Information Schema TEMP_TABLES_INFO Table

MariaDB 10.2.2 - 10.2.3

The TEMP_TABLES_INFO table was introduced in MariaDB 10.2.2 and was removed in MariaDB 10.2.4. See MDEV-12459 progress on an alternative.

The Information Schema TEMP_TABLES_INFO table contains information about active InnoDB temporary tables. All user and system-created temporary tables are reported when querying this table, with the exception of optimized internal temporary tables. The data is stored in memory.

Previously, InnoDB temp table metadata was rather stored in InnoDB system tables.

It has the following columns:

ColumnDescription
TABLE_IDTable ID.
NAMETable name.
N_COLSNumber of columns in the temporary table, including three hidden columns that InnoDB creates (DB_ROW_ID, DB_TRX_ID, and DB_ROLL_PTR).
SPACENumerical identifier for the tablespace identifier holding the temporary table. Compressed temporary tables are stored by default in separate per-table tablespaces in the temporary file directory. For non-compressed tables, the shared temporary table is named ibtmp1, found in the data directory. Always a non-zero value, and regenerated on server restart.
PER_TABLE_TABLESPACEIf TRUE, the temporary table resides in a separate per-table tablespace. If FALSE, it resides in the shared temporary tablespace.
IS_COMPRESSEDTRUE if the table is compressed.

The PROCESS privilege is required to view the table.

Examples

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t (i INT) ENGINE=INNODB;

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO;
+----------+--------------+--------+-------+----------------------+---------------+
| TABLE_ID | NAME         | N_COLS | SPACE | PER_TABLE_TABLESPACE | IS_COMPRESSED |
+----------+--------------+--------+-------+----------------------+---------------+
|       39 | #sql1c93_3_1 |      4 |    64 | FALSE                | FALSE         |
+----------+--------------+--------+-------+----------------------+---------------+

Adding a compressed table:

SET GLOBAL innodb_file_format="Barracuda";

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t2 (i INT) ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED ENGINE=INNODB;

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO;
+----------+--------------+--------+-------+----------------------+---------------+
| TABLE_ID | NAME         | N_COLS | SPACE | PER_TABLE_TABLESPACE | IS_COMPRESSED |
+----------+--------------+--------+-------+----------------------+---------------+
|       40 | #sql1c93_3_3 |      4 |    65 | TRUE                 | TRUE          |
|       39 | #sql1c93_3_1 |      4 |    64 | FALSE                | FALSE         |
+----------+--------------+--------+-------+----------------------+---------------+
