tables/information-schema-innodb_ft_deleted-table.md) are being removed from an InnoDB [fulltext index](/docs/server/ha-and-performance/optimization-and-tuning/optimization-and-indexes/full-text-indexes.md) while an [OPTIMIZE TABLE](/docs/server/ha-and-performance/optimization-and-tuning/optimizing-tables/optimize-table.md) is underway. At all other times the table will be empty.

The `SUPER` [privilege](/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/account-management-sql-statements/grant.md) is required to view the table, and it also requires the [innodb\_ft\_aux\_table](/docs/server/server-usage/storage-engines/innodb/innodb-system-variables.md#innodb_ft_aux_table) system variable to be set.

It has the following column:

| Column  | Description                                                                                                                              |
| ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| DOC\_ID | Document ID of the row being deleted. Either an underlying ID value, or a sequence value generated by InnoDB if no usable option exists. |
