SHOW INDEX
returns table index information. The format resembles that of the SQLStatistics
call in ODBC. This statement requires some privilege for any column in the table.
mysql> SHOW INDEX FROM City\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: city Non_unique: 0 Key_name: PRIMARY Seq_in_index: 1 Column_name: ID Collation: A Cardinality: 4188 Sub_part: NULL Packed: NULL Null: Index_type: BTREE Comment: Index_comment: Visible: YES Expression: NULL *************************** 2. row *************************** Table: city Non_unique: 1 Key_name: CountryCode Seq_in_index: 1 Column_name: CountryCode Collation: A Cardinality: 232 Sub_part: NULL Packed: NULL Null: Index_type: BTREE Comment: Index_comment: Visible: YES Expression: NULL
An alternative to <em><code>tbl_name
FROM db_name
syntax is db_name
.tbl_name
. These two statements are equivalent:
SHOW INDEX FROM mytable FROM mydb; SHOW INDEX FROM mydb.mytable;
The optional EXTENDED
keyword causes the output to include information about hidden indexes that MySQL uses internally and are not accessible by users.
The WHERE
clause can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Section 25.49, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”.
SHOW INDEX
returns the following fields:
Table
The name of the table.
Non_unique
0 if the index cannot contain duplicates, 1 if it can.
Key_name
The name of the index. If the index is the primary key, the name is always PRIMARY
.
Seq_in_index
The column sequence number in the index, starting with 1.
Column_name
The column name. See also the description for the Expression
column.
Collation
How the column is sorted in the index. This can have values A
(ascending), D
(descending), or NULL
(not sorted).
Cardinality
An estimate of the number of unique values in the index. To update this number, run ANALYZE TABLE
or (for MyISAM
tables) myisamchk -a.
Cardinality
is counted based on statistics stored as integers, so the value is not necessarily exact even for small tables. The higher the cardinality, the greater the chance that MySQL uses the index when doing joins.
Sub_part
The index prefix. That is, the number of indexed characters if the column is only partly indexed, NULL
if the entire column is indexed.
Prefix limits are measured in bytes. However, prefix lengths for index specifications in CREATE TABLE
, ALTER TABLE
, and CREATE INDEX
statements are interpreted as number of characters for nonbinary string types (CHAR
, VARCHAR
, TEXT
) and number of bytes for binary string types (BINARY
, VARBINARY
, BLOB
). Take this into account when specifying a prefix length for a nonbinary string column that uses a multibyte character set.
For additional information about index prefixes, see Section 8.3.5, “Column Indexes”, and Section 13.1.15, “CREATE INDEX Statement”.
Packed
Indicates how the key is packed. NULL
if it is not.
NULL
Contains YES
if the column may contain NULL
values and ‘‘
if not.
Index_type
The index method used (BTREE
, FULLTEXT
, HASH
, RTREE
).
Comment
Information about the index not described in its own column, such as disabled
if the index is disabled.
Index_comment
Any comment provided for the index with a Comment
attribute when the index was created.
Visible
Whether the index is visible to the optimizer. See Section 8.3.12, “Invisible Indexes”.
Expression
MySQL 8.0.13 and higher supports functional key parts (see Functional Key Parts), which affects both the Column_name
and Expression
columns:
For a nonfunctional key part, Column_name
indicates the column indexed by the key part and Expression
is NULL
.
For a functional key part, Column_name
column is NULL
and Expression
indicates the expression for the key part.
Information about table indexes is also available from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
STATISTICS
table. See Section 25.32, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA STATISTICS Table”. The extended information about hidden indexes is available only using SHOW EXTENDED INDEX
; it cannot be obtained from the STATISTICS
table.
You can list a table‘s indexes with the mysqlshow -k db_name
tbl_name
command.
The STATISTICS
table provides information about table indexes.
Columns in STATISTICS
that represent table statistics hold cached values. The information_schema_stats_expiry
system variable defines the period of time before cached table statistics expire. The default is 86400 seconds (24 hours). If there are no cached statistics or statistics have expired, statistics are retrieved from storage engines when querying table statistics columns. To update cached values at any time for a given table, use ANALYZE TABLE
. To always retrieve the latest statistics directly from storage engines, set information_schema_stats_expiry=0
. For more information, see Section 8.2.3, “Optimizing INFORMATION_SCHEMA Queries”.
If the innodb_read_only
system variable is enabled, ANALYZE TABLE
may fail because it cannot update statistics tables in the data dictionary, which use InnoDB
. For ANALYZE TABLE
operations that update the key distribution, failure may occur even if the operation updates the table itself (for example, if it is a MyISAM
table). To obtain the updated distribution statistics, set information_schema_stats_expiry=0
.
The STATISTICS
table has these columns:
TABLE_CATALOG
The name of the catalog to which the table containing the index belongs. This value is always def
.
TABLE_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the table containing the index belongs.
TABLE_NAME
The name of the table containing the index.
Non_unique
0 if the index cannot contain duplicates, 1 if it can.
INDEX_SCHEMA
The name of the schema (database) to which the index belongs.
INDEX_NAME
The name of the index. If the index is the primary key, the name is always PRIMARY
.
Seq_in_index
The column sequence number in the index, starting with 1.
Column_name
The column name. See also the description for the Expression
column.
Collation
How the column is sorted in the index. This can have values A
(ascending), D
(descending), or NULL
(not sorted).
Cardinality
An estimate of the number of unique values in the index. To update this number, run ANALYZE TABLE
or (for MyISAM
tables) myisamchk -a.
Cardinality
is counted based on statistics stored as integers, so the value is not necessarily exact even for small tables. The higher the cardinality, the greater the chance that MySQL uses the index when doing joins.
Sub_part
The index prefix. That is, the number of indexed characters if the column is only partly indexed, NULL
if the entire column is indexed.
Prefix limits are measured in bytes. However, prefix lengths for index specifications in CREATE TABLE
, ALTER TABLE
, and CREATE INDEX
statements are interpreted as number of characters for nonbinary string types (CHAR
, VARCHAR
, TEXT
) and number of bytes for binary string types (BINARY
, VARBINARY
, BLOB
). Take this into account when specifying a prefix length for a nonbinary string column that uses a multibyte character set.
For additional information about index prefixes, see Section 8.3.5, “Column Indexes”, and Section 13.1.15, “CREATE INDEX Statement”.
Packed
Indicates how the key is packed. NULL
if it is not.
NULLABLE
Contains YES
if the column may contain NULL
values and ‘‘
if not.
Index_type
The index method used (BTREE
, FULLTEXT
, HASH
, RTREE
).
Comment
Information about the index not described in its own column, such as disabled
if the index is disabled.
Index_comment
Any comment provided for the index with a Comment
attribute when the index was created.
IS_VISIBLE
Whether the index is visible to the optimizer. See Section 8.3.12, “Invisible Indexes”.
Expression
MySQL 8.0.13 and higher supports functional key parts (see Functional Key Parts), which affects both the Column_name
and Expression
columns:
For a nonfunctional key part, Column_name
indicates the column indexed by the key part and Expression
is NULL
.
For a functional key part, Column_name
column is NULL
and Expression
indicates the expression for the key part.
There is no standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA
table for indexes. The MySQL column list is similar to what SQL Server 2000 returns for sp_statistics
, except that QUALIFIER
and OWNER
are replaced with CATALOG
and SCHEMA
, respectively.
Information about table indexes is also available from the SHOW INDEX
statement. See Section 13.7.7.22, “SHOW INDEX Statement”. The following statements are equivalent:
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS WHERE table_name = ‘tbl_name‘ AND table_schema = ‘db_name‘ SHOW INDEX FROM tbl_name FROM db_name
