Preface
If you’re contemplating whether to devote some time to this book, read this:
MariaDB Server is a general-purpose, open source, relational database management system, optimised for
performance and easy usabiility; it has its roots in MySQL Server, and is an alternative to Postgres, Oracle Database
and other relational and NoSQL databases
This book is the full documentation on MariaDB Server, a “Reference Manual Plus” which includes aspects of a User’s
Guide; it is based on the contents of the MariaDB Knowledge base (https://mariadb.com/kb/ ), an open, community-
edited site contributed to since the inception of MariaDB in 2009
This edition is not specific to any version of MariaDB Server, but includes functionality up to the latest version of
MariaDB at the time of generation
This preface describes the goals, structure and contents of the documentation. Reading it is intended as a helpful step in
understanding how to best use the manual to improve productivity in using MariaDB Server.

Use Cases For This Book
We expect the main use case for the PDF version of the book to be offline access. Offline may be imposed by a flaky or non-
existent internet, but also by self-imposed abstinence from the many distractions of being online.
We expect that browsing the PDF will enable concentrated time to be spent on learning about MariaDB Server. The search
functionality of PDF browsers helps in finding out about commands and syntax you already know of; browsing through a PDF
– in particular the clickable Table of Contents – will hopefully provide you with an educational overview better than the online
KB does.
We expect downloading the manual into laptops, tablets and phones will make sense. If you have the MariaDB Server
Documentation on your phone, you can turn waiting time into something productive, perhaps even fun.
Give Us Feedback
We would like to pick the brains of individual users. At conferences, asking open-ended questions is easy and feels
productive for both parties, when meeting in the corridors between talks. Replicating the same productive discussion on-line
is much harder. It takes effort from both parties. It feels like work.
We are still looking for the best way for you to give us meaningful feedback. Feel free to approach us over Zulip
(https://mariadb.zulipchat.com/ – the Documentation topic). Also email to [email protected] will find its way to us.
When you find individual bugs, please enter them into Jira using the guidelines mentioned in the KB article
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-documentation-bugs/.
Acknowledgements
Compiling any book requires more effort than expected by the authors, and more than visible to the readers. This book is no
exception. It has been over ten years in the making.
The primary thanks go to Ian Gilfillan, as the overall editor of the book and as the individually most productive author.
Close to Ian, we have Daniel Bartholomew. Daniel even beats Ian when it comes to articles created, and comes second on
articles edited.
Among the community contributors, we want to highlight Federico Razzoli. He has two accounts, totalling 4488, at the time of
writing – making him rank third amongst personal contributors.
When it comes to organisational contributors, the largest one is MariaDB Corporation. With them coding most of the features,
they also stand for the lion’s share of their documentation. As writers, besides Daniel Bartholomew whom we already
mentioned several times, we want to highlight Russell Dyer, Kenneth Dyer, Geoff Montee, and Jacob Moorman.
As the developer of the KB software itself, Bryan Alsdorf deserves special acknowledgement.
A special thanks goes to Michael “Monty” Widenius, the creator of MariaDB. Monty has always understood the importance of
documentation. He is leading by example, with a large number of personal edits. In fact, Monty has the second highest
number of edits amongst developers, after Sergei Golubchik and followed by Sergey Petrunia – all of which have over a
thousand edits.
Amongst the prolific contributors within the MariaDB Corporation Engineering team, the Connectors team stands out, with
Diego Dupin, Georg Richter, and Lawrin Novitzky ranking near the top. However, we have decided not to include Connectors
documentation in this first edition; we are contemplating whether it should be a separate PDF manual.
Other past and present Engineering team members, in decreasing order of number of edits, are David Hill, Dipti Joshi, David
Thompson, Massimiliano Pinto, Kolbe Kegel, Vladislav Vaintroub, Ralf Gebhardt, Markus Mäkelä, Sunanda Menon, the late
Rasmus Johansson, Todd Stoffel, Elena Stepanova, Julien Fritsch, and Alexander Barkov. They all have more than one
hundred edits, which is a lot.
As a true Open Source project, MariaDB Server documentation attracts attention and plentiful contributions also from outside
4/3812
the MariaDB Corporation Documentation and Engineering teams. We want to highlight those with over a hundred edits: Colin
Charles and Stephane Varoqui, both of MariaDB Corporation, and Daniel Black, of MariaDB Foundation.
Amongst community contributors in the over-a-hundred-edits category, we want to mention especially Alena Subotina, with
edits related to the dbforge documentation tool, and Juan Telleria, with edits often related to R Statistical Programming.
Prolific contributors whose contributions are not visible in this English manual are Esper Ecyan (Japanese) and Hector
Stredel (French); Federico Razzoli (Italian) has many edits also in English.
We also want to extend a thank you to the code developers who make work easy for the documentation team through
thoroughly prepared, reusable texts in Jira; in this category, Marko Mäkelä and Oleksandr Byelkin come to mind.
As for the PDF manual, it has been teamwork between Ian and his son Dorje Gilfillan. Ian has done what editors do, Dorje
has coded the Python code that compiles the KB pages into one.
All in all, thank you to everyone who has contributed to this book! We hope compiling it into one volume is of use for you, and
we would love to hear what you think about the end result.

Description
47/3812
The CREATE USER statement creates new MariaDB accounts. To use it, you must have the global CREATE USER
privilege or the INSERT privilege for the mysql database. For each account, CREATE USER creates a new row in
mysql.user (until MariaDB 10.3 this is a table, from MariaDB 10.4 it's a view) or mysql.global_priv_table (from MariaDB
10.4) that has no privileges.
If any of the specified accounts, or any permissions for the specified accounts, already exist, then the server returns
ERROR 1396 (HY000) . If an error occurs, CREATE USER will still create the accounts that do not result in an error. Only
one error is produced for all users which have not been created:
CREATE USER , DROP USER, CREATE ROLE, and DROP ROLE all produce the same error code when they fail.
See Account Names below for details on how account names are specified.
OR REPLACE
If the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it is basically a shortcut for:
For example:
IF NOT EXISTS
When the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of an error if the specified user already
exists.
For example:
SHOW WARNINGS;
+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+
| Note | 1973 | Can't create user 'foo2'@'test'; it already exists |
+-------+------+----------------------------------------------------+
Authentication Options
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
The optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a password. The password should be
specified in plain text. It will be hashed by the PASSWORD function prior to being stored in the
mysql.user/mysql.global_priv_table table.
For example, if our password is mariadb , then we can create the user with:
If you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will be able to connect without a password. A
blank password is not a wildcard to match any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no
password is set.
The only authentication plugins that this clause supports are mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.
SELECT PASSWORD('mariadb');
+-------------------------------------------+
| PASSWORD('mariadb') |
+-------------------------------------------+
| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |
+-------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will be able to connect without a password. A
blank password is not a wildcard to match any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no
password is set.
The only authentication plugins that this clause supports are mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.
Some authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a USING or AS keyword. For example, the
PAM authentication plugin accepts a service name:
The exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific authentication plugin.
By default, when you create a user without specifying an authentication plugin, MariaDB uses the
mysql_native_password plugin.
TLS Options
By default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without encrypting it. This is generally acceptable
when the server and client run on the same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.
However, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or they are in a high-risk network, the lack of
encryption does introduce security concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the traffic as it is sent
over the network between them.
To mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit between the server and clients using the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly speaking
the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the protocol is now considered insecure. The
documentation still uses the term SSL often and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status
49/3812
variables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its secure successors.
See Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine whether your MariaDB server has TLS
support.
You can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For instance, you might use this with user
accounts that require access to sensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These
restrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER USER, or GRANT statements. The
following options are available:
Option Description
REQUIRE
TLS is not required for this account, but can still be used.
NONE
REQUIRE The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required. This option cannot be combined
SSL with other TLS options.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. This option implies REQUIRE SSL .
X509 This option cannot be combined with other TLS options.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate Authority must be
ISSUER the one specified via the string issuer . This option implies REQUIRE X509 . This option can be combined
'issuer' with the SUBJECT , and CIPHER options in any order.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the certificate's Subject must be
SUBJECT the one specified via the string subject . This option implies REQUIRE X509 . This option can be
'subject' combined with the ISSUER , and CIPHER options in any order.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required. Also, the encryption used for the
CIPHER connection must use a specific cipher method specified in the string cipher . This option implies
'cipher' REQUIRE SSL . This option can be combined with the ISSUER , and SUBJECT options in any order.
The REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the AND keyword can be used to separate
individual options, but it is not required.
For example, you can create a user account that requires these TLS options with the following:
If any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client who tries to connect with that user account will
have to be configured to connect with TLS.
See Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to enable TLS on the client and server.
If any of these limits are set to 0 , then there is no limit for that resource for that user.
Here is an example showing how to create a user with resource limits:
The resources are tracked per account, which means 'user'@'server' ; not per user name or per connection.
50/3812
The count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH PRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.
Per account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql database. Columns used for resources limits are
named max_questions , max_updates , max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR ), and
max_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS ).
Account Names
Account names have both a user name component and a host name component, and are specified as
'user_name'@'host_name' .
The user name and host name may be unquoted, quoted as strings using double quotes ( " ) or single quotes ( ' ), or
quoted as identifiers using backticks ( ` ). You must use quotes when using special characters (such as a hyphen) or
wildcard characters. If you quote, you must quote the user name and host name separately (for example
'user_name'@'host_name' ).
51/3812
+---------+-------------+
| User | Host |
+---------+-------------+
| joffrey | 192.168.0.3 |
| | 192.168.0.% |
| joffrey | 192.168.% |
| | 192.168.% |
+---------+-------------+
Once connected, you only have the privileges granted to the account that matched, not all accounts that could have
matched. For example, consider the following commands:
If you connect as joffrey from 192.168.0.3 , you will have the SELECT privilege on the table test.t1 , but not on the
table test.t2 . If you connect as joffrey from any other IP address, you will have the SELECT privilege on the table
test.t2 , but not on the table test.t1 .
Usernames can be up to 80 characters long before 10.6 and starting from 10.6 it can be 128 characters long.
Anonymous Accounts
Anonymous accounts are accounts where the user name portion of the account name is empty. These accounts act as
special catch-all accounts. If a user attempts to log into the system from a host, and an anonymous account exists with a
host name portion that matches the user's host, then the user will log in as the anonymous account if there is no more
specific account match for the user name that the user entered.
For example, here are some anonymous accounts:
The fix is to DELETE the row in the mysql.db table and then execute FLUSH PRIVILEGES:
Password Expiry
MariaDB starting with 10.4.3
Besides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime, password expiry times can be set
on an individual user basis, overriding the global setting, for example:
CREATE USER 'monty'@'localhost' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;
52/3812
Account Locking
MariaDB starting with 10.4.2
Account locking permits privileged administrators to lock/unlock user accounts. No new client connections will be
permitted if an account is locked (existing connections are not affected). For example:
CREATE USER 'marijn'@'localhost' ACCOUNT LOCK;
From MariaDB 10.4.7 and MariaDB 10.5.8, the lock_option and password_option clauses can occur in either order.

Description
The ALTER USER statement modifies existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you must have the global CREATE USER
privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the mysql database. The global SUPER privilege is also required if the read_only
system variable is enabled.
If any of the specified user accounts do not yet exist, an error results. If an error occurs, ALTER USER will still modify the
accounts that do not result in an error. Only one error is produced for all users which have not been modified.
54/3812
IF EXISTS
When the IF EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of an error for each specified user that
does not exist.
Account Names
For ALTER USER statements, account names are specified as the username argument in the same way as they are for
CREATE USER statements. See account names from the CREATE USER page for details on how account names are
specified.
CURRENT_USER or CURRENT_USER() can also be used to alter the account logged into the current session. For
example, to change the current user's password to mariadb :
Authentication Options
MariaDB starting with 10.4
From MariaDB 10.4, it is possible to use more than one authentication plugin for each user account. For example, this
can be useful to slowly migrate users to the more secure ed25519 authentication plugin over time, while allowing the
old mysql_native_password authentication plugin as an alternative for the transitional period. See Authentication from
MariaDB 10.4 for more.
When running ALTER USER , not specifying an authentication option in the IDENTIFIED VIA clause will remove that
authentication method. (However this was not the case before MariaDB 10.4.13, see MDEV-21928 )
For example, a user is created with the ability to authenticate via both a password and unix_socket:
CREATE USER 'bob'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password USING PASSWORD('pwd')
OR unix_socket;
If the user's password is updated, but unix_socket authentication is not specified in the IDENTIFIED VIA clause,
unix_socket authentication will no longer be permitted.
ALTER USER 'bob'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED VIA mysql_native_password
USING PASSWORD('pwd2');
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
The optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a password. The password should be
specified in plain text. It will be hashed by the PASSWORD function prior to being stored to the mysql.user table.
For example, if our password is mariadb , then we can set the account's password with:
If you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will be able to connect without a password. A
blank password is not a wildcard to match any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no
password is set.
The only authentication plugins that this clause supports are mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.
SELECT PASSWORD('mariadb');
+-------------------------------------------+
| PASSWORD('mariadb') |
+-------------------------------------------+
| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |
+-------------------------------------------+
If you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will be able to connect without a password. A
blank password is not a wildcard to match any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no
password is set.
The only authentication plugins that this clause supports are mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.
Some authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a USING or AS keyword. For example, the
PAM authentication plugin accepts a service name:
The exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific authentication plugin.
In MariaDB 10.4 and later, the USING or AS keyword can also be used to provide a plain-text password to a plugin if it's
provided as an argument to the PASSWORD() function. This is only valid for authentication plugins that have
implemented a hook for the PASSWORD() function. For example, the ed25519 authentication plugin supports this:
TLS Options
By default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without encrypting it. This is generally acceptable
when the server and client run on the same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.
However, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or they are in a high-risk network, the lack of
encryption does introduce security concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the traffic as it is sent
over the network between them.
To mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit between the server and clients using the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly speaking
the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the protocol is now considered insecure. The
documentation still uses the term SSL often and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status
variables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its secure successors.
See Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine whether your MariaDB server has TLS
support.
You can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For instance, you might use this with user
accounts that require access to sensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These
restrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER USER, or GRANT statements. The
following options are available:
Option Description
REQUIRE
TLS is not required for this account, but can still be used.
NONE
REQUIRE The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required. This option cannot be combined
SSL with other TLS options.
56/3812
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. This option implies REQUIRE SSL .
X509 This option cannot be combined with other TLS options.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate Authority must be
ISSUER the one specified via the string issuer . This option implies REQUIRE X509 . This option can be combined
'issuer' with the SUBJECT , and CIPHER options in any order.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the certificate's Subject must be
SUBJECT the one specified via the string subject . This option implies REQUIRE X509 . This option can be
'subject' combined with the ISSUER , and CIPHER options in any order.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required. Also, the encryption used for the
CIPHER connection must use a specific cipher method specified in the string cipher . This option implies
'cipher' REQUIRE SSL . This option can be combined with the ISSUER , and SUBJECT options in any order.
The REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the AND keyword can be used to separate
individual options, but it is not required.
For example, you can alter a user account to require these TLS options with the following:
If any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client who tries to connect with that user account will
have to be configured to connect with TLS.
See Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to enable TLS on the client and server.
If any of these limits are set to 0 , then there is no limit for that resource for that user.
Here is an example showing how to set an account's resource limits:
The resources are tracked per account, which means 'user'@'server' ; not per user name or per connection.
The count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH PRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.
Per account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql database. Columns used for resources limits are
named max_questions , max_updates , max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR ), and
max_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS ).
Password Expiry
MariaDB starting with 10.4.3
Besides automatic password expiry, as determined by default_password_lifetime, password expiry times can be set
on an individual user basis, overriding the global setting, for example:
ALTER USER 'monty'@'localhost' PASSWORD EXPIRE INTERVAL 120 DAY;
ALTER USER 'monty'@'localhost' PASSWORD EXPIRE NEVER;
ALTER USER 'monty'@'localhost' PASSWORD EXPIRE DEFAULT;
57/3812
See User Password Expiry for more details.
Account Locking
MariaDB starting with 10.4.2
Account locking permits privileged administrators to lock/unlock user accounts. No new client connections will be
permitted if an account is locked (existing connections are not affected). For example:
ALTER USER 'marijn'@'localhost' ACCOUNT LOCK;
From MariaDB 10.4.7 and MariaDB 10.5.8, the lock_option and password_option clauses can occur in either order.

Description
The DROP USER statement removes one or more MariaDB accounts. It removes privilege rows for the account from all
grant tables. To use this statement, you must have the global CREATE USER privilege or the DELETE privilege for the
mysql database. Each account is named using the same format as for the CREATE USER statement; for example,
'jeffrey'@'localhost' . If you specify only the user name part of the account name, a host name part of '%' is used.
For additional information about specifying account names, see CREATE USER.
Note that, if you specify an account that is currently connected, it will not be deleted until the connection is closed. The
connection will not be automatically closed.
If any of the specified user accounts do not exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an error occurs, DROP USER will still
drop the accounts that do not result in an error. Only one error is produced for all users which have not been dropped:
Failed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same error code.
IF EXISTS
If the IF EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a note instead of an error if the user does not exist.
Examples
58/3812
DROP USER bob;
IF EXISTS :

Privilege Levels
Privileges can be set globally, for an entire database, for a table or routine, or for individual columns in a table. Certain
privileges can only be set at certain levels.
Global privileges priv_type are granted using *.* for priv_level . Global privileges include privileges to administer
the database and manage user accounts, as well as privileges for all tables, functions, and procedures. Global
privileges are stored in the mysql.user table prior to MariaDB 10.4, and in mysql.global_priv table afterwards.
Database privileges priv_type are granted using db_name.* for priv_level , or using just * to use default
database. Database privileges include privileges to create tables and functions, as well as privileges for all tables,
functions, and procedures in the database. Database privileges are stored in the mysql.db table.
Table privileges priv_type are granted using db_name.tbl_name for priv_level , or using just tbl_name to specify
a table in the default database. The TABLE keyword is optional. Table privileges include the ability to select and
change data in the table. Certain table privileges can be granted for individual columns.
Column privileges priv_type are granted by specifying a table for priv_level and providing a column list after the
privilege type. They allow you to control exactly which columns in a table users can select and change.
Function privileges priv_type are granted using FUNCTION db_name.routine_name for priv_level , or using just
FUNCTION routine_name to specify a function in the default database.
Procedure privileges priv_type are granted using PROCEDURE db_name.routine_name for priv_level , or using just
PROCEDURE routine_name to specify a procedure in the default database.
Global Privileges
The following table lists the privileges that can be granted globally. You can also grant all database, table, and function
privileges globally. When granted globally, these privileges apply to all databases, tables, or functions, including those
created later.
To set a global privilege, use *.* for priv_level .
BINLOG ADMIN
Enables administration of the binary log, including the PURGE BINARY LOGS statement and setting the system
variables:
binlog_annotate_row_events
binlog_cache_size
binlog_commit_wait_count
binlog_commit_wait_usec
binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates
binlog_expire_logs_seconds
binlog_file_cache_size
binlog_format
binlog_row_image
binlog_row_metadata
binlog_stmt_cache_size

log_bin_trust_function_creators
max_binlog_cache_size
max_binlog_size
max_binlog_stmt_cache_size
sql_log_bin and
sync_binlog.
Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.
BINLOG MONITOR
New name for REPLICATION CLIENT from MariaDB 10.5.2, ( REPLICATION CLIENT still supported as an alias for
compatibility purposes). Permits running SHOW commands related to the binary log, in particular the SHOW BINLOG
STATUS and SHOW BINARY LOGS statements. Unlike REPLICATION CLIENT prior to MariaDB 10.5, SHOW
REPLICA STATUS isn't included in this privilege, and REPLICA MONITOR is required.
BINLOG REPLAY
Enables replaying the binary log with the BINLOG statement (generated by mariadb-binlog), executing SET timestamp
when secure_timestamp is set to replication , and setting the session values of system variables usually included in
BINLOG output, in particular:
gtid_domain_id
gtid_seq_no
pseudo_thread_id
server_id.
Added in MariaDB 10.5.2
CONNECTION ADMIN
Enables administering connection resource limit options. This includes ignoring the limits specified by:
max_connections
max_user_connections and
max_password_errors.
The statements specified in init_connect are not executed, killing connections and queries owned by other users is
permitted. The following connection-related system variables can be changed:
connect_timeout
63/3812
disconnect_on_expired_password
extra_max_connections
init_connect
max_connections
max_connect_errors
max_password_errors
proxy_protocol_networks

thread_pool_oversubscribe
thread_pool_prio_kickup_timer
thread_pool_priority
thread_pool_size, and
thread_pool_stall_limit.
Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.
CREATE USER
Create a user using the CREATE USER statement, or implicitly create a user with the GRANT statement.
FEDERATED ADMIN
Execute CREATE SERVER, ALTER SERVER, and DROP SERVER statements. Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.
FILE
Read and write files on the server, using statements like LOAD DATA INFILE or functions like LOAD_FILE(). Also
needed to create CONNECT outward tables. MariaDB server must have the permissions to access those files.
GRANT OPTION
Grant global privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
PROCESS
Show information about the active processes, for example via SHOW PROCESSLIST or mysqladmin processlist. If you
have the PROCESS privilege, you can see all threads. Otherwise, you can see only your own threads (that is, threads
associated with the MariaDB account that you are using).
READ_ONLY ADMIN
User can set the read_only system variable and allows the user to perform write operations, even when the read_only
option is active. Added in MariaDB 10.5.2.
From MariaDB 10.11.0, the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege has been removed from SUPER. The benefit of this is that one
can remove the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege from all users and ensure that no one can make any changes on any
non-temporary tables. This is useful on replicas when one wants to ensure that the replica is kept identical to the
primary.
RELOAD
REPLICATION CLIENT
Execute SHOW MASTER STATUS and SHOW BINARY LOGS informative statements. Renamed to BINLOG
MONITOR in MariaDB 10.5.2 (but still supported as an alias for compatibility reasons). SHOW SLAVE STATUS was
part of REPLICATION CLIENT prior to MariaDB 10.5.
REPLICA MONITOR
Permit SHOW REPLICA STATUS and SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS. From MariaDB 10.5.9.
64/3812
When a user would upgrade from an older major release to a MariaDB 10.5 minor release prior to MariaDB 10.5.9,
certain user accounts would lose capabilities. For example, a user account that had the REPLICATION CLIENT
privilege in older major releases could run SHOW REPLICA STATUS, but after upgrading to a MariaDB 10.5 minor
release prior to MariaDB 10.5.9, they could no longer run SHOW REPLICA STATUS, because that statement was
changed to require the REPLICATION REPLICA ADMIN privilege.
This issue is fixed in MariaDB 10.5.9 with this new privilege, which now grants the user the ability to execute SHOW
[ALL] (SLAVE | REPLICA) STATUS.
When a database is upgraded from an older major release to MariaDB Server 10.5.9 or later, any user accounts with
the REPLICATION CLIENT or REPLICATION SLAVE privileges will automatically be granted the new REPLICA
MONITOR privilege. The privilege fix occurs when the server is started up, not when mariadb-upgrade is performed.
However, when a database is upgraded from an early 10.5 minor release to 10.5.9 and later, the user will have to fix
any user account privileges manually.
REPLICATION REPLICA
REPLICATION SLAVE
Accounts used by replica servers on the primary need this privilege. This is needed to get the updates made on the
master. From MariaDB 10.5.1, REPLICATION REPLICA is an alias for REPLICATION SLAVE .
SET USER
Enables setting the DEFINER when creating triggers, views, stored functions and stored procedures. Added in MariaDB
10.5.2.
SHOW DATABASES
List all databases using the SHOW DATABASES statement. Without the SHOW DATABASES privilege, you can still issue
65/3812
the SHOW DATABASES statement, but it will only list databases containing tables on which you have privileges.
SHUTDOWN
Shut down the server using SHUTDOWN or the mysqladmin shutdown command.
SUPER
Execute superuser statements: CHANGE MASTER TO, KILL (users who do not have this privilege can only KILL their
own threads), PURGE LOGS, SET global system variables, or the mysqladmin debug command. Also, this permission
allows the user to write data even if the read_only startup option is set, enable or disable logging, enable or disable
replication on replica, specify a DEFINER for statements that support that clause, connect once reaching the
MAX_CONNECTIONS . If a statement has been specified for the init-connect mysqld option, that command will not be
executed when a user with SUPER privileges connects to the server.
The SUPER privilege has been split into multiple smaller privileges from MariaDB 10.5.2 to allow for more fine-grained
privileges, although it remains an alias for these smaller privileges.
From MariaDB 10.11.0, the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege has been removed from SUPER . The benefit of this is that
one can remove the READ_ONLY ADMIN privilege from all users and ensure that no one can make any changes on
any non-temporary tables. This is useful on replicas when one wants to ensure that the replica is kept identical to the
primary.
Database Privileges
The following table lists the privileges that can be granted at the database level. You can also grant all table and
function privileges at the database level. Table and function privileges on a database apply to all tables or functions in
that database, including those created later.
To set a privilege for a database, specify the database using db_name.* for priv_level , or just use * to specify the
default database.
Privilege Description
Create a database using the CREATE DATABASE statement, when the privilege is granted for a
CREATE database. You can grant the CREATE privilege on databases that do not yet exist. This also grants the
CREATE privilege on all tables in the database.
CREATE
Create Stored Programs using the CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION statements.
ROUTINE
CREATE
Create temporary tables with the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statement. This privilege enable writing
TEMPORARY
and dropping those temporary tables
TABLES
Drop a database using the DROP DATABASE statement, when the privilege is granted for a database.
DROP
This also grants the DROP privilege on all tables in the database.
EVENT Create, drop and alter EVENT s.
GRANT
Grant database privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
OPTION
LOCK Acquire explicit locks using the LOCK TABLES statement; you also need to have the SELECT privilege on
TABLES a table, in order to lock it.
Table Privileges
Privilege Description
ALTER Change the structure of an existing table using the ALTER TABLE statement.
Create a table using the CREATE TABLE statement. You can grant the CREATE privilege on tables that
CREATE
do not yet exist.
CREATE
Create a view using the CREATE_VIEW statement.
VIEW
66/3812
Drop a table using the DROP TABLE statement or a view using the DROP VIEW statement. Also
DROP
required to execute the TRUNCATE TABLE statement.
GRANT
Grant table privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
OPTION
Create an index on a table using the CREATE INDEX statement. Without the INDEX privilege, you can
still create indexes when creating a table using the CREATE TABLE statement if the you have the
INDEX
CREATE privilege, and you can create indexes using the ALTER TABLE statement if you have the
ALTER privilege.
Add rows to a table using the INSERT statement. The INSERT privilege can also be set on individual
INSERT
columns; see Column Privileges below for details.
REFERENCES Unused.
Read data from a table using the SELECT statement. The SELECT privilege can also be set on
SELECT
individual columns; see Column Privileges below for details.
SHOW VIEW Show the CREATE VIEW statement to create a view using the SHOW CREATE VIEW statement.
Execute triggers associated to tables you update, execute the CREATE TRIGGER and DROP
TRIGGER
TRIGGER statements. You will still be able to see triggers.
Update existing rows in a table using the UPDATE statement. UPDATE statements usually include a
WHERE clause to update only certain rows. You must have SELECT privileges on the table or the
UPDATE
appropriate columns for the WHERE clause. The UPDATE privilege can also be set on individual
columns; see Column Privileges below for details.
Column Privileges
Some table privileges can be set for individual columns of a table. To use column privileges, specify the table explicitly
and provide a list of column names after the privilege type. For example, the following statement would allow the user to
read the names and positions of employees, but not other information from the same table, such as salaries.
Privilege Description
Add rows specifying values in columns using the INSERT statement. If you only have column-level
INSERT
INSERT privileges, you must specify the columns you are setting in the INSERT statement. All other
(column_list)
columns will be set to their default values, or NULL .
REFERENCES
Unused.
(column_list)
Read values in columns using the SELECT statement. You cannot access or query any columns for
SELECT
which you do not have SELECT privileges, including in WHERE , ON , GROUP BY , and ORDER BY
(column_list)
clauses.
Update values in columns of existing rows using the UPDATE statement. UPDATE statements usually
UPDATE
include a WHERE clause to update only certain rows. You must have SELECT privileges on the table
(column_list)
or the appropriate columns for the WHERE clause.
Function Privileges
Privilege Description
ALTER
Change the characteristics of a stored function using the ALTER FUNCTION statement.
ROUTINE
Use a stored function. You need SELECT privileges for any tables or columns accessed by the
EXECUTE
function.
GRANT OPTION Grant function privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
Procedure Privileges
Privilege Description
ALTER
Change the characteristics of a stored procedure using the ALTER PROCEDURE statement.
ROUTINE
Execute a stored procedure using the CALL statement. The privilege to call a procedure may allow you to
EXECUTE
perform actions you wouldn't otherwise be able to do, such as insert rows into a table.
67/3812
GRANT
Grant procedure privileges. You can only grant privileges that you have.
OPTION
Proxy Privileges
Privilege Description
PROXY Permits one user to be a proxy for another.
The PROXY privilege allows one user to proxy as another user, which means their privileges change to that of the proxy
user, and the CURRENT_USER() function returns the user name of the proxy user.
The PROXY privilege only works with authentication plugins that support it. The default mysql_native_password
authentication plugin does not support proxy users.
The pam authentication plugin is the only plugin included with MariaDB that currently supports proxy users. The PROXY
privilege is commonly used with the pam authentication plugin to enable user and group mapping with PAM.
For example, to grant the PROXY privilege to an anonymous account that authenticates with the pam authentication
plugin, you could execute the following:
A user account can only grant the PROXY privilege for a specific user account if the granter also has the PROXY
privilege for that specific user account, and if that privilege is defined WITH GRANT OPTION . For example, the following
example fails because the granter does not have the PROXY privilege for that specific user account at all:
SHOW GRANTS;
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------+
| Grants for alice@localhost
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'alice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19' |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------+
And the following example fails because the granter does have the PROXY privilege for that specific user account, but it
is not defined WITH GRANT OPTION :
68/3812
SELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();
+-----------------+-----------------+
| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |
+-----------------+-----------------+
| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |
+-----------------+-----------------+
SHOW GRANTS;
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------+
| Grants for alice@localhost
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'alice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19' |
| GRANT PROXY ON 'dba'@'localhost' TO 'alice'@'localhost'
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------+
But the following example succeeds because the granter does have the PROXY privilege for that specific user account,
and it is defined WITH GRANT OPTION :
SHOW GRANTS;
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------+
| Grants for alice@localhost
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'alice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19' WITH GRANT OPTION |
| GRANT PROXY ON 'dba'@'localhost' TO 'alice'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------+
A user account can grant the PROXY privilege for any other user account if the granter has the PROXY privilege for the
''@'%' anonymous user account, like this:
For example, the following example succeeds because the user can grant the PROXY privilege for any other user
account:
69/3812
SELECT USER(), CURRENT_USER();
+-----------------+-----------------+
| USER() | CURRENT_USER() |
+-----------------+-----------------+
| alice@localhost | alice@localhost |
+-----------------+-----------------+
SHOW GRANTS;
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------+
| Grants for alice@localhost
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------+
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'alice'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
'*2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19' WITH GRANT OPTION |
| GRANT PROXY ON ''@'%' TO 'alice'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------+
The default root user accounts created by mysql_install_db have this privilege. For example:
This allows the default root user accounts to grant the PROXY privilege for any other user account, and it also allows
the default root user accounts to grant others the privilege to do the same.
Authentication Options
The authentication options for the GRANT statement are the same as those for the CREATE USER statement.
IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
The optional IDENTIFIED BY clause can be used to provide an account with a password. The password should be
specified in plain text. It will be hashed by the PASSWORD function prior to being stored.
For example, if our password is mariadb , then we can create the user with:
If you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will be able to connect without a password. A
blank password is not a wildcard to match any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no
password is set.
If the user account already exists and if you provide the IDENTIFIED BY clause, then the user's password will be
changed. You must have the privileges needed for the SET PASSWORD statement to change a user's password with
GRANT .
The only authentication plugins that this clause supports are mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.
SELECT PASSWORD('mariadb');
+-------------------------------------------+
| PASSWORD('mariadb') |
+-------------------------------------------+
| *54958E764CE10E50764C2EECBB71D01F08549980 |
+-------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If you do not specify a password with the IDENTIFIED BY clause, the user will be able to connect without a password. A
blank password is not a wildcard to match any password. The user must connect without providing a password if no
password is set.
If the user account already exists and if you provide the IDENTIFIED BY clause, then the user's password will be
changed. You must have the privileges needed for the SET PASSWORD statement to change a user's password with
GRANT .
The only authentication plugins that this clause supports are mysql_native_password and mysql_old_password.
Some authentication plugins allow additional arguments to be specified after a USING or AS keyword. For example, the
PAM authentication plugin accepts a service name:
The exact meaning of the additional argument would depend on the specific authentication plugin.
By default, when you create a user without specifying an authentication plugin, MariaDB uses the
mysql_native_password plugin.
If any of these limits are set to 0 , then there is no limit for that resource for that user.
71/3812
To set resource limits for an account, if you do not want to change that account's privileges, you can issue a GRANT
statement with the USAGE privilege, which has no meaning. The statement can name some or all limit types, in any
order.
Here is an example showing how to set resource limits:
The resources are tracked per account, which means 'user'@'server' ; not per user name or per connection.
The count can be reset for all users using FLUSH USER_RESOURCES, FLUSH PRIVILEGES or mysqladmin reload.
Users with the CONNECTION ADMIN privilege (in MariaDB 10.5.2 and later) or the SUPER privilege are not restricted by
max_user_connections , max_connections , or max_password_errors .
Per account resource limits are stored in the user table, in the mysql database. Columns used for resources limits are
named max_questions , max_updates , max_connections (for MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR ), and
max_user_connections (for MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS ).
TLS Options
By default, MariaDB transmits data between the server and clients without encrypting it. This is generally acceptable
when the server and client run on the same host or in networks where security is guaranteed through other means.
However, in cases where the server and client exist on separate networks or they are in a high-risk network, the lack of
encryption does introduce security concerns as a malicious actor could potentially eavesdrop on the traffic as it is sent
over the network between them.
To mitigate this concern, MariaDB allows you to encrypt data in transit between the server and clients using the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS was formerly known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), but strictly speaking
the SSL protocol is a predecessor to TLS and, that version of the protocol is now considered insecure. The
documentation still uses the term SSL often and for compatibility reasons TLS-related server system and status
variables still use the prefix ssl_, but internally, MariaDB only supports its secure successors.
See Secure Connections Overview for more information about how to determine whether your MariaDB server has TLS
support.
You can set certain TLS-related restrictions for specific user accounts. For instance, you might use this with user
accounts that require access to sensitive data while sending it across networks that you do not control. These
restrictions can be enabled for a user account with the CREATE USER, ALTER USER, or GRANT statements. The
following options are available:
Option Description
REQUIRE
TLS is not required for this account, but can still be used.
NONE
REQUIRE The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required. This option cannot be combined
SSL with other TLS options.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. This option implies REQUIRE SSL .
X509 This option cannot be combined with other TLS options.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the Certificate Authority must be
ISSUER the one specified via the string issuer . This option implies REQUIRE X509 . This option can be combined
'issuer' with the SUBJECT , and CIPHER options in any order.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS and must have a valid X509 certificate. Also, the certificate's Subject must be
SUBJECT the one specified via the string subject . This option implies REQUIRE X509 . This option can be
'subject' combined with the ISSUER , and CIPHER options in any order.
REQUIRE The account must use TLS, but no valid X509 certificate is required. Also, the encryption used for the
CIPHER connection must use a specific cipher method specified in the string cipher . This option implies
'cipher' REQUIRE SSL . This option can be combined with the ISSUER , and SUBJECT options in any order.
The REQUIRE keyword must be used only once for all specified options, and the AND keyword can be used to separate
individual options, but it is not required.
For example, you can create a user account that requires these TLS options with the following:
If any of these options are set for a specific user account, then any client who tries to connect with that user account will
72/3812
have to be configured to connect with TLS.
See Securing Connections for Client and Server for information on how to enable TLS on the client and server.
Roles
Syntax
grantee:
rolename
username [authentication_option]
The GRANT statement is also used to grant the use a role to one or more users or other roles. In order to be able to
grant a role, the grantor doing so must have permission to do so (see WITH ADMIN in the CREATE ROLE article).
Specifying the WITH ADMIN OPTION permits the grantee to in turn grant the role to another.
For example, the following commands show how to grant the same role to a couple different users.
If a user has been granted a role, they do not automatically obtain all permissions associated with that role. These
permissions are only in use when the user activates the role with the SET ROLE statement.
TO PUBLIC
MariaDB starting with 10.11
Syntax
GRANT <privilege> ON <database>.<object> TO PUBLIC;
REVOKE <privilege> ON <database>.<object> FROM PUBLIC;
GRANT ... TO PUBLIC grants privileges to all users with access to the server. The privileges also apply to users
created after the privileges are granted. This can be useful when one only wants to state once that all users need to
have a certain set of privileges.
When running SHOW GRANTS, a user will also see all privileges inherited from PUBLIC. SHOW GRANTS FOR
PUBLIC will only show TO PUBLIC grants.
Grant Examples
Granting Root-like Privileges
You can create a user that has privileges similar to the default root accounts by executing the following:

1.1.1.1.5 RENAME USER
Syntax
RENAME USER old_user TO new_user
[, old_user TO new_user] ...
Description
The RENAME USER statement renames existing MariaDB accounts. To use it, you must have the global CREATE
USER privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the mysql database. Each account is named using the same format as for
the CREATE USER statement; for example, 'jeffrey'@'localhost' . If you specify only the user name part of the
account name, a host name part of '%' is used.
If any of the old user accounts do not exist or any of the new user accounts already exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results.
If an error occurs, RENAME USER will still rename the accounts that do not result in an error.
Examples
CREATE USER 'donald', 'mickey';
RENAME USER 'donald' TO 'duck'@'localhost', 'mickey' TO 'mouse'@'localhost';

Syntax
REVOKE
priv_type [(column_list)]
[, priv_type [(column_list)]] ...
ON [object_type] priv_level
FROM user [, user] ...
Description
The REVOKE statement enables system administrators to revoke privileges (or roles - see section below) from MariaDB
accounts. Each account is named using the same format as for the GRANT statement; for example,
' jeffrey'@'localhost '. If you specify only the user name part of the account name, a host name part of ' % ' is used.
For details on the levels at which privileges exist, the allowable priv_type and priv_level values, and the syntax for
specifying users and passwords, see GRANT.
To use the first REVOKE syntax, you must have the GRANT OPTION privilege, and you must have the privileges that you
are revoking.
To revoke all privileges, use the second syntax, which drops all global, database, table, column, and routine privileges
for the named user or users:
To use this REVOKE syntax, you must have the global CREATE USER privilege or the UPDATE privilege for the mysql
74/3812
database. See GRANT.
Examples
REVOKE SUPER ON *.* FROM 'alexander'@'localhost';
Roles
Syntax
REVOKE role [, role ...]
FROM grantee [, grantee2 ... ]
Description
REVOKE is also used to remove a role from a user or another role that it's previously been assigned to. If a role has
previously been set as a default role, REVOKE does not remove the record of the default role from the mysql.user table.
If the role is subsequently granted again, it will again be the user's default. Use SET DEFAULT ROLE NONE to
explicitly remove this.
Before MariaDB 10.1.13 , the REVOKE role statement was not permitted in prepared statements.

Description
The SET PASSWORD statement assigns a password to an existing MariaDB user account.
If the password is specified using the PASSWORD() or OLD_PASSWORD() function, the literal text of the password should
be given. If the password is specified without using either function, the password should be the already-encrypted
password value as returned by PASSWORD() .
OLD_PASSWORD() should only be used if your MariaDB/MySQL clients are very old (< 4.0.0).
With no FOR clause, this statement sets the password for the current user. Any client that has connected to the server
using a non-anonymous account can change the password for that account.
With a FOR clause, this statement sets the password for a specific account on the current server host. Only clients that
have the UPDATE privilege for the mysql database can do this. The user value should be given in
user_name@host_name format, where user_name and host_name are exactly as they are listed in the User and Host
columns of the mysql.user table (or view in MariaDB-10.4 onwards) entry.
75/3812
The argument to PASSWORD() and the password given to MariaDB clients can be of arbitrary length.
See Authentication from MariaDB 10.4 for an overview of authentication changes in MariaDB 10.4.
Example
For example, if you had an entry with User and Host column values of ' bob ' and ' %.loc.gov ', you would write the
statement like this:

3. Examples

Description
The CREATE ROLE statement creates one or more MariaDB roles. To use it, you must have the global CREATE USER
privilege or the INSERT privilege for the mysql database. For each account, CREATE ROLE creates a new row in the
mysql.user table that has no privileges, and with the corresponding is_role field set to Y . It also creates a record in
the mysql.roles_mapping table.
If any of the specified roles already exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an error occurs, CREATE ROLE will still create
the roles that do not result in an error. The maximum length for a role is 128 characters. Role names can be quoted, as
explained in the Identifier names page. Only one error is produced for all roles which have not been created:
Failed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same error code.
PUBLIC and NONE are reserved, and cannot be used as role names. NONE is used to unset a role and PUBLIC has a
special use in other systems, such as Oracle, so is reserved for compatibility purposes.
For valid identifiers to use as role names, see Identifier Names.
WITH ADMIN
The optional WITH ADMIN clause determines whether the current user, the current role or another user or role has use
of the newly created role. If the clause is omitted, WITH ADMIN CURRENT_USER is treated as the default, which means that
the current user will be able to GRANT this role to users.
OR REPLACE
If the optional OR REPLACE clause is used, it acts as a shortcut for:
IF NOT EXISTS
When the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used, MariaDB will return a warning instead of an error if the specified role already
exists. Cannot be used together with the OR REPLACE clause.
Examples
CREATE ROLE journalist;
Granting the role to another user. Only user lorinda@localhost has permission to grant the developer role:
77/3812
SELECT USER();
+-------------------+

Description
The DROP ROLE statement removes one or more MariaDB roles. To use this statement, you must have the global
CREATE USER privilege or the DELETE privilege for the mysql database.
DROP ROLE does not disable roles for connections which selected them with SET ROLE. If a role has previously been
set as a default role, DROP ROLE does not remove the record of the default role from the mysql.user table. If the role is
subsequently recreated and granted, it will again be the user's default. Use SET DEFAULT ROLE NONE to explicitly
remove this.
If any of the specified user accounts do not exist, ERROR 1396 (HY000) results. If an error occurs, DROP ROLE will still
drop the roles that do not result in an error. Only one error is produced for all roles which have not been dropped:
78/3812
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP ROLE failed for 'a','b','c'
Failed CREATE or DROP operations, for both users and roles, produce the same error code.

SET DEFAULT ROLE { role | NONE } [ FOR user@host ]
Description
The SET DEFAULT ROLE statement sets a default role for a specified (or current) user. A default role is automatically
enabled when a user connects (an implicit SET ROLE statement is executed immediately after a connection is
established).
To be able to set a role as a default, the role must already have been granted to that user, and one needs the privileges
to enable this role (if you cannot do SET ROLE X , you won't be able to do SET DEFAULT ROLE X ). To set a default role
for another user one needs to have write access to the mysql database.
To remove a user's default role, use SET DEFAULT ROLE NONE [ FOR user@host ] . The record of the default role is not
removed if the role is dropped or revoked, so if the role is subsequently re-created or granted, it will again be the user's
default role.
The default role is stored in the default_role column in the mysql.user table/view, as well as in the Information
Schema APPLICABLE_ROLES table, so these can be viewed to see which role has been assigned to a user as the
default.
Examples

SHOW GRANTS [FOR user|role]
Description
The SHOW GRANTS statement lists privileges granted to a particular user or role.
Users
The statement lists the GRANT statement or statements that must be issued to duplicate the privileges that are granted
to a MariaDB user account. The account is named using the same format as for the GRANT statement; for example,
' jeffrey'@'localhost '. If you specify only the user name part of the account name, a host name part of ' % ' is used.
For additional information about specifying account names, see GRANT.
To list the privileges granted to the account that you are using to connect to the server, you can use any of the following
statements:
SHOW GRANTS;
SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER;
SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER();
If SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER (or any of the equivalent syntaxes) is used in DEFINER context (such as within a
stored procedure that is defined with SQL SECURITY DEFINER ), the grants displayed are those of the definer and not the
invoker.
81/3812
Note that the DELETE HISTORY privilege, introduced in MariaDB 10.3.4, was displayed as DELETE VERSIONING ROWS
when running SHOW GRANTS until MariaDB 10.3.15 (MDEV-17655 ).
Roles
SHOW GRANTS can also be used to view the privileges granted to a role.
Example
SHOW GRANTS FOR journalist;

Description
ALTER TABLE enables you to change the structure of an existing table. For example, you can add or delete columns,
create or destroy indexes, change the type of existing columns, or rename columns or the table itself. You can also
change the comment for the table and the storage engine of the table.
If another connection is using the table, a metadata lock is active, and this statement will wait until the lock is released.
This is also true for non-transactional tables.
When adding a UNIQUE index on a column (or a set of columns) which have duplicated values, an error will be
produced and the statement will be stopped. To suppress the error and force the creation of UNIQUE indexes,
discarding duplicates, the IGNORE option can be specified. This can be useful if a column (or a set of columns) should
be UNIQUE but it contains duplicate values; however, this technique provides no control on which rows are preserved
and which are deleted. Also, note that IGNORE is accepted but ignored in ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION
88/3812
statements.
This statement can also be used to rename a table. For details see RENAME TABLE.
When an index is created, the storage engine may use a configurable buffer in the process. Incrementing the buffer
speeds up the index creation. Aria and MyISAM allocate a buffer whose size is defined by aria_sort_buffer_size or
myisam_sort_buffer_size, also used for REPAIR TABLE. InnoDB allocates three buffers whose size is defined by
innodb_sort_buffer_size.
Privileges
Executing the ALTER TABLE statement generally requires at least the ALTER privilege for the table or the database..
If you are renaming a table, then it also requires the DROP, CREATE and INSERT privileges for the table or the
database as well.
Online DDL
Online DDL is supported with the ALGORITHM and LOCK clauses.
See InnoDB Online DDL Overview for more information on online DDL with InnoDB.
WAIT/NOWAIT
MariaDB starting with 10.3.0
Set the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.
IF EXISTS
The IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS clauses are available for the following:
When IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS are used in clauses, queries will not report errors when the condition is triggered
for that clause. A warning with the same message text will be issued and the ALTER will move on to the next clause in
89/3812
the statement (or end if finished).
Column Definitions
See CREATE TABLE: Column Definitions for information about column definitions.
Index Definitions
See CREATE TABLE: Index Definitions for information about index definitions.
The CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX statements can also be used to add or remove an index.
See Setting Character Sets and Collations for details on setting the character sets and collations.
Alter Specifications
Table Options
See CREATE TABLE: Table Options for information about table options.
ADD COLUMN
... ADD COLUMN [IF NOT EXISTS] (col_name column_definition,...)
Adds a column to the table. The syntax is the same as in CREATE TABLE. If you are using IF NOT_EXISTS the column
will not be added if it was not there already. This is very useful when doing scripts to modify tables.
The FIRST and AFTER clauses affect the physical order of columns in the datafile. Use FIRST to add a column in the
first (leftmost) position, or AFTER followed by a column name to add the new column in any other position. Note that,
nowadays, the physical position of a column is usually irrelevant.
See also Instant ADD COLUMN for InnoDB.
DROP COLUMN
... DROP COLUMN [IF EXISTS] col_name [CASCADE|RESTRICT]
Drops the column from the table. If you are using IF EXISTS you will not get an error if the column didn't exist. If the
column is part of any index, the column will be dropped from them, except if you add a new column with identical name
at the same time. The index will be dropped if all columns from the index were dropped. If the column was used in a
view or trigger, you will get an error next time the view or trigger is accessed.
The reason is that dropping column a would result in the new constraint that all values in column b be unique. In
90/3812
order to drop the column, an explicit DROP PRIMARY KEY and ADD PRIMARY KEY would be required. Up until MariaDB
10.2.7 , the column was dropped and the additional constraint applied, resulting in the following structure:
ALTER TABLE x DROP COLUMN a;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.46 sec)
DESC x;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| b | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
RESTRICT and CASCADE are allowed to make porting from other database systems easier. In MariaDB, they do nothing.
MODIFY COLUMN
Allows you to modify the type of a column. The column will be at the same place as the original column and all indexes
on the column will be kept. Note that when modifying column, you should specify all attributes for the new column.
CHANGE COLUMN
Works like MODIFY COLUMN except that you can also change the name of the column. The column will be at the same
place as the original column and all index on the column will be kept.
ALTER COLUMN
This lets you change column options.
RENAME INDEX/KEY
MariaDB starting with 10.5.2
From MariaDB 10.5.2, it is possible to rename an index using the RENAME INDEX (or RENAME KEY ) syntax, for
example:
ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME INDEX i_old TO i_new;
RENAME COLUMN
MariaDB starting with 10.5.2
From MariaDB 10.5.2, it is possible to rename a column using the RENAME COLUMN syntax, for example:
ALTER TABLE t1 RENAME COLUMN c_old TO c_new;
91/3812
For PRIMARY KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the index, but it is silently ignored, and the name of the index is
always PRIMARY .
See Getting Started with Indexes: Primary Key for more information.
ADD INDEX
Add a plain index.
Plain indexes are regular indexes that are not unique, and are not acting as a primary key or a foreign key. They are
also not the "specialized" FULLTEXT or SPATIAL indexes.
See Getting Started with Indexes: Plain Indexes for more information.
DROP INDEX
Drop a plain index.
Plain indexes are regular indexes that are not unique, and are not acting as a primary key or a foreign key. They are
also not the "specialized" FULLTEXT or SPATIAL indexes.
See Getting Started with Indexes: Plain Indexes for more information.
RENAME TO
Renames the table. See also RENAME TABLE.
ADD CONSTRAINT
Modifies the table adding a constraint on a particular column or columns.
Note: Before MariaDB 10.2.1 , constraint expressions were accepted in syntax, but ignored.
Before a row is inserted or updated, all constraints are evaluated in the order they are defined. If any constraint fails,
then the row will not be updated. One can use most deterministic functions in a constraint, including UDF's.
93/3812
CREATE TABLE account_ledger (
id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
transaction_name VARCHAR(100),
credit_account VARCHAR(100),
credit_amount INT,
debit_account VARCHAR(100),
debit_amount INT);
The constraint_name is optional. If you don't provide one in the ALTER TABLE statement, MariaDB auto-generates a
name for you. This is done so that you can remove it later using DROP CONSTRAINT clause.
You can disable all constraint expression checks by setting the variable check_constraint_checks to OFF . You may find
this useful when loading a table that violates some constraints that you want to later find and fix in SQL.
To view constraints on a table, query information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS:
+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
| CONSTRAINT_NAME | TABLE_NAME | CONSTRAINT_TYPE |
+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
| is_balanced | account_ledger | CHECK |
+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
DROP CONSTRAINT
MariaDB starting with 10.2.22
DROP CONSTRAINT for UNIQUE and FOREIGN KEY constraints was introduced in MariaDB 10.2.22 and MariaDB
10.3.13.
When you add a constraint to a table, whether through a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE...ADD CONSTRAINT
statement, you can either set a constraint_name yourself, or allow MariaDB to auto-generate one for you. To view
constraints on a table, query information_schema.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. For instance,
CREATE TABLE t (
a INT,
b INT,
c INT,
CONSTRAINT CHECK(a > b),
CONSTRAINT check_equals CHECK(a = c));
+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
| CONSTRAINT_NAME | TABLE_NAME | CONSTRAINT_TYPE |
+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
| check_equals | t | CHECK |
| CONSTRAINT_1 | t | CHECK |
+-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
To remove a constraint from the table, issue an ALTER TABLE...DROP CONSTRAINT statement. For example,
FORCE
ALTER TABLE ... FORCE can force MariaDB to re-build the table.
In MariaDB 5.5 and before, this could only be done by setting the ENGINE table option to its old value. For example, for
an InnoDB table, one could execute the following:
With InnoDB, the table rebuild will only reclaim unused space (i.e. the space previously used for deleted rows) if the
innodb_file_per_table system variable is set to ON . If the system variable is OFF , then the space will not be reclaimed,
but it will be-re-used for new data that's later added.
EXCHANGE PARTITION
This is used to exchange the tablespace files between a partition and another table.
See copying InnoDB's transportable tablespaces for more information.
DISCARD TABLESPACE
This is used to discard an InnoDB table's tablespace.
See copying InnoDB's transportable tablespaces for more information.
IMPORT TABLESPACE
This is used to import an InnoDB table's tablespace. The tablespace should have been copied from its original server
after executing FLUSH TABLES FOR EXPORT.
See copying InnoDB's transportable tablespaces for more information.
ALTER TABLE ... IMPORT only applies to InnoDB tables. Most other popular storage engines, such as Aria and
MyISAM, will recognize their data files as soon as they've been placed in the proper directory under the datadir, and no
special DDL is required to import them.
ALGORITHM
The ALTER TABLE statement supports the ALGORITHM clause. This clause is one of the clauses that is used to
implement online DDL. ALTER TABLE supports several different algorithms. An algorithm can be explicitly chosen for an
ALTER TABLE operation by setting the ALGORITHM clause. The supported values are:
ALGORITHM=DEFAULT - This implies the default behavior for the specific statement, such as if no ALGORITHM
clause is specified.
ALGORITHM=COPY
95/3812
ALGORITHM=INPLACE
ALGORITHM=NOCOPY - This was added in MariaDB 10.3.7.
ALGORITHM=INSTANT - This was added in MariaDB 10.3.7.
See InnoDB Online DDL Overview: ALGORITHM for information on how the ALGORITHM clause affects InnoDB.
ALGORITHM=DEFAULT
The default behavior, which occurs if ALGORITHM=DEFAULT is specified, or if ALGORITHM is not specified at all, usually
only makes a copy if the operation doesn't support being done in-place at all. In this case, the most efficient available
algorithm will usually be used.
However, in MariaDB 10.3.6 and before, if the value of the old_alter_table system variable is set to ON , then the default
behavior is to perform ALTER TABLE operations by making a copy of the table using the old algorithm.
In MariaDB 10.3.7 and later, the old_alter_table system variable is deprecated. Instead, the alter_algorithm system
variable defines the default algorithm for ALTER TABLE operations.
ALGORITHM=COPY
ALGORITHM=COPY is the name for the original ALTER TABLE algorithm from early MariaDB versions.
This algorithm is very inefficient, but it is generic, so it works for all storage engines.
If ALGORITHM=COPY is specified, then the copy algorithm will be used even if it is not necessary. This can result in a
lengthy table copy. If multiple ALTER TABLE operations are required that each require the table to be rebuilt, then it is
best to specify all operations in a single ALTER TABLE statement, so that the table is only rebuilt once.
ALGORITHM=INPLACE
ALGORITHM=COPY can be incredibly slow, because the whole table has to be copied and rebuilt. ALGORITHM=INPLACE
was introduced as a way to avoid this by performing operations in-place and avoiding the table copy and rebuild, when
possible.
When ALGORITHM=INPLACE is set, the underlying storage engine uses optimizations to perform the operation while
avoiding the table copy and rebuild. However, INPLACE is a bit of a misnomer, since some operations may still require
the table to be rebuilt for some storage engines. Regardless, several operations can be performed without a full copy of
the table for some storage engines.
A more accurate name would have been ALGORITHM=ENGINE , where ENGINE refers to an "engine-specific" algorithm.
If an ALTER TABLE operation supports ALGORITHM=INPLACE , then it can be performed using optimizations by the
underlying storage engine, but it may rebuilt.
See InnoDB Online DDL Operations with ALGORITHM=INPLACE for more.
ALGORITHM=NOCOPY
ALGORITHM=NOCOPY was introduced in MariaDB 10.3.7.
ALGORITHM=INPLACE can sometimes be surprisingly slow in instances where it has to rebuild the clustered index,
because when the clustered index has to be rebuilt, the whole table has to be rebuilt. ALGORITHM=NOCOPY was
introduced as a way to avoid this.
If an ALTER TABLE operation supports ALGORITHM=NOCOPY , then it can be performed without rebuilding the clustered
index.
If ALGORITHM=NOCOPY is specified for an ALTER TABLE operation that does not support ALGORITHM=NOCOPY , then an
error will be raised. In this case, raising an error is preferable, if the alternative is for the operation to rebuild the
clustered index, and perform unexpectedly slowly.
96/3812
See InnoDB Online DDL Operations with ALGORITHM=NOCOPY for more.
ALGORITHM=INSTANT
ALGORITHM=INSTANT was introduced in MariaDB 10.3.7.
ALGORITHM=INPLACE can sometimes be surprisingly slow in instances where it has to modify data files.
ALGORITHM=INSTANT was introduced as a way to avoid this.
If an ALTER TABLE operation supports ALGORITHM=INSTANT , then it can be performed without modifying any data files.
If ALGORITHM=INSTANT is specified for an ALTER TABLE operation that does not support ALGORITHM=INSTANT , then an
error will be raised. In this case, raising an error is preferable, if the alternative is for the operation to modify data files,
and perform unexpectedly slowly.
See InnoDB Online DDL Operations with ALGORITHM=INSTANT for more.
LOCK
The ALTER TABLE statement supports the LOCK clause. This clause is one of the clauses that is used to implement
online DDL. ALTER TABLE supports several different locking strategies. A locking strategy can be explicitly chosen for
an ALTER TABLE operation by setting the LOCK clause. The supported values are:
DEFAULT : Acquire the least restrictive lock on the table that is supported for the specific operation. Permit the
maximum amount of concurrency that is supported for the specific operation.
NONE : Acquire no lock on the table. Permit all concurrent DML. If this locking strategy is not permitted for an
operation, then an error is raised.
SHARED : Acquire a read lock on the table. Permit read-only concurrent DML. If this locking strategy is not
permitted for an operation, then an error is raised.
EXCLUSIVE : Acquire a write lock on the table. Do not permit concurrent DML.
Different storage engines support different locking strategies for different operations. If a specific locking strategy is
chosen for an ALTER TABLE operation, and that table's storage engine does not support that locking strategy for that
specific operation, then an error will be raised.
If the LOCK clause is not explicitly set, then the operation uses LOCK=DEFAULT .
ALTER ONLINE TABLE is equivalent to LOCK=NONE . Therefore, the ALTER ONLINE TABLE statement can be used to
ensure that your ALTER TABLE operation allows all concurrent DML.
See InnoDB Online DDL Overview: LOCK for information on how the LOCK clause affects InnoDB.
Progress Reporting
MariaDB provides progress reporting for ALTER TABLE statement for clients that support the new progress reporting
protocol. For example, if you were using the mysql client, then the progress report might look like this::
The progress report is also shown in the output of the SHOW PROCESSLIST statement and in the contents of the
information_schema.PROCESSLIST table.
See Progress Reporting for more information.
Replication
MariaDB starting with 10.8.0
Before MariaDB 10.8.0, ALTER TABLE got fully executed on the primary first, and only then was it replicated and
started executing on replicas. From MariaDB 10.8.0, ALTER TABLE gets replicated and starts executing on replicas
when it starts executing on the primary, not when it finishes. This way the replication lag caused by a heavy ALTER
TABLE can be completely eliminated (MDEV-11675 ).
Examples
Adding a new column:
Dropping a column:
ALTER TABLE t1
ENGINE = InnoDB
COMMENT = 'First of three tables containing usage info';
Rebuilding the table (the previous example will also rebuild the table if it was already InnoDB):
Dropping an index:

Description
ALTER DATABASE enables you to change the overall characteristics of a database. These characteristics are stored in
the db.opt file in the database directory. To use ALTER DATABASE , you need the ALTER privilege on the database.
ALTER SCHEMA is a synonym for ALTER DATABASE.
The CHARACTER SET clause changes the default database character set. The COLLATE clause changes the default
database collation. See Character Sets and Collations for more.
You can see what character sets and collations are available using, respectively, the SHOW CHARACTER SET and
SHOW COLLATION statements.
Changing the default character set/collation of a database does not change the character set/collation of any stored
procedures or stored functions that were previously created, and relied on the defaults. These need to be dropped and
recreated in order to apply the character set/collation changes.
The database name can be omitted from the first syntax, in which case the statement applies to the default database.
The syntax that includes the UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME clause was added in MySQL 5.1.23. It updates the name
of the directory associated with the database to use the encoding implemented in MySQL 5.1 for mapping database
names to database directory names (see Identifier to File Name Mapping). This clause is for use under these
conditions:
It is intended when upgrading MySQL to 5.1 or later from older versions.
It is intended to update a database directory name to the current encoding format if the name contains special
characters that need encoding.
The statement is used by mysqlcheck (as invoked by mysql_upgrade ).
For example,if a database in MySQL 5.0 has a name of a-b-c, the name contains instance of the `-' character. In 5.0, the
database directory is also named a-b-c, which is not necessarily safe for all file systems. In MySQL 5.1 and up, the
same database name is encoded as a@002db@002dc to produce a file system-neutral directory name.
When a MySQL installation is upgraded to MySQL 5.1 or later from an older version,the server displays a name such as
a-b-c (which is in the old format) as #mysql50#a-b-c, and you must refer to the name using the #mysql50# prefix. Use
UPGRADE DATA DIRECTORY NAME in this case to explicitly tell the server to re-encode the database directory name to the
current encoding format:
After executing this statement, you can refer to the database as a-b-c without the special #mysql50# prefix.

This statement requires the EVENT privilege. When a user executes a successful ALTER EVENT statement, that user
becomes the definer for the affected event.
(In MySQL 5.1.11 and earlier, an event could be altered only by its definer, or by a user having the SUPER privilege.)

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE (since MariaDB 10.1.3 ) or DROP PROCEDURE and CREATE PROCEDURE
(MariaDB 10.1.2 and before).
You must have the ALTER ROUTINE privilege for the procedure. By default, that privilege is granted automatically to the
procedure creator. See Stored Routine Privileges.

ANALYZE TABLE analyzes and stores the key distribution for a table (index statistics). This statement works with
MyISAM, Aria and InnoDB tables. During the analysis, InnoDB will allow reads/writes, and MyISAM/Aria reads/inserts.
For MyISAM tables, this statement is equivalent to using myisamchk --analyze.
For more information on how the analysis works within InnoDB, see InnoDB Limitations.
MariaDB uses the stored key distribution to decide the order in which tables should be joined when you perform a join
on something other than a constant. In addition, key distributions can be used when deciding which indexes to use for a
specific table within a query.
This statement requires SELECT and INSERT privileges for the table.
By default, ANALYZE TABLE statements are written to the binary log and will be replicated. The NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG
keyword ( LOCAL is an alias) will ensure the statement is not written to the binary log.
From MariaDB 10.3.19, ANALYZE TABLE statements are not logged to the binary log if read_only is set. See also Read-
Only Replicas.
ANALYZE TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. You can use ALTER TABLE ... ANALYZE PARTITION to analyze
one or more partitions.
The Aria storage engine supports progress reporting for the ANALYZE TABLE statement.

ANALYZE TABLE supports engine-independent statistics. See Engine-Independent Table Statistics: Collecting Statistics

Description
CHECK TABLE checks a table or tables for errors. CHECK TABLE works for Archive, Aria, CSV, InnoDB, and MyISAM
tables. For Aria and MyISAM tables, the key statistics are updated as well. For CSV, see also Checking and Repairing
CSV Tables.
As an alternative, myisamchk is a commandline tool for checking MyISAM tables when the tables are not being
accessed.
For checking dynamic columns integrity, COLUMN_CHECK() can be used.
CHECK TABLE can also check views for problems, such as tables that are referenced in the view definition that no longer
exist.
CHECK TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. You can use ALTER TABLE ... CHECK PARTITION to check one or
more partitions.
The meaning of the different options are as follows - note that this can vary a bit between storage engines:
104/3812
Do a very quick check if the storage format for the table has changed so that one needs to do a
FOR
REPAIR. This is only needed when one upgrades between major versions of MariaDB or MySQL. This
UPGRADE
is usually done by running mysql_upgrade .
Only check tables that has not been closed properly or are marked as corrupt. Only supported by the
FAST
MyISAM and Aria engines. For other engines the table is checked normally
Check only tables that has changed since last REPAIR / CHECK. Only supported by the MyISAM and
CHANGED
Aria engines. For other engines the table is checked normally.
Do a fast check. For MyISAM and Aria engine this means we skip checking the delete link chain which
QUICK
may take some time.
Scan also the data files. Checks integrity between data and index files with checksums. In most cases
MEDIUM
this should find all possible errors.
Does a full check to verify every possible error. For MyISAM and Aria we verify for each row that all it
EXTENDED
keys exists and points to the row. This may take a long time on big tables!
For most cases running CHECK TABLE without options or MEDIUM should be good enough.
The Aria storage engine supports progress reporting for this statement.
If you want to know if two tables are identical, take a look at CHECKSUM TABLE.
InnoDB
If CHECK TABLE finds an error in an InnoDB table, MariaDB might shutdown to prevent the error propagation. In this
case, the problem will be reported in the error log. Otherwise the table or an index might be marked as corrupted, to
prevent use. This does not happen with some minor problems, like a wrong number of entries in a secondary index.
Those problems are reported in the output of CHECK TABLE .
Each tablespace contains a header with metadata. This header is not checked by this statement.
During the execution of CHECK TABLE , other threads may be blocked.
Description
The CHECK VIEW statement was introduced in MariaDB 10.0.18 to assist with fixing MDEV-6916 , an issue
introduced in MariaDB 5.2 where the view algorithms were swapped. It checks whether the view algorithm is correct.
It is run as part of mysql_upgrade, and should not normally be required in regular use.

CHECKSUM TABLE reports a table checksum. This is very useful if you want to know if two tables are the same (for
example on a master and slave).
With QUICK , the live table checksum is reported if it is available, or NULL otherwise. This is very fast. A live checksum
is enabled by specifying the CHECKSUM=1 table option when you create the table; currently, this is supported only for
Aria and MyISAM tables.
With EXTENDED , the entire table is read row by row and the checksum is calculated. This can be very slow for large
tables.
If neither QUICK nor EXTENDED is specified, MariaDB returns a live checksum if the table storage engine supports it and
scans the table otherwise.
CHECKSUM TABLE requires the SELECT privilege for the table.
For a nonexistent table, CHECKSUM TABLE returns NULL and generates a warning.
The table row format affects the checksum value. If the row format changes, the checksum will change. This means that
when a table created with a MariaDB/MySQL version is upgraded to another version, the checksum value will probably
change.
Two identical tables should always match to the same checksum value; however, also for non-identical tables there is a
very slight chance that they will return the same value as the hashing algorithm is not completely collision-free.

Description
Use the CREATE TABLE statement to create a table with the given name.
In its most basic form, the CREATE TABLE statement provides a table name followed by a list of columns, indexes, and
constraints. By default, the table is created in the default database. Specify a database with db_name.tbl_name . If you
quote the table name, you must quote the database name and table name separately as `db_name`.`tbl_name` . This
is particularly useful for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT, because it allows to create a table into a database, which
contains data from other databases. See Identifier Qualifiers.
If a table with the same name exists, error 1050 results. Use IF NOT EXISTS to suppress this error and issue a note
instead. Use SHOW WARNINGS to see notes.
The CREATE TABLE statement automatically commits the current transaction, except when using the TEMPORARY
keyword.
For valid identifiers to use as table names, see Identifier Names.
Note: if the default_storage_engine is set to ColumnStore then it needs setting on all UMs. Otherwise when the
tables using the default engine are replicated across UMs they will use the wrong engine. You should therefore not
use this option as a session variable with ColumnStore.
Microsecond precision can be between 0-6. If no precision is specified it is assumed to be 0, for backward compatibility
reasons.
Privileges
Executing the CREATE TABLE statement requires the CREATE privilege for the table or the database.
CREATE OR REPLACE
If the OR REPLACE clause is used and the table already exists, then instead of returning an error, the server will drop the
existing table and replace it with the newly defined table.
This syntax was originally added to make replication more robust if it has to rollback and repeat statements such as
CREATE ... SELECT on replicas.
108/3812
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE table_name (a int);
Remember that the query just returns data. If you want to use the same indexes, or the same columns attributes ( [NOT]
NULL , DEFAULT , AUTO_INCREMENT ) in the new table, you need to specify them manually. Types and sizes are not
automatically preserved if no data returned by the SELECT requires the full size, and VARCHAR could be converted into
CHAR . The CAST() function can be used to forcee the new table to use certain types.
Aliases ( AS ) are taken into account, and they should always be used when you SELECT an expression (function,
arithmetical operation, etc).
If an error occurs during the query, the table will not be created at all.
109/3812
If the new table has a primary key or UNIQUE indexes, you can use the IGNORE or REPLACE keywords to handle
duplicate key errors during the query. IGNORE means that the newer values must not be inserted an identical value
exists in the index. REPLACE means that older values must be overwritten.
If the columns in the new table are more than the rows returned by the query, the columns populated by the query will
be placed after other columns. Note that if the strict SQL_MODE is on, and the columns that are not names in the query
do not have a DEFAULT value, an error will raise and no rows will be copied.
Concurrent inserts are not used during the execution of a CREATE ... SELECT .
If the table already exists, an error similar to the following will be returned:
If the IF NOT EXISTS clause is used and the table exists, a note will be produced instead of an error.
To insert rows from a query into an existing table, INSERT ... SELECT can be used.

constraint_definition:
CONSTRAINT [constraint_name] CHECK (expression)
Note: Until MariaDB 10.4, MariaDB accepts the shortcut format with a REFERENCES clause only in ALTER
TABLE and CREATE TABLE statements, but that syntax does nothing. For example:
CREATE TABLE b(for_key INT REFERENCES a(not_key));
MariaDB simply parses it without returning any error or warning, for compatibility with other DBMS's. Before
MariaDB 10.2.1 this was also true for CHECK constraints. However, only the syntax described below creates
foreign keys.
From MariaDB 10.5, MariaDB will attempt to apply the constraint. See Foreign Keys examples.
Each definition either creates a column in the table or specifies and index or constraint on one or more columns. See
Indexes below for details on creating indexes.
Create a column by specifying a column name and a data type, optionally followed by column options. See Data Types
for a full list of data types allowed in MariaDB.
Specify a default value using the DEFAULT clause. If you don't specify DEFAULT then the following rules apply:
110/3812
If the column is not defined with NOT NULL , AUTO_INCREMENT or TIMESTAMP , an explicit DEFAULT NULL will be
added. Note that in MySQL and in MariaDB before 10.1.6, you may get an explicit DEFAULT for primary key parts,
if not specified with NOT NULL.
The default value will be used if you INSERT a row without specifying a value for that column, or if you specify
DEFAULT for that column. Before MariaDB 10.2.1 you couldn't usually provide an expression or function to evaluate
at insertion time. You had to provide a constant default value instead. The one exception is that you may use
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default value for a TIMESTAMP column to use the current timestamp at insertion time.
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP may also be used as the default value for a DATETIME
From MariaDB 10.2.1 you can use most functions in DEFAULT . Expressions should have parentheses around them. If
you use a non deterministic function in DEFAULT then all inserts to the table will be replicated in row mode. You can
even refer to earlier columns in the DEFAULT expression (excluding AUTO_INCREMENT columns):
The DEFAULT clause cannot contain any stored functions or subqueries, and a column used in the clause must already
have been defined earlier in the statement.
Since MariaDB 10.2.1 , it is possible to assign BLOB or TEXT columns a DEFAULT value. In earlier versions, assigning
a default to these columns was not possible.
REF_SYSTEM_ID
REF_SYSTEM_ID can be used to specify Spatial Reference System IDs for spatial data type columns.
Generated Columns
111/3812
A generated column is a column in a table that cannot explicitly be set to a specific value in a DML query. Instead, its
value is automatically generated based on an expression. This expression might generate the value based on the
values of other columns in the table, or it might generate the value by calling built-in functions or user-defined functions
(UDFs).
There are two types of generated columns:
PERSISTENT or STORED : This type's value is actually stored in the table.
VIRTUAL : This type's value is not stored at all. Instead, the value is generated dynamically when the table is
queried. This type is the default.
Generated columns are also sometimes called computed columns or virtual columns.
For a complete description about generated columns and their limitations, see Generated (Virtual and Persistent/Stored)
Columns.
COMPRESSED
MariaDB starting with 10.3.3
Certain columns may be compressed. See Storage-Engine Independent Column Compression.
INVISIBLE
MariaDB starting with 10.3.3
Columns may be made invisible, and hidden in certain contexts. See Invisible Columns.

Index Categories
Plain Indexes
Plain indexes are regular indexes that are not unique, and are not acting as a primary key or a foreign key. They are
also not the "specialized" FULLTEXT or SPATIAL indexes.
See Getting Started with Indexes: Plain Indexes for more information.
PRIMARY KEY
For PRIMARY KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the index, but it is ignored, and the name of the index is always
PRIMARY . From MariaDB 10.3.18 and MariaDB 10.4.8, a warning is explicitly issued if a name is specified. Before then,
the name was silently ignored.
See Getting Started with Indexes: Primary Key for more information.
UNIQUE
The UNIQUE keyword means that the index will not accept duplicated values, except for NULLs. An error will raise if you
try to insert duplicate values in a UNIQUE index.
For UNIQUE indexes, you can specify a name for the constraint, using the CONSTRAINT keyword. That name will be
used in error messages.
See Getting Started with Indexes: Unique Index for more information.
FOREIGN KEY
For FOREIGN KEY indexes, a reference definition must be provided.
For FOREIGN KEY indexes, you can specify a name for the constraint, using the CONSTRAINT keyword. That name will
be used in error messages.
First, you have to specify the name of the target (parent) table and a column or a column list which must be indexed and
whose values must match to the foreign key's values. The MATCH clause is accepted to improve the compatibility with
other DBMS's, but has no meaning in MariaDB. The ON DELETE and ON UPDATE clauses specify what must be done
when a DELETE (or a REPLACE ) statements attempts to delete a referenced row from the parent table, and when an
UPDATE statement attempts to modify the referenced foreign key columns in a parent table row, respectively. The
following options are allowed:
113/3812
RESTRICT : The delete/update operation is not performed. The statement terminates with a 1451 error
(SQLSTATE '2300').
NO ACTION : Synonym for RESTRICT .
CASCADE : The delete/update operation is performed in both tables.
SET NULL : The update or delete goes ahead in the parent table, and the corresponding foreign key fields in the
child table are set to NULL . (They must not be defined as NOT NULL for this to succeed).
SET DEFAULT : This option is currently implemented only for the PBXT storage engine, which is disabled by
default and no longer maintained. It sets the child table's foreign key fields to their DEFAULT values when the
referenced parent table key entries are updated or deleted.
If either clause is omitted, the default behavior for the omitted clause is RESTRICT .
See Foreign Keys for more information.
FULLTEXT
Use the FULLTEXT keyword to create full-text indexes.
See Full-Text Indexes for more information.
SPATIAL
Use the SPATIAL keyword to create geometric indexes.
See SPATIAL INDEX for more information.
Index Options
KEY_BLOCK_SIZE Index Option
The KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option is similar to the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option.
With the InnoDB storage engine, if you specify a non-zero value for the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option for the whole
table, then the table will implicitly be created with the ROW_FORMAT table option set to COMPRESSED . However, this
does not happen if you just set the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option for one or more indexes in the table. The InnoDB
storage engine ignores the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option. However, the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement may still
report it for the index.
For information about the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE index option, see the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option below.
Index Types
Each storage engine supports some or all index types. See Storage Engine Index Types for details on permitted index
types for each storage engine.
Different index types are optimized for different kind of operations:
BTREE is the default type, and normally is the best choice. It is supported by all storage engines. It can be used to
compare a column's value with a value using the =, >, >=, <, <=, BETWEEN , and LIKE operators. BTREE can also
be used to find NULL values. Searches against an index prefix are possible.
HASH is only supported by the MEMORY storage engine. HASH indexes can only be used for =, <=, and >=
comparisons. It can not be used for the ORDER BY clause. Searches against an index prefix are not possible.
RTREE is the default for SPATIAL indexes, but if the storage engine does not support it BTREE can be used.
Index columns names are listed between parenthesis. After each column, a prefix length can be specified. If no length is
specified, the whole column will be indexed. ASC and DESC can be specified for compatibility with are DBMS's, but
have no meaning in MariaDB.
Periods
MariaDB starting with 10.3.4
period_definition:
PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (start_column_name, end_column_name)
MariaDB supports a subset of the standard syntax for periods. At the moment it's only used for creating System-
versioned tables. Both columns must be created, must be either of a TIMESTAMP(6) or BIGINT UNSIGNED type, and
be generated as ROW START and ROW END accordingly. See System-versioned tables for details.
The table must also have the WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING clause.
Constraint Expressions
MariaDB starting with 10.2.1
MariaDB 10.2.1 introduced new ways to define a constraint.
Note: Before MariaDB 10.2.1 , constraint expressions were accepted in the syntax but ignored.
MariaDB 10.2.1 introduced two ways to define a constraint:
CHECK(expression) given as part of a column definition.
CONSTRAINT [constraint_name] CHECK (expression)
Before a row is inserted or updated, all constraints are evaluated in the order they are defined. If any constraints fails,
then the row will not be updated. One can use most deterministic functions in a constraint, including UDFs.
create table t1 (a int check(a>0) ,b int check (b> 0), constraint abc check (a>b));
If you use the second format and you don't give a name to the constraint, then the constraint will get a auto generated
name. This is done so that you can later delete the constraint with ALTER TABLE DROP constraint_name.
One can disable all constraint expression checks by setting the variable check_constraint_checks to OFF . This is
useful for example when loading a table that violates some constraints that you want to later find and fix in SQL.
See CONSTRAINT for more information.
Table Options
For each individual table you create (or alter), you can set some table options. The general syntax for setting options is:
<OPTION_NAME> = <option_value>, [<OPTION_NAME> = <option_value> ...]
The equal sign is optional.
Some options are supported by the server and can be used for all tables, no matter what storage engine they use; other
options can be specified for all storage engines, but have a meaning only for some engines. Also, engines can extend
CREATE TABLE with new options.
If the IGNORE_BAD_TABLE_OPTIONS SQL_MODE is enabled, wrong table options generate a warning; otherwise, they
generate an error.

| WITH SYSTEM VERSIONING
[STORAGE] ENGINE
[STORAGE] ENGINE specifies a storage engine for the table. If this option is not used, the default storage engine is used
instead. That is, the default_storage_engine session option value if it is set, or the value specified for the --default-
storage-engine mysqld startup option, or the default storage engine, InnoDB. If the specified storage engine is not
installed and active, the default value will be used, unless the NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION SQL MODE is set (default).
This is only true for CREATE TABLE , not for ALTER TABLE . For a list of storage engines that are present in your server,
issue a SHOW ENGINES.
AUTO_INCREMENT
AUTO_INCREMENT specifies the initial value for the AUTO_INCREMENT primary key. This works for MyISAM, Aria,
InnoDB, MEMORY, and ARCHIVE tables. You can change this option with ALTER TABLE , but in that case the new value
must be higher than the highest value which is present in the AUTO_INCREMENT column. If the storage engine does not
support this option, you can insert (and then delete) a row having the wanted value - 1 in the AUTO_INCREMENT column.
AVG_ROW_LENGTH
AVG_ROW_LENGTH is the average rows size. It only applies to tables using MyISAM and Aria storage engines that have
the ROW_FORMAT table option set to FIXED format.
MyISAM uses MAX_ROWS and AVG_ROW_LENGTH to decide the maximum size of a table (default: 256TB, or the maximum
file size allowed by the system).
CHECKSUM/TABLE_CHECKSUM
CHECKSUM (or TABLE_CHECKSUM ) can be set to 1 to maintain a live checksum for all table's rows. This makes write
116/3812
operations slower, but CHECKSUM TABLE will be very fast. This option is only supported for MyISAM and Aria tables.
[DEFAULT] COLLATE
[DEFAULT] COLLATE is used to set a default collation for the table. This is the collation used for all columns where an
explicit character set is not specified. If this option is omitted or DEFAULT is specified, database's default option will be
used. See Setting Character Sets and Collations for details on setting the collations
COMMENT
COMMENT is a comment for the table. The maximum length is 2048 characters. Also used to define table parameters
when creating a Spider table.
CONNECTION
CONNECTION is used to specify a server name or a connection string for a Spider, CONNECT, Federated or FederatedX
table.
DELAY_KEY_WRITE
DELAY_KEY_WRITE is supported by MyISAM and Aria, and can be set to 1 to speed up write operations. In that case,
when data are modified, the indexes are not updated until the table is closed. Writing the changes to the index file
altogether can be much faster. However, note that this option is applied only if the delay_key_write server variable is
set to 'ON'. If it is 'OFF' the delayed index writes are always disabled, and if it is 'ALL' the delayed index writes are
always used, disregarding the value of DELAY_KEY_WRITE .
ENCRYPTED
The ENCRYPTED table option can be used to manually set the encryption status of an InnoDB table. See InnoDB
Encryption for more information.
Aria does not support the ENCRYPTED table option. See MDEV-18049 .
See Data-at-Rest Encryption for more information.
ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID
The ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID table option can be used to manually set the encryption key of an InnoDB table. See InnoDB
Encryption for more information.
Aria does not support the ENCRYPTION_KEY_ID table option. See MDEV-18049 .
See Data-at-Rest Encryption for more information.
IETF_QUOTES
For the CSV storage engine, the IETF_QUOTES option, when set to YES , enables IETF-compatible parsing of embedded
quote and comma characters. Enabling this option for a table improves compatibility with other tools that use CSV, but is
not compatible with MySQL CSV tables, or MariaDB CSV tables created without this option. Disabled by default.
INSERT_METHOD
117/3812
INSERT_METHOD is only used with MERGE tables. This option determines in which underlying table the new rows should
be inserted. If you set it to 'NO' (which is the default) no new rows can be added to the table (but you will still be able to
perform INSERT s directly against the underlying tables). FIRST means that the rows are inserted into the first table,
and LAST means that thet are inserted into the last table.
KEY_BLOCK_SIZE
KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is used to determine the size of key blocks, in bytes or kilobytes. However, this value is just a hint, and
the storage engine could modify or ignore it. If KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is set to 0, the storage engine's default value will be
used.
With the InnoDB storage engine, if you specify a non-zero value for the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE table option for the whole
table, then the table will implicitly be created with the ROW_FORMAT table option set to COMPRESSED .
MIN_ROWS/MAX_ROWS
MIN_ROWS and MAX_ROWS let the storage engine know how many rows you are planning to store as a minimum and as a
maximum. These values will not be used as real limits, but they help the storage engine to optimize the table. MIN_ROWS
is only used by MEMORY storage engine to decide the minimum memory that is always allocated. MAX_ROWS is used to
decide the minimum size for indexes.
PACK_KEYS
PACK_KEYS can be used to determine whether the indexes will be compressed. Set it to 1 to compress all keys. With a
value of 0, compression will not be used. With the DEFAULT value, only long strings will be compressed. Uncompressed
keys are faster.
PAGE_CHECKSUM
PAGE_CHECKSUM is only applicable to Aria tables, and determines whether indexes and data should use page checksums
for extra safety.
PAGE_COMPRESSED
PAGE_COMPRESSED is used to enable InnoDB page compression for InnoDB tables.
PAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL
PAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL is used to set the compression level for InnoDB page compression for InnoDB tables. The
table must also have the PAGE_COMPRESSED table option set to 1 .
Valid values for PAGE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL are 1 (the best speed) through 9 (the best compression), .
PASSWORD
PASSWORD is unused.
RAID_TYPE
RAID_TYPE is an obsolete option, as the raid support has been disabled since MySQL 5.0.
ROW_FORMAT
The ROW_FORMAT table option specifies the row format for the data file. Possible values are engine-dependent.
118/3812
For Aria, the supported row formats are:
PAGE
FIXED
DYNAMIC .
See Aria Storage Formats for more information.
SEQUENCE
MariaDB starting with 10.3
If the table is a sequence, then it will have the SEQUENCE set to 1 .
STATS_AUTO_RECALC
STATS_AUTO_RECALC indicates whether to automatically recalculate persistent statistics (see STATS_PERSISTENT , below)
for an InnoDB table. If set to 1 , statistics will be recalculated when more than 10% of the data has changed. When set
to 0 , stats will be recalculated only when an ANALYZE TABLE is run. If set to DEFAULT , or left out, the value set by the
innodb_stats_auto_recalc system variable applies. See InnoDB Persistent Statistics.
STATS_PERSISTENT
STATS_PERSISTENT indicates whether the InnoDB statistics created by ANALYZE TABLE will remain on disk or not. It
can be set to 1 (on disk), 0 (not on disk, the pre-MariaDB 10 behavior), or DEFAULT (the same as leaving out the
option), in which case the value set by the innodb_stats_persistent system variable will apply. Persistent statistics
stored on disk allow the statistics to survive server restarts, and provide better query plan stability. See InnoDB
Persistent Statistics.
STATS_SAMPLE_PAGES
STATS_SAMPLE_PAGES indicates how many pages are used to sample index statistics. If 0 or DEFAULT, the default
value, the innodb_stats_sample_pages value is used. See InnoDB Persistent Statistics.
TRANSACTIONAL
TRANSACTIONAL is only applicable for Aria tables. In future Aria tables created with this option will be fully transactional,
but currently this provides a form of crash protection. See Aria Storage Engine for more details.
UNION
UNION must be specified when you create a MERGE table. This option contains a comma-separated list of MyISAM
tables which are accessed by the new table. The list is enclosed between parenthesis. Example: UNION = (t1,t2)

If the PARTITION BY clause is used, the table will be partitioned. A partition method must be explicitly indicated for
partitions and subpartitions. Partition methods are:
[LINEAR] HASH creates a hash key which will be used to read and write rows. The partition function can be any
valid SQL expression which returns an INTEGER number. Thus, it is possible to use the HASH method on an
integer column, or on functions which accept integer columns as an argument. However, VALUES LESS THAN and
VALUES IN clauses can not be used with HASH . An example:
[LINEAR] KEY is similar to HASH , but the index has an even distribution of data. Also, the expression can only be
a column or a list of columns. VALUES LESS THAN and VALUES IN clauses can not be used with KEY .
RANGE partitions the rows using on a range of values, using the VALUES LESS THAN operator. VALUES IN is not
allowed with RANGE . The partition function can be any valid SQL expression which returns a single value.
LIST assigns partitions based on a table's column with a restricted set of possible values. It is similar to RANGE ,
but VALUES IN must be used for at least 1 columns, and VALUES LESS THAN is disallowed.
SYSTEM_TIME partitioning is used for System-versioned tables to store historical data separately from current
data.
Only HASH and KEY can be used for subpartitions, and they can be [LINEAR] .
It is possible to define up to 1024 partitions and subpartitions.
The number of defined partitions can be optionally specified as PARTITION count . This can be done to avoid specifying
all partitions individually. But you can also declare each individual partition and, additionally, specify a PARTITIONS
count clause; in the case, the number of PARTITION s must equal count.

Option Description
Wait until all SELECT's are done before starting the statement. Used with storage engines that
LOW_PRIORITY uses table locking (MyISAM, Aria etc). See HIGH_PRIORITY and LOW_PRIORITY clauses for
details.
Signal the storage engine that it should expect that a lot of rows are deleted. The storage engine
engine can do things to speed up the DELETE like ignoring merging of data blocks until all rows
QUICK
are deleted from the block (instead of when a block is half full). This speeds up things at the
expanse of lost space in data blocks. At least MyISAM and Aria support this feature.
Don't stop the query even if a not-critical error occurs (like data overflow). See How IGNORE
IGNORE
works for a full description.
For the single-table syntax, the DELETE statement deletes rows from tbl_name and returns a count of the number of
deleted rows. This count can be obtained by calling the ROW_COUNT() function. The WHERE clause, if given, specifies
the conditions that identify which rows to delete. With no WHERE clause, all rows are deleted. If the ORDER BY clause
is specified, the rows are deleted in the order that is specified. The LIMIT clause places a limit on the number of rows
that can be deleted.
For the multiple-table syntax, DELETE deletes from each tbl_name the rows that satisfy the conditions. In this case,
ORDER BY and LIMIT> cannot be used. A DELETE can also reference tables which are located in different databases;
see Identifier Qualifiers for the syntax.
where_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for each row to be deleted. It is specified as described in
SELECT.
Currently, you cannot delete from a table and select from the same table in a subquery.
You need the DELETE privilege on a table to delete rows from it. You need only the SELECT privilege for any columns
that are only read, such as those named in the WHERE clause. See GRANT.
As stated, a DELETE statement with no WHERE clause deletes all rows. A faster way to do this, when you do not need to
know the number of deleted rows, is to use TRUNCATE TABLE . However, within a transaction or if you have a lock on the
table, TRUNCATE TABLE cannot be used whereas DELETE can. See TRUNCATE TABLE, and LOCK.

RETURNING
It is possible to return a resultset of the deleted rows for a single table to the client by using the syntax DELETE ...
RETURNING select_expr [, select_expr2 ...]]
Any of SQL expression that can be calculated from a single row fields is allowed. Subqueries are allowed. The AS
keyword is allowed, so it is possible to use aliases.
The use of aggregate functions is not allowed. RETURNING cannot be used in multi-table DELETEs.
DELETE HISTORY
One can use DELETE HISTORY to delete historical information from System-versioned tables.
Examples
How to use the ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses:
The following statement joins two tables: one is only used to satisfy a WHERE condition, but no row is deleted from it;
rows from the other table are deleted, instead.

Description
DROP TABLE removes one or more tables. You must have the DROP privilege for each table. All table data and the table
definition are removed, as well as triggers associated to the table, so be careful with this statement! If any of the tables
named in the argument list do not exist, MariaDB returns an error indicating by name which non-existing tables it was
unable to drop, but it also drops all of the tables in the list that do exist.
Important: When a table is dropped, user privileges on the table are not automatically dropped. See GRANT.
If another thread is using the table in an explicit transaction or an autocommit transaction, then the thread acquires a
metadata lock (MDL) on the table. The DROP TABLE statement will wait in the "Waiting for table metadata lock" thread
state until the MDL is released. MDLs are released in the following cases:
If an MDL is acquired in an explicit transaction, then the MDL will be released when the transaction ends.
If an MDL is acquired in an autocommit transaction, then the MDL will be released when the statement ends.
Transactional and non-transactional tables are handled the same.
Note that for a partitioned table, DROP TABLE permanently removes the table definition, all of its partitions, and all of the
data which was stored in those partitions. It also removes the partitioning definition (.par) file associated with the
dropped table.
For each referenced table, DROP TABLE drops a temporary table with that name, if it exists. If it does not exist, and the
TEMPORARY keyword is not used, it drops a non-temporary table with the same name, if it exists. The TEMPORARY
keyword ensures that a non-temporary table will not accidentally be dropped.
Use IF EXISTS to prevent an error from occurring for tables that do not exist. A NOTE is generated for each non-
existent table when using IF EXISTS . See SHOW WARNINGS.
If a foreign key references this table, the table cannot be dropped. In this case, it is necessary to drop the foreign key
first.
RESTRICT and CASCADE are allowed to make porting from other database systems easier. In MariaDB, they do nothing.
The comment before the table names ( /*COMMENT TO SAVE*/ ) is stored in the binary log. That feature can be used by
replication tools to send their internal messages.
It is possible to specify table names as db_name . tab_name . This is useful to delete tables from multiple databases with
one statement. See Identifier Qualifiers for details.
The DROP privilege is required to use DROP TABLE on non-temporary tables. For temporary tables, no privilege is
required, because such tables are only visible for the current session.
Note: DROP TABLE automatically commits the current active transaction, unless you use the TEMPORARY keyword.
124/3812
MariaDB starting with 10.5.4
From MariaDB 10.5.4, DROP TABLE reliably deletes table remnants inside a storage engine even if the .frm file is
missing. Before then, a missing .frm file would result in the statement failing.
WAIT/NOWAIT
Set the lock wait timeout. See WAIT and NOWAIT.
When running an ALTER TABLE…ALGORITHM=INPLACE that rebuilds the table, InnoDB will create an internal #sql-ib
table. Until MariaDB 10.3.2, for these tables, the .frm file will be called something else. In order to drop such a table
after a server crash, you must rename the #sql*.frm file to match the #sql-ib*.ibd file.
From MariaDB 10.3.3, the same name as the .frm file is used for the intermediate copy of the table. The #sql-ib names
are used by TRUNCATE and delayed DROP.
From MariaDB 10.2.19 and MariaDB 10.3.10, the #sql-ib tables will be deleted automatically.
Examples
DROP TABLE Employees, Customers;

Beware that DROP TABLE can drop both tables and sequences. This is mainly done to allow old tools like mysqldump to
work with sequences.

mysqlcheck is a maintenance tool that allows you to check, repair, analyze and optimize multiple tables from the
command line.
It is essentially a commandline interface to the CHECK TABLE, REPAIR TABLE, ANALYZE TABLE and OPTIMIZE
TABLE commands, and so, unlike myisamchk and aria_chk, requires the server to be running.
This tool does not work with partitioned tables.
Using mysqlcheck
./client/mysqlcheck [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR
OR
mysqlcheck can be used to CHECK (-c, -m, -C), REPAIR (-r), ANALYZE (-a), or OPTIMIZE (-o) tables. Some of the
options (like -e or -q) can be used at the same time. Not all options are supported by all storage engines.
The -c, -r, -a and -o options are exclusive to each other.
The option --check will be used by default, if no other options were specified. You can change the default behavior by
making a symbolic link to the binary, or copying it somewhere with another name, the alternatives are:
Options
mysqlcheck supports the following options:
Option Description
-A , --all-
Check all the databases. This is the same as --databases with all databases selected.
databases
Instead of issuing one query for each table, use one query per database, naming all tables in the
-1 , --all-in-1
database in a comma-separated list.
-a , --analyze Analyze given tables.
If a checked table is corrupted, automatically fix it. Repairing will be done after all tables have
--auto-repair
been checked.
--character-
Directory where character set files are installed.
sets-dir=name
-g , --check- Check tables for version-dependent changes. May be used with --auto-repair to correct tables
upgrade requiring version-dependent updates. Automatically enables the --fix-db-names and --fix-
table-names options. Used when upgrading
127/3812
--compress Compress all information sent between the client and server if both support compression.
Check several databases. Note that normally mysqlcheck treats the first argument as a database
-B , --
name, and following arguments as table names. With this option, no tables are given, and all name
databases
arguments are regarded as database names.
-# , --
Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o,filename'.
debug[=name]
--default-
character- Set the default character set.
set=name
If you are using this option with --check , it will ensure that the table is 100 percent consistent, but
-e , --extended will take a long time. If you are using this option with --repair , it will force using the old, slow,
repair with keycache method, instead of the much faster repair by sorting.
-F , --fast Check only tables that haven't been closed properly.
Convert database names to the format used since MySQL 5.1. Only database names that contain
--fix-db-names
special characters are affected. Used when upgrading from an old MySQL version.
--fix-table- Convert table names (including views) to the format used since MySQL 5.1. Only table names that
names contain special characters are affected. Used when upgrading from an old MySQL version.
Flush each table after check. This is useful if you don't want to have the checked tables take up
--flush
space in the caches after the check.
-f , --force Continue even if we get an SQL error.
-? , --help Display this help message and exit.
-h name , --
Connect to the given host.
host=name
-m , --medium- Faster than extended-check, but only finds 99.99 percent of all errors. Should be good enough for
check most cases.
-o , --optimize Optimize tables.
Password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form ( -p ), you cannot
have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following the
-p , --
--password or -p option on the command line, mysqlcheck prompts for one. Specifying a
password[=name]
password on the command line should be considered insecure. You can use an option file to avoid
giving the password on the command line.
-Z , -- When using ANALYZE TABLE ( --analyze ), uses the PERSISTENT FOR ALL option, which
persistent forces Engine-independent Statistics for this table to be updated. Added in MariaDB 10.1.10
On Windows, connect to the server via a named pipe. This option applies only if the server
-W , --pipe
supports named-pipe connections.
--plugin-dir Directory for client-side plugins.
-P num , -- Port number to use for connection or 0 for default to, in order of preference, my.cnf,
port=num $MYSQL_TCP_PORT, /etc/services, built-in default (3306).
--process- Perform the requested operation (check, repair, analyze, optimize) on tables. Enabled by default.
tables Use --skip-process-tables to disable.
Perform the requested operation (only CHECK VIEW or REPAIR VIEW). Possible values are NO,
--process-
YES (correct the checksum, if necessary, add the mariadb-version field),
views[=val]
UPGRADE_FROM_MYSQL (same as YES and toggle the algorithm MERGE<->TEMPTABLE.
The connection protocol (tcp, socket, pipe, memory) to use for connecting to the server. Useful
--
when other connection parameters would cause a protocol to be used other than the one you
protocol=name
want.
If you are using this option with CHECK TABLE, it prevents the check from scanning the rows to
-q , --quick check for wrong links. This is the fastest check. If you are using this option with REPAIR TABLE, it
will try to repair only the index tree. This is the fastest repair method for a table.
-r , --repair Can fix almost anything except unique keys that aren't unique.
128/3812
--shared-
Shared-memory name to use for Windows connections using shared memory to a local server
memory-base-
(started with the --shared-memory option). Case-sensitive.
name
-S name , -- For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of the named
socket=name pipe to use.
Enables TLS. TLS is also enabled even without setting this option when certain other TLS options
are set. Starting with MariaDB 10.2, the --ssl option will not enable verifying the server
--ssl
certificate by default. In order to verify the server certificate, the user must specify the --ssl-
verify-server-cert option.

--write-binlog
use --skip-write-binlog when commands should not be sent to replication slaves.
Option Files
129/3812
In addition to reading options from the command-line, mysqlcheck can also read options from option files. If an
unknown option is provided to mysqlcheck in an option file, then it is ignored.
The following options relate to how MariaDB command-line tools handles option files. They must be given as the first
argument on the command-line:
Option Description
--print-defaults Print the program argument list and exit.
--no-defaults Don't read default options from any option file.
--defaults-file=# Only read default options from the given file #.
--defaults-extra-file=# Read this file after the global files are read.
--defaults-group-suffix=# In addition to the default option groups, also read option groups with this suffix.
In MariaDB 10.2 and later, mysqlcheck is linked with MariaDB Connector/C . However, MariaDB Connector/C does
not yet handle the parsing of option files for this client. That is still performed by the server option file parsing code. See
MDEV-19035 for more information.
Option Groups
mysqlcheck reads options from the following option groups from option files:

Description
OPTIMIZE TABLE has two main functions. It can either be used to defragment tables, or to update the InnoDB fulltext
index.
Defragmenting
OPTIMIZE TABLE works for InnoDB (before MariaDB 10.1.1 , only if the innodb_file_per_table server system variable
is set), Aria, MyISAM and ARCHIVE tables, and should be used if you have deleted a large part of a table or if you have
made many changes to a table with variable-length rows (tables that have VARCHAR, VARBINARY, BLOB, or TEXT
columns). Deleted rows are maintained in a linked list and subsequent INSERT operations reuse old row positions.
This statement requires SELECT and INSERT privileges for the table.
By default, OPTIMIZE TABLE statements are written to the binary log and will be replicated. The NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG
keyword ( LOCAL is an alias) will ensure the statement is not written to the binary log.
From MariaDB 10.3.19, OPTIMIZE TABLE statements are not logged to the binary log if read_only is set. See also Read-
Only Replicas.
OPTIMIZE TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. You can use ALTER TABLE ... OPTIMIZE PARTITION to
optimize one or more partitions.
You can use OPTIMIZE TABLE to reclaim the unused space and to defragment the data file. With other storage engines,
OPTIMIZE TABLE does nothing by default, and returns this message: " The storage engine for the table doesn't support
optimize". However, if the server has been started with the --skip-new option, OPTIMIZE TABLE is linked to ALTER
TABLE, and recreates the table. This operation frees the unused space and updates index statistics.
The Aria storage engine supports progress reporting for this statement.
If a MyISAM table is fragmented, concurrent inserts will not be performed until an OPTIMIZE TABLE statement is
executed on that table, unless the concurrent_insert server system variable is set to ALWAYS .
131/3812
feature loads n pages (determined by innodb-defragment-n-pages) and tries to move records so that pages would be
full of records and then frees pages that are fully empty after the operation. Note that tablespace files (including
ibdata1) will not shrink as the result of defragmentation, but one will get better memory utilization in the InnoDB buffer
pool as there are fewer data pages in use.

Description
This statement renames one or more tables or views, but not the privileges associated with them.
IF EXISTS
MariaDB starting with 10.5.2
If this directive is used, one will not get an error if the table to be renamed doesn't exist.
The rename operation is done atomically, which means that no other session can access any of the tables while the
rename is running. For example, if you have an existing table old_table , you can create another table new_table that
has the same structure but is empty, and then replace the existing table with the empty one as follows (assuming that
backup_table does not already exist):
tbl_name can optionally be specified as db_name . tbl_name . See Identifier Qualifiers. This allows to use RENAME to
move a table from a database to another (as long as they are on the same filesystem):
Note that moving a table to another database is not possible if it has some triggers. Trying to do so produces the
following error:
ERROR 1450 (HY000): Changing schema from 'old_db' to 'new_db' is not allowed.
Multiple tables can be renamed in a single statement. The presence or absence of the optional S ( RENAME TABLE or
RENAME TABLES ) has no impact, whether a single or multiple tables are being renamed.
If a RENAME TABLE renames more than one table and one renaming fails, all renames executed by the same statement
132/3812
are rolled back.
Renames are always executed in the specified order. Knowing this, it is also possible to swap two tables' names:

REPAIR TABLE is also supported for partitioned tables. However, the USE_FRM option cannot be used with this

The REPAIR VIEW statement was introduced to assist with fixing MDEV-6916 , an issue introduced in MariaDB 5.2
where the view algorithms were swapped compared to their MySQL on disk representation. It checks whether the view
algorithm is correct. It is run as part of mysql_upgrade, and should not normally be required in regular use.
By default it corrects the checksum and if necessary adds the mariadb-version field. If the optional FROM MYSQL clause
is used, and no mariadb-version field is present, the MERGE and TEMPTABLE algorithms are toggled.
By default, REPAIR VIEW statements are written to the binary log and will be replicated. The NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG

Description
REPLACE works exactly like INSERT , except that if an old row in the table has the same value as a new row for a
PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE index, the old row is deleted before the new row is inserted. If the table has more than one
UNIQUE keys, it is possible that the new row conflicts with more than one row. In this case, all conflicting rows will be
deleted.
The table name can be specified in the form db_name . tbl_name or, if a default database is selected, in the form
tbl_name (see Identifier Qualifiers). This allows to use REPLACE ... SELECT to copy rows between different
databases.
BEGIN;
SELECT 1 FROM t1 WHERE key=# FOR UPDATE;
IF found-row
DELETE FROM t1 WHERE key=# ;
ENDIF
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (...);
END;
REPLACE is a MariaDB/MySQL extension to the SQL standard. It either inserts, or deletes and inserts. For other
MariaDB/MySQL extensions to standard SQL --- that also handle duplicate values --- see IGNORE and INSERT ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
Note that unless the table has a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE index, using a REPLACE statement makes no sense. It
becomes equivalent to INSERT , because there is no index to be used to determine whether a new row duplicates
another.
Values for all columns are taken from the values sSee Partition Pruning and Selection for details.pecified in the
REPLACE statement. Any missing columns are set to their default values, just as happens for INSERT . You cannot refer
to values from the current row and use them in the new row. If you use an assignment such as 'SET col = col + 1' ,
the reference to the column name on the right hand side is treated as DEFAULT(col) , so the assignment is equivalent to
'SET col = DEFAULT(col) + 1' .
To use REPLACE , you must have both the INSERT and DELETE privileges for the table.
There are some gotchas you should be aware of, before using REPLACE :
If there is an AUTO_INCREMENT field, a new value will be generated.
If there are foreign keys, ON DELETE action will be activated by REPLACE .
Triggers on DELETE and INSERT will be activated by REPLACE .
To avoid some of these behaviors, you can use INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE .
This statement activates INSERT and DELETE triggers. See Trigger Overview for details.

REPLACE RETURNING
REPLACE ... RETURNING returns a resultset of the replaced rows.
This returns the listed columns for all the rows that are replaced, or alternatively, the specified SELECT expression. Any
135/3812
SQL expressions which can be calculated can be used in the select expression for the RETURNING clause, including
virtual columns and aliases, expressions which use various operators such as bitwise, logical and arithmetic operators,
string functions, date-time functions, numeric functions, control flow functions, secondary functions and stored functions.
Along with this, statements which have subqueries and prepared statements can also be used.
Examples
Simple REPLACE statement

Aggregate functions cannot be used in the RETURNING clause. Since aggregate functions work on a set of values and
if the purpose is to get the row count, ROW_COUNT() with SELECT can be used, or it can be used in

Description
SHOW COLUMNS displays information about the columns in a given table. It also works for views. The LIKE clause, if
137/3812
present on its own, indicates which column names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be given to select rows
using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.
If the data types differ from what you expect them to be based on a CREATE TABLE statement, note that MariaDB
sometimes changes data types when you create or alter a table. The conditions under which this occurs are described
in the Silent Column Changes article.
The FULL keyword causes the output to include the column collation and comments, as well as the privileges you have
for each column.
You can use db_name.tbl_name as an alternative to the tbl_name FROM db_name syntax. In other words, these two
statements are equivalent:
SHOW COLUMNS displays the following values for each table column:
Field indicates the column name.
Type indicates the column data type.
Collation indicates the collation for non-binary string columns, or NULL for other columns. This value is displayed only
if you use the FULL keyword.
The Null field contains YES if NULL values can be stored in the column, NO if not.
The Key field indicates whether the column is indexed:
If Key is empty, the column either is not indexed or is indexed only as a secondary column in a multiple-column,
non-unique index.
If Key is PRI, the column is a PRIMARY KEY or is one of the columns in a multiple-column PRIMARY KEY .
If Key is UNI, the column is the first column of a unique-valued index that cannot contain NULL values.
If Key is MUL, multiple occurrences of a given value are allowed within the column. The column is the first
column of a non-unique index or a unique-valued index that can contain NULL values.
If more than one of the Key values applies to a given column of a table, Key displays the one with the highest priority,
in the order PRI, UNI, MUL.
A UNIQUE index may be displayed as PRI if it cannot contain NULL values and there is no PRIMARY KEY in the table. A
UNIQUE index may display as MUL if several columns form a composite UNIQUE index; although the combination of the
columns is unique, each column can still hold multiple occurrences of a given value.
The Default field indicates the default value that is assigned to the column.
The Extra field contains any additional information that is available about a given column.
Value Description
AUTO_INCREMENT The column was created with the AUTO_INCREMENT keyword.
PERSISTENT The column was created with the PERSISTENT keyword. (New in 5.3)
VIRTUAL The column was created with the VIRTUAL keyword. (New in 5.3)
on update The column is a TIMESTAMP column that is automatically updated on INSERT and
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP UPDATE .
Privileges indicates the privileges you have for the column. This value is displayed only if you use the FULL keyword.
Comment indicates any comment the column has. This value is displayed only if you use the FULL keyword.
SHOW FIELDS is a synonym for SHOW COLUMNS . Also DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN can be used as shortcuts.

138/3812
SHOW COLUMNS FROM city;

Description
Shows the CREATE TABLE statement that created the given table. The statement requires the SELECT privilege for
the table. This statement also works with views and SEQUENCE.
SHOW CREATE TABLE quotes table and column names according to the value of the sql_quote_show_create server
system variable.
Certain SQL_MODE values can result in parts of the original CREATE statement not being included in the output.
MariaDB-specific table options, column options, and index options are not included in the output of this statement if
the NO_TABLE_OPTIONS, NO_FIELD_OPTIONS and NO_KEY_OPTIONS SQL_MODE flags are used. All
MariaDB-specific table attributes are also not shown when a non-MariaDB/MySQL emulation mode is used, which
includes ANSI, DB2, POSTGRESQL, MSSQL, MAXDB or ORACLE.
Invalid table options, column options and index options are normally commented out (note, that it is possible to create a
table with invalid options, by altering a table of a different engine, where these options were valid). To have them
uncommented, enable the IGNORE_BAD_TABLE_OPTIONS SQL_MODE. Remember that replaying a CREATE
TABLE statement with uncommented invalid options will fail with an error, unless the IGNORE_BAD_TABLE_OPTIONS
SQL_MODE is in effect.
Note that SHOW CREATE TABLE is not meant to provide metadata about a table. It provides information about how the
139/3812
table was declared, but the real table structure could differ a bit. For example, if an index has been declared as HASH ,
the CREATE TABLE statement returned by SHOW CREATE TABLE will declare that index as HASH ; however, it is possible
that the index is in fact a BTREE , because the storage engine does not support HASH .
Index Order
Indexes are sorted and displayed in the following order, which may differ from the order of the CREATE TABLE
statement.
PRIMARY KEY
UNIQUE keys where all column are NOT NULL
UNIQUE keys that don't contain partial segments
Other UNIQUE keys
LONG UNIQUE keys
Normal keys
Fulltext keys
See sql/sql_table.cc for details.

Description
TRUNCATE TABLE empties a table completely. It requires the DROP privilege. See GRANT.
tbl_name can also be specified in the form db_name . tbl_name (see Identifier Qualifiers).
Logically, TRUNCATE TABLE is equivalent to a DELETE statement that deletes all rows, but there are practical
differences under some circumstances.
TRUNCATE TABLE will fail for an InnoDB table if any FOREIGN KEY constraints from other tables reference the table,
returning the error:
ERROR 1701 (42000): Cannot truncate a table referenced in a foreign key constraint
Foreign Key constraints between columns in the same table are permitted.
For an InnoDB table, if there are no FOREIGN KEY constraints, InnoDB performs fast truncation by dropping the original
table and creating an empty one with the same definition, which is much faster than deleting rows one by one. The
AUTO_INCREMENT counter is reset by TRUNCATE TABLE , regardless of whether there is a FOREIGN KEY constraint.
The count of rows affected by TRUNCATE TABLE is accurate only when it is mapped to a DELETE statement.
For other storage engines, TRUNCATE TABLE differs from DELETE in the following ways:
Truncate operations drop and re-create the table, which is much faster than deleting rows one by one, particularly
for large tables.
Truncate operations cause an implicit commit.
Truncation operations cannot be performed if the session holds an active table lock.
Truncation operations do not return a meaningful value for the number of deleted rows. The usual result is "0
rows affected," which should be interpreted as "no information."
As long as the table format file tbl_name.frm is valid, the table can be re-created as an empty table with
TRUNCATE TABLE , even if the data or index files have become corrupted.
The table handler does not remember the last used AUTO_INCREMENT value, but starts counting from the
beginning. This is true even for MyISAM and InnoDB, which normally do not reuse sequence values.
When used with partitioned tables, TRUNCATE TABLE preserves the partitioning; that is, the data and index files
are dropped and re-created, while the partition definitions (.par) file is unaffected.
Since truncation of a table does not make any use of DELETE , the TRUNCATE statement does not invoke ON
DELETE triggers.
TRUNCATE TABLE will only reset the values in the Performance Schema summary tables to zero or null, and will
not remove the rows.
For the purposes of binary logging and replication, TRUNCATE TABLE is treated as DROP TABLE followed by CREATE
TABLE (DDL rather than DML).
TRUNCATE TABLE does not work on views. Currently, TRUNCATE TABLE drops all historical records from a system-
versioned table.
Oracle-mode
Oracle-mode from MariaDB 10.3 permits the optional keywords REUSE STORAGE or DROP STORAGE to be used.
TRUNCATE [TABLE] tbl_name [{DROP | REUSE} STORAGE] [WAIT n | NOWAIT]
Performance
TRUNCATE TABLE is faster than DELETE, because it drops and re-creates a table.
With InnoDB, TRUNCATE TABLE is slower if innodb_file_per_table=ON is set (the default). This is because TRUNCATE
TABLE unlinks the underlying tablespace file, which can be an expensive operation. See MDEV-8069 for more details.
144/3812
The performance issues with innodb_file_per_table=ON can be exacerbated in cases where the InnoDB buffer pool is
very large and innodb_adaptive_hash_index=ON is set. In that case, using DROP TABLE followed by CREATE TABLE
instead of TRUNCATE TABLE may perform better. Setting innodb_adaptive_hash_index=OFF (it defaults to ON before
MariaDB 10.5) can also help. In MariaDB 10.2 only, from MariaDB 10.2.19 , this performance can also be improved by
setting innodb_safe_truncate=OFF. See MDEV-9459 for more details.
Setting innodb_adaptive_hash_index=OFF can also improve TRUNCATE TABLE performance in general. See MDEV-
16796 for more details.

Source and Target

Description
For the single-table syntax, the UPDATE statement updates columns of existing rows in the named table with new
values. The SET clause indicates which columns to modify and the values they should be given. Each value can be
given as an expression, or the keyword DEFAULT to set a column explicitly to its default value. The WHERE clause, if
given, specifies the conditions that identify which rows to update. With no WHERE clause, all rows are updated. If the
ORDER BY clause is specified, the rows are updated in the order that is specified. The LIMIT clause places a limit on
the number of rows that can be updated.
Until MariaDB 10.3.2, for the multiple-table syntax, UPDATE updates rows in each table named in table_references that
satisfy the conditions. In this case, ORDER BY and LIMIT cannot be used. This restriction was lifted in MariaDB 10.3.2
and both clauses can be used with multiple-table updates. An UPDATE can also reference tables which are located in
different databases; see Identifier Qualifiers for the syntax.
where_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for each row to be updated.
For single-table updates, assignments are evaluated in left-to-right order, while for multi-table updates, there is no
guarantee of a particular order. If the SIMULTANEOUS_ASSIGNMENT sql_mode (available from MariaDB 10.3.5) is set,
UPDATE statements evaluate all assignments simultaneously.
You need the UPDATE privilege only for columns referenced in an UPDATE that are actually updated. You need only the
SELECT privilege for any columns that are read but not modified. See GRANT.
The UPDATE statement supports the following modifiers:
145/3812
If you use the LOW_PRIORITY keyword, execution of the UPDATE is delayed until no other clients are reading from
the table. This affects only storage engines that use only table-level locking (MyISAM, MEMORY, MERGE). See
HIGH_PRIORITY and LOW_PRIORITY clauses for details.
If you use the IGNORE keyword, the update statement does not abort even if errors occur during the update.
Rows for which duplicate-key conflicts occur are not updated. Rows for which columns are updated to values that
would cause data conversion errors are updated to the closest valid values instead.

Description
The ANALYZE statement is similar to the EXPLAIN statement . ANALYZE statement will invoke the optimizer, execute
the statement, and then produce EXPLAIN output instead of the result set. The EXPLAIN output will be annotated with
statistics from statement execution.
This lets one check how close the optimizer's estimates about the query plan are to the reality. ANALYZE produces an
overview, while the ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON command provides a more detailed view of the query plan and the
query execution.
The syntax is
ANALYZE explainable_statement;
where the statement is any statement for which one can run EXPLAIN.
Command Output
Consider an example:
150/3812
ANALYZE SELECT *
FROM orders, customer
WHERE
customer.c_custkey=orders.o_custkey AND
customer.c_acctbal < 0 AND
orders.o_totalprice > 200*1000

7 | 10 | 100.00 | 30.03 | Using where |
+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+--------------------+----
----+--------+----------+------------+-------------+
ANALYZE SELECT *
FROM orders, customer
WHERE
customer.c_custkey=orders.o_custkey AND
customer.c_acctbal < -0 AND
customer.c_comment LIKE '%foo%' AND
orders.o_totalprice > 200*1000;
+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+--------------------+----
----+--------+----------+------------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref |
rows | r_rows | filtered | r_filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+--------------------+----
----+--------+----------+------------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | customer | ALL | PRIMARY,... | NULL | NULL | NULL |
149095 | 150000 | 18.08 | 0.00 | Using where |
| 1 | SIMPLE | orders | ref | i_o_custkey | i_o_custkey | 5 | customer.c_custkey |
7 | NULL | 100.00 | NULL | Using where |
+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------------+---------+--------------------+----
----+--------+----------+------------+-------------+
Here, one can see that orders.r_rows=NULL and orders.r_filtered=NULL. This means that table orders was not
scanned even once. Indeed, we can also see customer.r_filtered=0.00. This shows that a part of WHERE attached to
table `customer` was never satisfied (or, satisfied in less than 0.01% of cases).
ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON produces JSON output. It produces much more information than tabular ANALYZE .
Notes
151/3812
ANALYZE UPDATE or ANALYZE DELETE will actually make updates/deletes ( ANALYZE SELECT will perform the select
operation and then discard the resultset).
PostgreSQL has a similar command, EXPLAIN ANALYZE .
The EXPLAIN in the slow query log feature allows MariaDB to have ANALYZE output of slow queries printed into
the slow query log (see MDEV-6388 ).

The EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a synonym for DESCRIBE or as a way to obtain information about how
MariaDB executes a SELECT , UPDATE or DELETE statement:
'EXPLAIN tbl_name' is synonymous with 'DESCRIBE tbl_name' or 'SHOW COLUMNS FROM tbl_name' .
When you precede a SELECT , UPDATE or a DELETE statement with the keyword EXPLAIN , MariaDB displays
information from the optimizer about the query execution plan. That is, MariaDB explains how it would process the
SELECT , UPDATE or DELETE , including information about how tables are joined and in which order. EXPLAIN
EXTENDED can be used to provide additional information.
EXPLAIN PARTITIONS is useful only when examining queries involving partitioned tables.
For details, see Partition pruning and selection.
ANALYZE statement performs the query as well as producing EXPLAIN output, and provides actual as well as
estimated statistics.
EXPLAIN output can be printed in the slow query log. See EXPLAIN in the Slow Query Log for details.
SHOW EXPLAIN shows the output of a running statement. In some cases, its output can be closer to reality than
EXPLAIN .
The ANALYZE statement runs a statement and returns information about its execution plan. It also shows additional
columns, to check how much the optimizer's estimation about filtering and found rows are close to reality.
There is an online EXPLAIN Analyzer that you can use to share EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN EXTENDED output with others.
EXPLAIN can acquire metadata locks in the same way that SELECT does, as it needs to know table metadata and,
sometimes, data as well.
Here are descriptions of the values for some of the more complex columns in EXPLAIN ... SELECT :
"Select_type" Column
The select_type column can have the following values:
DEPENDENT
The UNION is DEPENDENT .
UNION
UNCACHEABLE
The UNION is UNCACHEABLE .
UNION
"Type" Column
This column contains information on how the table is accessed.
Value Description
A full table scan is done for the table (all rows are read). This is bad if the table is large and the
ALL table is joined against a previous table! This happens when the optimizer could not find any
usable index to access rows.
There is only one possibly matching row in the table. The row is read before the optimization
const
phase and all columns in the table are treated as constants.
eq_ref A unique index is used to find the rows. This is the best possible plan to find the row.
153/3812
fulltext A fulltext index is used to access the rows.
A 'range' access is done for for several index and the found rows are merged. The key column
index_merge
shows which keys are used.
index_subquery This is similar as ref, but used for sub queries that are transformed to key lookups.
A full scan over the used index. Better than ALL but still bad if index is large and the table is
index
joined against a previous table.
range The table will be accessed with a key over one or more value ranges.
Like 'ref' but in addition another search for the 'null' value is done if the first value was not found.
ref_or_null
This happens usually with sub queries.
A non unique index or prefix of an unique index is used to find the rows. Good if the prefix doesn't
ref
match many rows.
system The table has 0 or 1 rows.
unique_subquery This is similar as eq_ref, but used for sub queries that are transformed to key lookups
"Extra" Column
This column consists of one or more of the following values, separated by ';'
Note that some of these values are detected after the optimization phase.
The optimization phase can do the following changes to the WHERE clause:
Add the expressions from the ON and USING clauses to the WHERE clause.
Constant propagation: If there is column=constant , replace all column instances with this constant.
Replace all columns from ' const ' tables with their values.
Remove the used key columns from the WHERE (as this will be tested as part of the key lookup).
Remove impossible constant sub expressions. For example WHERE '(a=1 and a=2) OR b=1' becomes 'b=1' .
Replace columns with other columns that has identical values: Example: WHERE a=b and a=c may be treated as
'WHERE a=b and a=c and b=c' .
Add extra conditions to detect impossible row conditions earlier. This happens mainly with OUTER JOIN where we
in some cases add detection of NULL values in the WHERE (Part of ' Not exists ' optimization). This can cause an
unexpected ' Using where ' in the Extra column.
For each table level we remove expressions that have already been tested when we read the previous row.
Example: When joining tables t1 with t2 using the following WHERE 't1.a=1 and t1.a=t2.b' , we don't have to
test 't1.a=1' when checking rows in t2 as we already know that this expression is true.

Impossible WHERE
The used WHERE clause is always false so the SELECT will return no rows. This case was

Stop searching after more row if we find one single matching row. This optimization is used with
LEFT JOIN where one is explicitly searching for rows that doesn't exists in the LEFT JOIN

NULL . As t2.not_null_column can only be NULL if there was no matching row for on

The UPDATE statement will first buffer the rows, and then run the updates, rather than do

updates on the fly. See Using Buffer UPDATE Algorithm for a detailed explanation.
EXPLAIN EXTENDED
The EXTENDED keyword adds another column, filtered, to the output. This is a percentage estimate of the table rows
that will be filtered by the condition.
An EXPLAIN EXTENDED will always throw a warning, as it adds extra Message information to a subsequent SHOW
WARNINGS statement. This includes what the SELECT query would look like after optimizing and rewriting rules are
applied and how the optimizer qualifies columns and tables.
Examples
155/3812
As synonym for DESCRIBE or SHOW COLUMNS FROM :
DESCRIBE city;
+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| Name | char(35) | YES | | NULL | |
| Country | char(3) | NO | UNI | | |
| District | char(20) | YES | MUL | | |
| Population | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
+------------+----------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
A simple set of examples to see how EXPLAIN can identify poor index usage:
The type is const, which means that only one possible result could be returned. Now, returning the same record but
searching by their phone number:
156/3812
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM employees_example WHERE home_phone='326-555-3492';
+------+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------
------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra
|
+------+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------
------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | employees_example | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 6 | Using
where |
+------+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------
------+
Here, the type is All , which means no index could be used. Looking at the rows count, a full table scan (all six rows) had
to be performed in order to retrieve the record. If it's a requirement to search by phone number, an index will have to be
created.
SHOW EXPLAIN example:
ref_or_null is something that often happens when you use subqueries with NOT IN as then one has to do an extra
check for NULL values if the first value didn't have a matching row.

Synopsis
EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON is a variant of EXPLAIN command that produces output in JSON form. The output always has
one row which has only one column titled " JSON ". The contents are a JSON representation of the query plan, formatted
for readability:

Name Salary
Babatunde 1000
Jolana 1050
Pankaja 1300
Suppose the employees table has an index on the salary column, and the optimizer decides to use a range scan on that
index.
The optimizer starts a range scan on the salary index. We find the first record Babatunde, 1000. If we do an on-the-fly
update, we immediately instruct the storage engine to change this record to be Babatunde, 1000+100=1100.
Then we proceed to search for the next record, and find Jolana, 1050. We instruct the storage engine to update it to be
Jolana, 1050+100=1150.
Then we proceed to search for the next record ... and what happens next depends on the storage engine. In some
storage engines, data changes are visible immediately, so we will find find the Babatunde, 1100 record that we wrote at
the first step, modifying it again, giving Babatunde an undeserved raise. Then we will see Babatunde again and again,
looping continually.
In order to prevent such situations, the optimizer checks whether the UPDATE statement is going to change key values
for the keys it is using. In that case, it will use a different algorithm:
1. Scan everyone with "salary<2000", remembering the rowids of the rows in a buffer.
2. Read the buffer and apply the updates.
This way, each row will be updated only once.
The Using buffer EXPLAIN output indicates that the buffer as described above will be used.

The BACKUP STAGE commands are a set of commands to make it possible to make an efficient external backup tool.
Syntax
BACKUP STAGE [START | FLUSH | BLOCK_DDL | BLOCK_COMMIT | END ]
In the following text, a transactional table means InnoDB or "InnoDB-like engine with redo log that can lock redo purges
and can be copied without locks by an outside process".
161/3812
Wait for all statements using write locked non-transactional tables to end.
Blocks CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE, and RENAME TABLE.
Blocks also start off a new ALTER TABLE and the final rename phase of ALTER TABLE. Running ALTER
TABLES are not blocked.
If you would like to use a version of Mariabackup that uses the BACKUP STAGE commands in an efficient way,
then one option is to use MariaDB Enterprise Backup that is bundled with MariaDB Enterprise Server .
Privileges
BACKUP STAGE requires the RELOAD privilege.
Notes
Only one connection can run BACKUP STAGE START . If a second connection tries, it will wait until the first one has
executed BACKUP STAGE END .
If the user skips a BACKUP STAGE , then all intermediate backup stages will automatically be run. This will allow us
to add new stages within the BACKUP STAGE hierarchy in the future with even more precise locks without causing
problems for tools using an earlier version of the BACKUP STAGE implementation.
One can use the max_statement_time or lock_wait_timeout system variables to ensure that a BACKUP STAGE
command doesn't block the server too long.
DDL logging will only be available in MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.2 and later.
A disconnect will automatically release backup stages.
There is no easy way to see which is the current stage.

BACKUP LOCK blocks a table from DDL statements. This is mainly intended to be used by tools like mariabackup that
need to ensure there are no DDLs on a table while the table files are opened. For example, for an Aria table that stores
data in 3 files with extensions .frm, .MAI and .MAD. Normal read/write operations can continue as normal.
Syntax
To lock a table:
To unlock a table:
BACKUP UNLOCK
This ensures that all files are from the same generation, that is created at the same time by the MariaDB server. This
works, because the open files will point to the original table files which will not be affected if there is any ALTER TABLE
while copying the files.
Privileges
BACKUP LOCK requires the RELOAD privilege.
Notes
The idea is that the BACKUP LOCK should be held for as short a time as possible by the backup tool. The time to
take an uncontested lock is very short! One can easily do 50,000 locks/unlocks per second on low end hardware.
One should use different connections for BACKUP STAGE commands and BACKUP LOCK .
Implementation
Internally, BACKUP LOCK is implemented by taking an MDLSHARED_HIGH_PRIO MDL lock on the table object,
which protects the table from any DDL operations.

Snapshots
The BACKUP STAGE commands are a set of commands to make it possible to make an efficient external backup tool.
These commands could even be used by tools that perform backups by taking a snapshot of a file system, SAN, or
some other kind of storage device.
The above ensures that all non-transactional tables are properly flushed to disk before the snapshot is done. Using
BACKUP STAGE commands is also more efficient than using the FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK command as the
above set of commands will not block or be blocked by write operations to transactional tables.
Note that when the backup is completed, one should delete all files with the "#sql" prefix, as these are files used by
concurrent running ALTER TABLE . Note that InnoDB will on server restart automatically delete any tables with the "#sql"
prefix.

Description
The FLUSH statement clears or reloads various internal caches used by MariaDB. To execute FLUSH , you must have
the RELOAD privilege. See GRANT.
The RESET statement is similar to FLUSH . See RESET.
You cannot issue a FLUSH statement from within a stored function or a trigger. Doing so within a stored procedure is
permitted, as long as it is not called by a stored function or trigger. See Stored Routine Limitations, Stored Function
Limitations and Trigger Limitations.
If a listed table is a view, an error like the following will be produced:
By default, FLUSH statements are written to the binary log and will be replicated. The NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG keyword
( LOCAL is an alias) will ensure the statement is not written to the binary log.

is provided, from MariaDB 10.4.1, the server will wait for the end of any transactions that
are using the tables. Previously, FLUSH TABLES only waited for the statements to
complete.

FLUSH SSL
MariaDB starting with 10.4
The FLUSH SSL command was first added in MariaDB 10.4.
In MariaDB 10.4 and later, the FLUSH SSL command can be used to dynamically reinitialize the server's TLS context.
This is most useful if you need to replace a certificate that is about to expire without restarting the server.
This operation is performed by reloading the files defined by the following TLS system variables:
ssl_cert
ssl_key
ssl_ca
ssl_capath
ssl_crl
ssl_crlpath
These TLS system variables are not dynamic, so their values can not be changed without restarting the server.
If you want to dynamically reinitialize the server's TLS context, then you need to change the certificate and key files at
the relevant paths defined by these TLS system variables, without actually changing the values of the variables. See
MDEV-19341 for more information.

Description
The CHANGE MASTER statement sets the options that a replica uses to connect to and replicate from a primary.
Multi-Source Replication
If you are using multi-source replication, then you need to specify a connection name when you execute CHANGE
MASTER . There are two ways to do this:
default_master_connection
173/3812
SET default_master_connection = 'gandalf';
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret';
START SLAVE;
connection_name
STOP SLAVE 'gandalf';
CHANGE MASTER 'gandalf' TO
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret';
START SLAVE 'gandalf';
Options
Connection Options
MASTER_USER
The MASTER_USER option for CHANGE MASTER defines the user account that the replica will use to connect to the
primary.
This user account will need the REPLICATION SLAVE privilege (or, from MariaDB 10.5.1, the REPLICATION REPLICA
on the primary.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_USER='repl',
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret';
START SLAVE;
The maximum length of the MASTER_USER string is 96 characters until MariaDB 10.5, and 128 characters from MariaDB
10.6.
MASTER_PASSWORD
The MASTER_USER option for CHANGE MASTER defines the password that the replica will use to connect to the primary as
the user account defined by the MASTER_USER option.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret';
START SLAVE;
MASTER_HOST
The MASTER_HOST option for CHANGE MASTER defines the hostname or IP address of the primary.
If you set the value of the MASTER_HOST option to the empty string, then that is not the same as not setting the option's
value at all. If you set the value of the MASTER_HOST option to the empty string, then the CHANGE MASTER command will
fail with an error. In MariaDB 5.3 and before, if you set the value of the MASTER_HOST option to the empty string, then
the CHANGE MASTER command would succeed, but the subsequent START SLAVE command would fail.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='dbserver1.example.com',
MASTER_USER='repl',
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret',
MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos;
START SLAVE;
If you set the value of the MASTER_HOST option in a CHANGE MASTER command, then the replica assumes that the
174/3812
primary is different from before, even if you set the value of this option to the same value it had previously. In this
scenario, the replica will consider the old values for the primary's binary log file name and position to be invalid for
the new primary. As a side effect, if you do not explicitly set the values of the MASTER_LOG_FILE and
MASTER_LOG_POS options in the statement, then the statement will be implicitly appended with
MASTER_LOG_FILE='' and MASTER_LOG_POS=4 . However, if you enable GTID mode for replication by setting the
MASTER_USE_GTID option to some value other than no in the statement, then these values will effectively be
ignored anyway.
Replicas cannot connect to primaries using Unix socket files or Windows named pipes. The replica must connect to
the primary using TCP/IP.
The maximum length of the MASTER_HOST string is 60 characters until MariaDB 10.5, and 255 characters from MariaDB
10.6.
MASTER_PORT
The MASTER_PORT option for CHANGE MASTER defines the TCP/IP port of the primary.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='dbserver1.example.com',
MASTER_PORT=3307,
MASTER_USER='repl',
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret',
MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos;
START SLAVE;
If you set the value of the MASTER_PORT option in a CHANGE MASTER command, then the replica assumes that the
primary is different from before, even if you set the value of this option to the same value it had previously. In this
scenario, the replica will consider the old values for the primary's binary log file name and position to be invalid for
the new primary. As a side effect, if you do not explicitly set the values of the MASTER_LOG_FILE and
MASTER_LOG_POS options in the statement, then the statement will be implicitly appended with
MASTER_LOG_FILE='' and MASTER_LOG_POS=4 . However, if you enable GTID mode for replication by setting the
MASTER_USE_GTID option to some value other than no in the statement, then these values will effectively be
ignored anyway.
Replicas cannot connect to primaries using Unix socket files or Windows named pipes. The replica must connect to
the primary using TCP/IP.
MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY
The MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY option for CHANGE MASTER defines how many seconds that the replica will wait between
connection retries. The default is 60 .
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY=20;
START SLAVE;
The number of connection attempts is limited by the master_retry_count option. It can be set either on the command-line
or in a server option group in an option file prior to starting up the server. For example:
[mariadb]
...
master_retry_count=4294967295
MASTER_BIND
The MASTER_BIND option for CHANGE MASTER is only supported by MySQL 5.6.2 and later and by MySQL NDB
Cluster 7.3.1 and later. This option is not supported by MariaDB. See MDEV-19248 for more information.
MASTER_HEARTBEAT_PERIOD
175/3812
The MASTER_HEARTBEAT_PERIOD option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to set the interval in seconds between
replication heartbeats. Whenever the primary's binary log is updated with an event, the waiting period for the next
heartbeat is reset.
This option's interval argument has the following characteristics:
It is a decimal value with a range of 0 to 4294967 seconds.
It has a resolution of hundredths of a second.
Its smallest valid non-zero value is 0.001 .
Its default value is the value of the slave_net_timeout system variable divided by 2.
If it's set to 0 , then heartbeats are disabled.
Heartbeats are sent by the primary only if there are no unsent events in the binary log file for a period longer than the
interval.
If the RESET SLAVE statement is executed, then the heartbeat interval is reset to the default.
If the slave_net_timeout system variable is set to a value that is lower than the current heartbeat interval, then a
warning will be issued.
TLS Options
The TLS options are used for providing information about TLS. The options can be set even on replicas that are
compiled without TLS support. The TLS options are saved to either the default master.info file or the file that is
configured by the master_info_file option, but these TLS options are ignored unless the replica supports TLS.
See Replication with Secure Connections for more information.
MASTER_SSL
The MASTER_SSL option for CHANGE MASTER tells the replica whether to force TLS for the connection. The valid values
are 0 or 1 .
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL=1;
START SLAVE;
MASTER_SSL_CA
The MASTER_SSL_CA option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a PEM file that should contain one or more X509
certificates for trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) to use for TLS. This option requires that you use the absolute path,
not a relative path. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;
START SLAVE;
See Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Authorities (CAs) for more information.
The maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CA string is 511 characters.
MASTER_SSL_CAPATH
The MASTER_SSL_CAPATH option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a directory that contains one or more PEM files
that should each contain one X509 certificate for a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) to use for TLS. This option requires
that you use the absolute path, not a relative path. The directory specified by this option needs to be run through the
openssl rehash command. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.
For example:
176/3812
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CAPATH='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca/',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;
START SLAVE;
See Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Authorities (CAs) for more information.
The maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CA_PATH string is 511 characters.
MASTER_SSL_CERT
The MASTER_SSL_CERT option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to the X509 certificate file to use for TLS. This option
requires that you use the absolute path, not a relative path. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;
START SLAVE;
MASTER_SSL_CRL
The MASTER_SSL_CRL option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a PEM file that should contain one or more revoked
X509 certificates to use for TLS. This option requires that you use the absolute path, not a relative path.
This option is only supported if the server was built with OpenSSL. If the server was built with yaSSL, then this option is
not supported. See TLS and Cryptography Libraries Used by MariaDB for more information about which libraries are
used on which platforms.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1,
MASTER_SSL_CRL='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/crl.pem';
START SLAVE;
See Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for more information.
The maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CRL string is 511 characters.
MASTER_SSL_CRLPATH
The MASTER_SSL_CRLPATH option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a directory that contains one or more PEM files
that should each contain one revoked X509 certificate to use for TLS. This option requires that you use the absolute
path, not a relative path. The directory specified by this variable needs to be run through the openssl rehash
command.
This option is only supported if the server was built with OpenSSL. If the server was built with yaSSL, then this option is
not supported. See TLS and Cryptography Libraries Used by MariaDB for more information about which libraries are
used on which platforms.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1,
MASTER_SSL_CRLPATH='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/crl/';
START SLAVE;
See Secure Connections Overview: Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for more information.
177/3812
The maximum length of MASTER_SSL_CRL_PATH string is 511 characters.
MASTER_SSL_KEY
The MASTER_SSL_KEY option for CHANGE MASTER defines a path to a private key file to use for TLS. This option requires
that you use the absolute path, not a relative path. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;
START SLAVE;
MASTER_SSL_CIPHER
The MASTER_SSL_CIPHER option for CHANGE MASTER defines the list of permitted ciphers or cipher suites to use for TLS.
Besides cipher names, if MariaDB was compiled with OpenSSL, this option could be set to "SSLv3" or "TLSv1.2" to
allow all SSLv3 or all TLSv1.2 ciphers. Note that the TLSv1.3 ciphers cannot be excluded when using OpenSSL, even
by using this option. See Using TLSv1.3 for details. This option implies the MASTER_SSL option.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1,
MASTER_SSL_CIPHER='TLSv1.2';
START SLAVE;
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT
The MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT option for CHANGE MASTER enables server certificate verification. This option is
disabled by default.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_SSL_CERT='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-cert.pem',
MASTER_SSL_KEY='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/server-key.pem',
MASTER_SSL_CA='/etc/my.cnf.d/certificates/ca.pem',
MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT=1;
START SLAVE;
See Secure Connections Overview: Server Certificate Verification for more information.
MASTER_LOG_FILE
The MASTER_LOG_FILE option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with MASTER_LOG_POS to specify the coordinates
at which the replica's I/O thread should begin reading from the primary's binary logs the next time the thread starts.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_LOG_FILE='master2-bin.001',
MASTER_LOG_POS=4;
START SLAVE;
178/3812
The MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the RELAY_LOG_FILE and
RELAY_LOG_POS options were also specified.
The MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options are effectively ignored if you enable GTID mode for
replication by setting the MASTER_USE_GTID option to some value other than no in the statement.
MASTER_LOG_POS
The MASTER_LOG_POS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with MASTER_LOG_FILE to specify the coordinates
at which the replica's I/O thread should begin reading from the primary's binary logs the next time the thread starts.
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_LOG_FILE='master2-bin.001',
MASTER_LOG_POS=4;
START SLAVE;
The MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the RELAY_LOG_FILE and
RELAY_LOG_POS options were also specified.
The MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options are effectively ignored if you enable GTID mode for
replication by setting the MASTER_USE_GTID option to some value other than no in the statement.
RELAY_LOG_FILE
The RELAY_LOG_FILE option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with the RELAY_LOG_POS option to specify the
coordinates at which the replica's SQL thread should begin reading from the relay log the next time the thread starts.
The CHANGE MASTER statement usually deletes all relay log files. However, if the RELAY_LOG_FILE and/or
RELAY_LOG_POS options are specified, then existing relay log files are kept.
When you want to change the relay log position, you only need to stop the replica's SQL thread. The replica's I/O thread
can continue running. The STOP SLAVE and START SLAVE statements support the SQL_THREAD option for this
scenario. For example:
When the value of this option is changed, the metadata about the replica's SQL thread's position in the relay logs will
also be changed in the relay-log.info file or the file that is configured by the relay_log_info_file system variable.
The RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the MASTER_LOG_FILE and
MASTER_LOG_POS options were also specified.
RELAY_LOG_POS
The RELAY_LOG_POS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used along with the RELAY_LOG_FILE option to specify the
coordinates at which the replica's SQL thread should begin reading from the relay log the next time the thread starts.
The CHANGE MASTER statement usually deletes all relay log files. However, if the RELAY_LOG_FILE and/or
RELAY_LOG_POS options are specified, then existing relay log files are kept.
When you want to change the relay log position, you only need to stop the replica's SQL thread. The replica's I/O thread
can continue running. The STOP SLAVE and START SLAVE statements support the SQL_THREAD option for this
scenario. For example:
179/3812
STOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD;
CHANGE MASTER TO
RELAY_LOG_FILE='slave-relay-bin.006',
RELAY_LOG_POS=4025;
START SLAVE SQL_THREAD;
When the value of this option is changed, the metadata about the replica's SQL thread's position in the relay logs will
also be changed in the relay-log.info file or the file that is configured by the relay_log_info_file system variable.
The RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options cannot be specified if the MASTER_LOG_FILE and
MASTER_LOG_POS options were also specified.
GTID Options
MASTER_USE_GTID
The MASTER_USE_GTID option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure the replica to use the global transaction ID
(GTID) when connecting to a primary. The possible values are:
current_pos - Replicate in GTID mode and use gtid_current_pos as the position to start downloading
transactions from the primary. Deprecated from MariaDB 10.10. Using to transition to primary can break the
replication state if the replica executes local transactions due to actively updating gtid_current_pos with
gtid_binlog_pos and gtid_slave_pos. Use the new, safe, MASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE=<bool> option
instead.
slave_pos - Replicate in GTID mode and use gtid_slave_pos as the position to start downloading transactions
from the primary. From MariaDB 10.5.1, replica_pos is an alias for slave_pos .
no - Don't replicate in GTID mode.
MASTER_DEMOTE_TO_SLAVE
For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_USE_GTID = current_pos;
START SLAVE;
Or:
STOP SLAVE;
SET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos='0-1-153';
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_USE_GTID = slave_pos;
START SLAVE;
IGNORE_SERVER_IDS
The IGNORE_SERVER_IDS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure a replica to ignore binary log events that
originated from certain servers. Filtered binary log events will not get logged to the replica’s relay log, and they will not
be applied by the replica.
The option's value can be specified by providing a comma-separated list of server_id values. For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
IGNORE_SERVER_IDS = (3,5);
START SLAVE;
If you would like to clear a previously set list, then you can set the value to an empty list. For example:
180/3812
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
IGNORE_SERVER_IDS = ();
START SLAVE;
DO_DOMAIN_IDS
The DO_DOMAIN_IDS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure a replica to only apply binary log events if the
transaction's GTID is in a specific gtid_domain_id value. Filtered binary log events will not get logged to the replica’s
relay log, and they will not be applied by the replica.
The option's value can be specified by providing a comma-separated list of gtid_domain_id values. Duplicate values are
automatically ignored. For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
DO_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);
START SLAVE;
If you would like to clear a previously set list, then you can set the value to an empty list. For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
DO_DOMAIN_IDS = ();
START SLAVE;
The DO_DOMAIN_IDS option and the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option cannot both be set to non-empty values at
the same time. If you want to set the DO_DOMAIN_IDS option, and the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option was
previously set, then you need to clear the value of the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option. For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = (),
DO_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);
START SLAVE;
The DO_DOMAIN_IDS option can only be specified if the replica is replicating in GTID mode. Therefore, the
MASTER_USE_GTID option must also be set to some value other than no in order to use this option.
IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS
The IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option for CHANGE MASTER can be used to configure a replica to ignore binary log events if the
transaction's GTID is in a specific gtid_domain_id value. Filtered binary log events will not get logged to the replica’s
relay log, and they will not be applied by the replica.
The option's value can be specified by providing a comma-separated list of gtid_domain_id values. Duplicate values are
automatically ignored. For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);
START SLAVE;
If you would like to clear a previously set list, then you can set the value to an empty list. For example:
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = ();
START SLAVE;
The DO_DOMAIN_IDS option and the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option cannot both be set to non-empty values at
the same time. If you want to set the IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option, and the DO_DOMAIN_IDS option was
previously set, then you need to clear the value of the DO_DOMAIN_IDS option. For example:
181/3812
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
DO_DOMAIN_IDS = (),
IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS = (1,2);
START SLAVE;
The IGNORE_DOMAIN_IDS option can only be specified if the replica is replicating in GTID mode. Therefore, the
MASTER_USE_GTID option must also be set to some value other than no in order to use this option.
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_DELAY=3600;
START SLAVE;
STOP SLAVE;
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_PASSWORD='new3cret';
START SLAVE;
There are some cases where options are implicitly reset, such as when the MASTER_HOST and MASTER_PORT
options are changed.
Option Persistence
The values of the MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS options (i.e. the binary log position on the primary)
and most other options are written to either the default master.info file or the file that is configured by the
master_info_file option. The replica's I/O thread keeps this binary log position updated as it downloads events only
when MASTER_USE_GTID option is set to NO . Otherwise the file is not updated on a per event basis.
The master_info_file option can be set either on the command-line or in a server option group in an option file prior to
starting up the server. For example:
[mariadb]
...
master_info_file=/mariadb/myserver1-master.info
The values of the RELAY_LOG_FILE and RELAY_LOG_POS options (i.e. the relay log position) are written to either
the default relay-log.info file or the file that is configured by the relay_log_info_file system variable. The replica's
SQL thread keeps this relay log position updated as it applies events.
The relay_log_info_file system variable can be set either on the command-line or in a server option group in an option
file prior to starting up the server. For example:
[mariadb]
...
relay_log_info_file=/mariadb/myserver1-relay-log.info
GTID Persistence
182/3812
If the replica is replicating binary log events that contain GTIDs, then the replica's SQL thread will write every GTID that
it applies to the mysql.gtid_slave_pos table. This GTID can be inspected and modified through the gtid_slave_pos
system variable.
If the replica has the log_slave_updates system variable enabled and if the replica has the binary log enabled, then
every write by the replica's SQL thread will also go into the replica's binary log. This means that GTIDs of replicated
transactions would be reflected in the value of the gtid_binlog_pos system variable.
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_LOG_FILE='master2-bin.001',
MASTER_LOG_POS=4;
START SLAVE;
Or you could execute something like this to use the GTID position:
See Setting up a Replication Slave with Mariabackup for more information on how to do this with Mariabackup.
Example
The following example changes the primary and primary's binary log coordinates. This is used when you want to set up
the replica to replicate the primary:
CHANGE MASTER TO
MASTER_HOST='master2.mycompany.com',
MASTER_USER='replication',
MASTER_PASSWORD='bigs3cret',
MASTER_PORT=3306,
MASTER_LOG_FILE='master2-bin.001',
MASTER_LOG_POS=4,
MASTER_CONNECT_RETRY=10;
START SLAVE;

The terms master and slave have historically been used in replication, but the terms terms primary and replica are
now preferred. The old terms are used still used in parts of the documentation, and in MariaDB commands,
although MariaDB 10.5 has begun the process of renaming. The documentation process is ongoing. See MDEV-
18777 to follow progress on this effort.

Description
START SLAVE ( START REPLICA from MariaDB 10.5.1) with no thread_type options starts both of the replica threads (see
replication). The I/O thread reads events from the primary server and stores them in the relay log. The SQL thread
reads events from the relay log and executes them. START SLAVE requires the SUPER privilege, or, from MariaDB
10.5.2, the REPLICATION SLAVE ADMIN privilege.
If START SLAVE succeeds in starting the replica threads, it returns without any error. However, even in that case, it
might be that the replica threads start and then later stop (for example, because they do not manage to connect to the
primary or read its binary log, or some other problem). START SLAVE does not warn you about this. You must check the
replica's error log for error messages generated by the replica threads, or check that they are running satisfactorily with
SHOW SLAVE STATUS (SHOW REPLICA STATUS from MariaDB 10.5.1).
START SLAVE UNTIL master_gtid_pos=xxx is also supported. See Global Transaction ID/START SLAVE UNTIL
master_gtid_pos=xxx for more details.
connection_name
If there is only one nameless primary, or the default primary (as specified by the default_master_connection system
variable) is intended, connection_name can be omitted. If provided, the START SLAVE statement will apply to the
specified primary. connection_name is case-insensitive.
184/3812
START ALL SLAVES
START ALL SLAVES starts all configured replicas (replicas with master_host not empty) that were not started before. It
will give a note for all started connections. You can check the notes with SHOW WARNINGS.
START REPLICA

CHANGE MASTER TO is used to create and change connections.
STOP SLAVE is used to stop a running connection.
RESET SLAVE is used to reset parameters for a connection and also to permanently delete a primary
connection.

Stops the replica threads. STOP SLAVE requires the SUPER privilege, or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the REPLICATION
SLAVE ADMIN privilege.
Like START SLAVE, this statement may be used with the IO_THREAD and SQL_THREAD options to name the thread or
threads to be stopped. In almost all cases, one never need to use the thread_type options.
STOP SLAVE waits until any current replication event group affecting one or more non-transactional tables has finished
executing (if there is any such replication group), or until the user issues a KILL QUERY or KILL CONNECTION
statement.
Note that STOP SLAVE doesn't delete the connection permanently. Next time you execute START SLAVE or the
MariaDB server restarts, the replica connection is restored with it's original arguments. If you want to delete a
connection, you should execute RESET SLAVE.

connection_name
The connection_name option is used for multi-source replication.
If there is only one nameless master, or the default master (as specified by the default_master_connection system
variable) is intended, connection_name can be omitted. If provided, the STOP SLAVE statement will apply to the
specified master. connection_name is case-insensitive.
STOP REPLICA

CHANGE MASTER TO is used to create and change connections.
START SLAVE is used to start a predefined connection.
RESET SLAVE is used to reset parameters for a connection and also to permanently delete a master connection.

Description
RESET REPLICA/SLAVE makes the replica forget its replication position in the master's binary log. This statement is
meant to be used for a clean start. It deletes the master.info and relay-log.info files, all the relay log files, and starts a
new relay log file. To use RESET REPLICA/SLAVE, the replica threads must be stopped (use STOP REPLICA/SLAVE if
necessary).
Note: All relay log files are deleted, even if they have not been completely executed by the slave SQL thread. (This
is a condition likely to exist on a replication slave if you have issued a STOP REPLICA/SLAVE statement or if the
slave is highly loaded.)
Note: RESET REPLICA does not reset the global gtid_slave_pos variable. This means that a replica server
configured with CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_USE_GTID=slave_pos will not receive events with GTIDs occurring
before the state saved in gtid_slave_pos . If the intent is to reprocess these events, gtid_slave_pos must be
manually reset, e.g. by executing set global gtid_slave_pos="" .
Connection information stored in the master.info file is immediately reset using any values specified in the
corresponding startup options. This information includes values such as master host, master port, master user, and
186/3812
master password. If the replica SQL thread was in the middle of replicating temporary tables when it was stopped, and
RESET REPLICA/SLAVE is issued, these replicated temporary tables are deleted on the slave.
The ALL also resets the PORT , HOST , USER and PASSWORD parameters for the slave. If you are using a connection
name, it will permanently delete it and it will not show up anymore in SHOW ALL REPLICAS/SLAVE STATUS.
connection_name
The connection_name option is used for multi-source replication.
If there is only one nameless primary, or the default primary (as specified by the default_master_connection system
variable) is intended, connection_name can be omitted. If provided, the RESET REPLICA/SLAVE statement will apply to
the specified primary. connection_name is case-insensitive.

STOP REPLICA/SLAVE stops the replica, but it can be restarted with START REPLICA/SLAVE or after next
MariaDB server restart.

Description
This statement skips the next N events from the primary. This is useful for recovering from replication stops caused by
a statement.
If multi-source replication is used, this statement applies to the default connection. It could be necessary to change the
value of the default_master_connection system variable.
Note that, if the event is a transaction, the whole transaction will be skipped. With non-transactional engines, an event
is always a single statement.
This statement is valid only when the replica threads are not running. Otherwise, it produces an error.
The statement does not automatically restart the replica threads.
Example
SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G
...
SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter = 1;
START SLAVE;
187/3812
Multi-source replication:
ERROR 1966 (HY000): When using parallel replication and GTID with multiple
replication domains, @@sql_slave_skip_counter can not be used. Instead,
setting @@gtid_slave_pos explicitly can be used to skip to after a given GTID
position.
In order to skip transactions in cases like this, you will have to manually change gtid_slave_pos.

Syntax
SHOW RELAYLOG ['connection_name'] EVENTS
[IN 'log_name'] [FROM pos] [LIMIT [offset,] row_count]

Description
On replicas, this command shows the events in the relay log. If 'log_name' is not specified, the first relay log is shown.
Syntax for the LIMIT clause is the same as for SELECT ... LIMIT.
Using the LIMIT clause is highly recommended because the SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS command returns the
complete contents of the relay log, which can be quite large.
This command does not return events related to setting user and system variables. If you need those, use mariadb-
binlog/mysqlbinlog.
On the primary, this command does nothing.
Requires the REPLICA MONITOR privilege (>= MariaDB 10.5.9), the REPLICATION SLAVE ADMIN privilege (>=
MariaDB 10.5.2) or the REPLICATION SLAVE privilege (<= MariaDB 10.5.1).
connection_name
If there is only one nameless primary, or the default primary (as specified by the default_master_connection system
variable) is intended, connection_name can be omitted. If provided, the SHOW RELAYLOG statement will apply to the
specified primary. connection_name is case-insensitive.

+------------+-----------+------+-----------+
Server_id : The unique server ID of the replica server, as configured in the server's option file, or on the
command line with --server-id=value.
Host : The host name of the replica server, as configured in the server's option file, or on the command line with
--report-host=host_name . Note that this can differ from the machine name as configured in the operating
system.
Port : The port the replica server is listening on.
Master_id : The unique server ID of the primary server that the replica server is replicating from.
Some MariaDB and MySQL versions report another variable, rpl_recovery_rank. This variable was never used, and
was eventually removed in MariaDB 10.1.2 .
Requires the REPLICATION MASTER ADMIN privilege (>= MariaDB 10.5.2) or the REPLICATION SLAVE privilege (<=
MariaDB 10.5.1).

Description
This statement installs an individual plugin from the specified library. To install the whole library (which could be
required), use INSTALL SONAME. See also Installing a Plugin.
plugin_name is the name of the plugin as defined in the plugin declaration structure contained in the library file. Plugin
names are not case sensitive. For maximal compatibility, plugin names should be limited to ASCII letters, digits, and
underscore, because they are used in C source files, shell command lines, M4 and Bourne shell scripts, and SQL
environments.
plugin_library is the name of the shared library that contains the plugin code. The file name extension can be
omitted (which makes the statement look the same on all architectures).
The shared library must be located in the plugin directory (that is, the directory named by the plugin_dir system
variable). The library must be in the plugin directory itself, not in a subdirectory. By default, plugin_dir is plugin
directory under the directory named by the pkglibdir configuration variable, but it can be changed by setting the value
of plugin_dir at server startup. For example, set its value in a my.cnf file:
[mysqld]
plugin_dir=/path/to/plugin/directory
If the value of plugin_dir is a relative path name, it is taken to be relative to the MySQL base directory (the value of the
basedir system variable).
197/3812
INSTALL PLUGIN adds a line to the mysql.plugin table that describes the plugin. This table contains the plugin name
and library file name.
INSTALL PLUGIN causes the server to read option ( my.cnf ) files just as during server startup. This enables the plugin
to pick up any relevant options from those files. It is possible to add plugin options to an option file even before loading
a plugin (if the loose prefix is used). It is also possible to uninstall a plugin, edit my.cnf , and install the plugin again.
Restarting the plugin this way enables it to the new option values without a server restart.
INSTALL PLUGIN also loads and initializes the plugin code to make the plugin available for use. A plugin is initialized by
executing its initialization function, which handles any setup that the plugin must perform before it can be used.
To use INSTALL PLUGIN , you must have the INSERT privilege for the mysql.plugin table.
At server startup, the server loads and initializes any plugin that is listed in the mysql.plugin table. This means that a
plugin is installed with INSTALL PLUGIN only once, not every time the server starts. Plugin loading at startup does not
occur if the server is started with the --skip-grant-tables option.
When the server shuts down, it executes the de-initialization function for each plugin that is loaded so that the plugin
has a chance to perform any final cleanup.
If you need to load plugins for a single server startup when the --skip-grant-tables option is given (which tells the
server not to read system tables), use the --plugin-load mysqld option.
Examples
INSTALL PLUGIN sphinx SONAME 'ha_sphinx.so';

If the value of plugin_dir is a relative path name, it is taken to be relative to the MySQL base directory (the value of the
basedir system variable).
INSTALL SONAME adds one or more lines to the mysql.plugin table that describes the plugin. This table contains the
plugin name and library file name.
INSTALL SONAME causes the server to read option ( my.cnf ) files just as during server startup. This enables the plugin
to pick up any relevant options from those files. It is possible to add plugin options to an option file even before loading
a plugin (if the loose prefix is used). It is also possible to uninstall a plugin, edit my.cnf , and install the plugin again.
Restarting the plugin this way enables it to the new option values without a server restart.
INSTALL SONAME also loads and initializes the plugin code to make the plugin available for use. A plugin is initialized by
executing its initialization function, which handles any setup that the plugin must perform before it can be used.
To use INSTALL SONAME , you must have the INSERT privilege for the mysql.plugin table.
At server startup, the server loads and initializes any plugin that is listed in the mysql.plugin table. This means that a
plugin is installed with INSTALL SONAME only once, not every time the server starts. Plugin loading at startup does not
occur if the server is started with the --skip-grant-tables option.
When the server shuts down, it executes the de-initialization function for each plugin that is loaded so that the plugin
has a chance to perform any final cleanup.
If you need to load plugins for a single server startup when the --skip-grant-tables option is given (which tells the
server not to read system tables), use the --plugin-load mysqld option.
If you need to install only one plugin from a library, use the INSTALL PLUGIN statement.
Examples
To load the XtraDB storage engine and all of its information_schema tables with one statement, use
This statement can be used instead of INSTALL PLUGIN even when the library contains only one plugin:

Description
The SET statement assigns values to different types of variables that affect the operation of the server or your client.
Older versions of MySQL employed SET OPTION , but this syntax was deprecated in favor of SET without OPTION , and
was removed in MariaDB 10.0.
Changing a system variable by using the SET statement does not make the change permanently. To do so, the change
must be made in a configuration file.
For setting variables on a per-query basis, see SET STATEMENT.
See SHOW VARIABLES for documentation on viewing server system variables.
See Server System Variables for a list of all the system variables.
GLOBAL / SESSION
When setting a system variable, the scope can be specified as either GLOBAL or SESSION.
A global variable change affects all new sessions. It does not affect any currently open sessions, including the one that
made the change.
202/3812
A session variable change affects the current session only.
If the variable has a session value, not specifying either GLOBAL or SESSION will be the same as specifying SESSION.
If the variable only has a global value, not specifying GLOBAL or SESSION will apply to the change to the global value.
DEFAULT
Setting a global variable to DEFAULT will restore it to the server default, and setting a session variable to DEFAULT will
restore it to the current global value.
Examples
innodb_sync_spin_loops is a global variable.
skip_parallel_replication is a session variable.
max_error_count is both global and session.
SET innodb_sync_spin_loops=60;
ERROR 1229 (HY000): Variable 'innodb_sync_spin_loops' is a GLOBAL variable
and should be set with SET GLOBAL
SHOW VARIABLES will by default return the session value unless the variable is global only.

session system variables to the specified character set and collation.
This determines which character set the client will use to send statements to the server, and the server will use for
sending results back to the client.
ucs2 , utf16 , and utf32 are not valid character sets for SET NAMES , as they cannot be used as client character sets.
The collation clause is optional. If not defined (or if DEFAULT is specified), the default collation for the character set will
be used.

Description
Sets the sql_log_bin system variable, which disables or enables binary logging for the current connection, if the client
has the SUPER privilege. The statement is refused with an error if the client does not have that privilege.
Before MariaDB 5.5 and before MySQL 5.6 one could also set sql_log_bin as a global variable. This was disabled as
this was too dangerous as it could damage replication.
SET STATEMENT can be used to set the value of a system variable for the duration of the statement. It is also possible to
set multiple variables.
Syntax
SET STATEMENT var1=value1 [, var2=value2, ...]
FOR <statement>
where varN is a system variable (list of allowed variables is provided below), and valueN is a constant literal.
Description
SET STATEMENT var1=value1 FOR stmt
is roughly equivalent to
SET @save_value=@@var1;
SET SESSION var1=value1;
stmt;
SET SESSION var1=@save_value;
The server parses the whole statement before executing it, so any variables set in this fashion that affect the parser
may not have the expected effect. Examples include the charset variables, sql_mode=ansi_quotes, etc.
Examples
One can limit statement execution time max_statement_time :
207/3812
SET STATEMENT max_statement_time=1000 FOR SELECT ... ;
Note that it makes no sense to try to set a session variable inside a SET STATEMENT :
#USELESS STATEMENT
SET STATEMENT sort_buffer_size = 100000 for SET SESSION sort_buffer_size = 200000;
For the above, after setting sort_buffer_size to 200000 it will be reset to its original state (the state before the SET
STATEMENT started) after the statement execution.
Limitations
There are a number of variables that cannot be set on per-query basis. These include:
autocommit
character_set_client
character_set_connection
character_set_filesystem
collation_connection
default_master_connection
debug_sync

Description
This statement sets the transaction isolation level or the transaction access mode globally, for the current session, or for
the next transaction:
With the GLOBAL keyword, the statement sets the default transaction level globally for all subsequent sessions.
Existing sessions are unaffected.
With the SESSION keyword, the statement sets the default transaction level for all subsequent transactions
performed within the current session.
Without any SESSION or GLOBAL keyword, the statement sets the isolation level for the next (not started)
transaction performed within the current session.
A change to the global default isolation level requires the SUPER privilege. Any session is free to change its session
isolation level (even in the middle of a transaction), or the isolation level for its next transaction.
Isolation Level
To set the global default isolation level at server startup, use the --transaction-isolation=level option on the
command line or in an option file. Values of level for this option use dashes rather than spaces, so the allowable values
are READ-UNCOMMITTED , READ-COMMITTED , REPEATABLE-READ , or SERIALIZABLE . For example, to set the default
isolation level to REPEATABLE READ , use these lines in the [mysqld] section of an option file:
[mysqld]
transaction-isolation = REPEATABLE-READ
To determine the global and session transaction isolation levels at runtime, check the value of the tx_isolation
system variable:
InnoDB supports each of the translation isolation levels described here using different locking strategies. The default
level is REPEATABLE READ . For additional information about InnoDB record-level locks and how it uses them to execute
various types of statements, see InnoDB Lock Modes, and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-locks-set.html .
Isolation Levels
The following sections describe how MariaDB supports the different transaction levels.
READ UNCOMMITTED
SELECT statements are performed in a non-locking fashion, but a possible earlier version of a row might be used. Thus,
using this isolation level, such reads are not consistent. This is also called a "dirty read." Otherwise, this isolation level
works like READ COMMITTED .
209/3812
READ COMMITTED
A somewhat Oracle-like isolation level with respect to consistent (non-locking) reads: Each consistent read, even within
the same transaction, sets and reads its own fresh snapshot. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-
consistent-read.html .
For locking reads ( SELECT with FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE ), InnoDB locks only index records, not the gaps
before them, and thus allows the free insertion of new records next to locked records. For UPDATE and DELETE
statements, locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique index with a unique search condition (such as
WHERE id = 100 ), or a range-type search condition (such as WHERE id > 100 ). For a unique index with a unique
search condition, InnoDB locks only the index record found, not the gap before it. For range-type searches, InnoDB
locks the index range scanned, using gap locks or next-key (gap plus index-record) locks to block insertions by other
sessions into the gaps covered by the range. This is necessary because "phantom rows" must be blocked for MySQL
replication and recovery to work.
Note: If the READ COMMITTED isolation level is used or the innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog system variable is enabled,
there is no InnoDB gap locking except for foreign-key constraint checking and duplicate-key checking. Also, record
locks for non-matching rows are released after MariaDB has evaluated the WHERE condition.If you use READ COMMITTED
or enable innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog, you must use row-based binary logging.
REPEATABLE READ
This is the default isolation level for InnoDB. For consistent reads, there is an important difference from the READ
COMMITTED isolation level: All consistent reads within the same transaction read the snapshot established by the first
read. This convention means that if you issue several plain (non-locking) SELECT statements within the same
transaction, these SELECT statements are consistent also with respect to each other. See
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/innodb-consistent-read.html .
For locking reads (SELECT with FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARE MODE), UPDATE, and DELETE statements,
locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique index with a unique search condition, or a range-type search
condition. For a unique index with a unique search condition, InnoDB locks only the index record found, not the gap
before it. For other search conditions, InnoDB locks the index range scanned, using gap locks or next-key (gap plus
index-record) locks to block insertions by other sessions into the gaps covered by the range.
This is the minimum isolation level for non-distributed XA transactions.
SERIALIZABLE
This level is like REPEATABLE READ, but InnoDB implicitly converts all plain SELECT statements to SELECT ... LOCK
IN SHARE MODE if autocommit is disabled. If autocommit is enabled, the SELECT is its own transaction. It therefore is
known to be read only and can be serialized if performed as a consistent (non-locking) read and need not block for
other transactions. (This means that to force a plain SELECT to block if other transactions have modified the selected
rows, you should disable autocommit.)
Distributed XA transactions should always use this isolation level.
Access Mode
The access mode specifies whether the transaction is allowed to write data or not. By default, transactions are in READ
WRITE mode (see the tx_read_only system variable). READ ONLY mode allows the storage engine to apply optimizations
that cannot be used for transactions which write data. The only exception to this rule is that read only transactions can
perform DDL statements on temporary tables.
It is not permitted to specify both READ WRITE and READ ONLY in the same statement.
READ WRITE and READ ONLY can also be specified in the START TRANSACTION statement, in which case the specified
mode is only valid for one transaction.

Description
The SET statement in stored programs is an extended version of the general SET statement. Referenced variables
may be ones declared inside a stored program, global system variables, or user-defined variables.
The SET statement in stored programs is implemented as part of the pre-existing SET syntax. This allows an extended
syntax of SET a=x,
b=y, ... where different variable types (locally declared variables, global and session server variables, user-defined
variables) can be mixed. This also allows combinations of local variables and some options that make sense only for
system variables; in that case, the options are recognized but ignored.
SET can be used with both local variables and user-defined variables.
When setting several variables using the columns returned by a query, SELECT INTO should be preferred.
To set many variables to the same value, the LAST_VALUE( ) function can be used.
Below is an example of how a user-defined variable may be set:
SET @x = 1;

Syntax
SHOW BINLOG EVENTS
[IN 'log_name'] [FROM pos] [LIMIT [offset,] row_count]
Description
Shows the events in the binary log. If you do not specify ' log_name ', the first binary log is displayed.
Requires the BINLOG MONITOR privilege (>= MariaDB 10.5.2) or the REPLICATION SLAVE privilege (<= MariaDB
10.5.1).

The SHOW CHARACTER SET statement shows all available character sets. The LIKE clause, if present on its own,
indicates which character set names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be given to select rows using more
general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.
The same information can be queried from the Information Schema CHARACTER_SETS table.
See Setting Character Sets and Collations for details on specifying the character set at the server, database, table and
column levels.

Description
This statement is a MariaDB extension. It returns the exact string that can be used to re-create the named stored
procedure, as well as the SQL_MODE that was used when the trigger has been created and the character set used by
the connection.. A similar statement, SHOW CREATE FUNCTION , displays information about stored functions.
Both statements require that you are the owner of the routine or have the SELECT privilege on the mysql.proc table.
When neither is true, the statements display NULL for the Create Procedure or Create Function field.
Warning Users with SELECT privileges on mysql.proc or USAGE privileges on *.* can view the text of routines,
even when they do not have privileges for the function or procedure itself.
The output of these statements is unreliably affected by the sql_quote_show_create server system variable - see
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12719
Examples
Here's a comparison of the SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE and SHOW CREATE FUNCTION statements.
When the user issuing the statement does not have privileges on the routine, attempting to CALL the procedure raises
Error 1370.
CALL test.prc1();
Error 1370 (42000): execute command denieed to user 'test_user'@'localhost' for routine 'test'.'prc1'
If the user neither has privilege to the routine nor the SELECT privilege on mysql.proc table, it raises Error 1305,
informing them that the procedure does not exist.

SHOW DATABASES lists the databases on the MariaDB server host. SHOW SCHEMAS is a synonym for SHOW DATABASES .
The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which database names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can
be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.
You see only those databases for which you have some kind of privilege, unless you have the global SHOW
DATABASES privilege. You can also get this list using the mysqlshow command.
If the server was started with the --skip-show-database option, you cannot use this statement at all unless you have
the SHOW DATABASES privilege.
The list of results returned by SHOW DATABASES is based on directories in the data directory, which is how MariaDB
implements databases. It's possible that output includes directories that do not correspond to actual databases.
The Information Schema SCHEMATA table also contains database information.
Examples
SHOW DATABASES;

Description
SHOW ENGINES displays status information about the server's storage engines. This is particularly useful for checking
whether a storage engine is supported, or to see what the default engine is. SHOW TABLE TYPES is a deprecated
synonym.
The information_schema.ENGINES table provides the same information.
Since storage engines are plugins, different information about them is also shown in the information_schema.PLUGINS
table and by the SHOW PLUGINS statement.
Note that both MySQL's InnoDB and Percona's XtraDB replacement are labeled as InnoDB . However, if XtraDB is in
use, it will be specified in the COMMENT field. See XtraDB and InnoDB. The same applies to FederatedX .
The output consists of the following columns:
Engine indicates the engine's name.
Support indicates whether the engine is installed, and whether it is the default engine for the current session.
Comment is a brief description.
Transactions , XA and Savepoints indicate whether transactions, XA transactions and transaction savepoints
are supported by the engine.

Description
This statement is similar to SHOW WARNINGS, except that instead of displaying errors, warnings, and notes, it displays
only errors.
The LIMIT clause has the same syntax as for the SELECT statement.
The SHOW COUNT(*) ERRORS statement displays the number of errors. You can also retrieve this number from the
error_count variable.
The value of error_count might be greater than the number of messages displayed by SHOW WARNINGS if the
max_error_count system variable is set so low that not all messages are stored.
For a list of MariaDB error codes, see MariaDB Error Codes.

SELECT f();

Description
The SHOW INDEX_STATISTICS statement was introduced in MariaDB 5.2 as part of the User Statistics feature. It was
removed as a separate statement in MariaDB 10.1.1 , but effectively replaced by the generic SHOW
information_schema_table statement. The information_schmea.INDEX_STATISTICS table shows statistics on index
usage and makes it possible to do such things as locating unused indexes and generating the commands to remove
them.
The userstat system variable must be set to 1 to activate this feature. See the User Statistics and
information_schema.INDEX_STATISTICS table for more information.

The FROM and LIKE clauses may be used.
The FROM clause, if present, restricts the tables shown to those present in the db_name database.
The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which table names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be
given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.
The following information is returned:
Column Description
Database Database name.
Name Table name.
In_use Number of table instances being used.
Name_locked 1 if the table is name-locked, e.g. if it is being dropped or renamed, otherwise 0 .
Before MariaDB 5.5, each use of, for example, LOCK TABLE ... WRITE would increment In_use for that table. With the
implementation of the metadata locking improvements in MariaDB 5.5, LOCK TABLE... WRITE acquires a strong MDL
lock, and concurrent connections will wait on this MDL lock, so any subsequent LOCK TABLE... WRITE will not
increment In_use .

Description
This statement is a MariaDB extension that is available only for servers that have been built with debugging support. It
displays a representation of the internal implementation of the named stored procedure. A similar statement, SHOW
FUNCTION CODE , displays information about stored functions.
Both statements require that you be the owner of the routine or have SELECT access to the mysql.proc table.
If the named routine is available, each statement produces a result set. Each row in the result set corresponds to one
"instruction" in the routine. The first column is Pos, which is an ordinal number beginning with 0. The second column is
Instruction, which contains an SQL statement (usually changed from the original source), or a directive which has
meaning only to the stored-routine handler.

Description
SHOW PROCESSLIST shows you which threads are running. You can also get this information from the
information_schema.PROCESSLIST table or the mysqladmin processlist command. If you have the PROCESS
privilege , you can see all threads. Otherwise, you can see only your own threads (that is, threads associated with the
MariaDB account that you are using). If you do not use the FULL keyword, only the first 100 characters of each
statement are shown in the Info field.
The columns shown in SHOW PROCESSLIST are:
Name Description
ID The client's process ID.
USER The username associated with the process.
HOST The host the client is connected to.
DB The default database of the process (NULL if no default).
COMMAND The command type. See Thread Command Values.
The amount of time, in seconds, the process has been in its current state. For a replica SQL thread
TIME before MariaDB 10.1, this is the time in seconds between the last replicated event's timestamp and the
replica machine's real time.
STATE See Thread States.
INFO The statement being executed.
PROGRESS The total progress of the process (0-100%) (see Progress Reporting).
See TIME_MS column in information_schema.PROCESSLIST for differences in the TIME column between MariaDB and
MySQL.
The information_schema.PROCESSLIST table contains the following additional columns:
Name Description
TIME_MS The amount of time, in milliseconds, the process has been in its current state.
STAGE The stage the process is currently in.
MAX_STAGE The maximum number of stages.
PROGRESS The progress of the process within the current stage (0-100%).
MEMORY_USED The amount of memory used by the process.
EXAMINED_ROWS The number of rows the process has examined.
QUERY_ID Query ID.
Note that the PROGRESS field from the information schema, and the PROGRESS field from SHOW PROCESSLIST display
different results. SHOW PROCESSLIST shows the total progress, while the information schema shows the progress for the
current stage only.
Threads can be killed using their thread_id or their query_id, with the KILL statement.
Since queries on this table are locking, if the performance_schema is enabled, you may want to query the THREADS
table instead.

Description
The SHOW PROFILE and SHOW PROFILES statements display profiling information that indicates resource usage for
statements executed during the course of the current session.
Profiling is controlled by the profiling session variable, which has a default value of 0 ( OFF ). Profiling is enabled by
setting profiling to 1 or ON :
SET profiling = 1;
SHOW PROFILES displays a list of the most recent statements sent to the master. The size of the list is controlled by the
profiling_history_size session variable, which has a default value of 15 . The maximum value is 100 . Setting the
value to 0 has the practical effect of disabling profiling.
All statements are profiled except SHOW PROFILES and SHOW PROFILE , so you will find neither of those statements in the
profile list. Malformed statements are profiled. For example, SHOW PROFILING is an illegal statement, and a syntax error
occurs if you try to execute it, but it will show up in the profiling list.
SHOW PROFILE displays detailed information about a single statement. Without the FOR QUERY n clause, the output
pertains to the most recently executed statement. If FOR QUERY n is included, SHOW PROFILE displays information for
statement n. The values of n correspond to the Query_ID values displayed by SHOW PROFILES .
The LIMIT row_count clause may be given to limit the output to row_count rows. If LIMIT is given, OFFSET offset
may be added to begin the output offset rows into the full set of rows.
By default, SHOW PROFILE displays Status and Duration columns. The Status values are like the State values displayed
by SHOW PROCESSLIST , although there might be some minor differences in interpretation for the two statements for some
status values (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/thread-information.html ).
Optional type values may be specified to display specific additional types of information:
ALL displays all information
247/3812
BLOCK IO displays counts for block input and output operations
CONTEXT SWITCHES displays counts for voluntary and involuntary context switches
CPU displays user and system CPU usage times
IPC displays counts for messages sent and received
MEMORY is not currently implemented
PAGE FAULTS displays counts for major and minor page faults
SOURCE displays the names of functions from the source code, together with the name and line number of the file
in which the function occurs
SWAPS displays swap counts
Profiling is enabled per session. When a session ends, its profiling information is lost.
The information_schema.PROFILING table contains similar information.

1.1.1.2.8.47 SHOW
QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME
It is possible to use SHOW QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME as an alternative for retrieving information from the
QUERY_RESPONSE_TIME plugin.
This was introduced as part of the Information Schema plugin extension .
Description
SHOW STATUS provides server status information. This information also can be obtained using the mysqladmin
extended-status command, or by querying the Information Schema GLOBAL_STATUS and SESSION_STATUS
tables. The LIKE clause, if present, indicates which variable names to match. The WHERE clause can be given to select
rows using more general conditions.
With the GLOBAL modifier, SHOW STATUS displays the status values for all connections to MariaDB. With SESSION , it
displays the status values for the current connection. If no modifier is present, the default is SESSION . LOCAL is a
synonym for SESSION . If you see a lot of 0 values, the reason is probably that you have used SHOW STATUS with a new
connection instead of SHOW GLOBAL STATUS .
Some status variables have only a global value. For these, you get the same value for both GLOBAL and SESSION .
See Server Status Variables for a full list, scope and description of the variables that can be viewed with SHOW STATUS .
The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which variable name to match.
The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended
SHOW.

SHOW TABLE STATUS works like SHOW TABLES , but provides more extensive information about each non- TEMPORARY
table.
The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which table names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be
given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW.
The following information is returned:
Column Description
Name Table name.
Engine Table storage engine.
Version Version number from the table's .frm file.
Row_format Row format (see InnoDB, Aria and MyISAM row formats).
Rows Number of rows in the table. Some engines, such as XtraDB and InnoDB may store an estimate.
Avg_row_length Average row length in the table.
For InnoDB/XtraDB, the index size, in pages, multiplied by the page size. For Aria and MyISAM,
Data_length
length of the data file, in bytes. For MEMORY, the approximate allocated memory.
Maximum length of the data file, ie the total number of bytes that could be stored in the table. Not
Max_data_length
used in XtraDB and InnoDB.
Index_length Length of the index file.
Bytes allocated but unused. For InnoDB tables in a shared tablespace, the free space of the
Data_free shared tablespace with small safety margin. An estimate in the case of partitioned tables - see the
PARTITIONS table.
Check_time Time the table was last checked. Not kept by all storage engines, in which case will be NULL .
Collation Character set and collation.
Checksum Live checksum value, if any.
Create_options Extra CREATE TABLE options.
Comment Table comment provided when MariaDB created the table.
Max_index_length Maximum index length (supported by MyISAM and Aria tables). Added in MariaDB 10.3.5.
Placeholder to signal that a table is a temporary table. Currently always "N", except "Y" for
Temporary
generated information_schema tables and NULL for views. Added in MariaDB 10.3.5.
Similar information can be found in the information_schema.TABLES table as well as by using mysqlshow :
Views
For views, all columns in SHOW TABLE STATUS are NULL except 'Name' and 'Comment'

SHOW TABLES lists the non- TEMPORARY tables, sequences and views in a given database.
The LIKE clause, if present on its own, indicates which table names to match. The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be
given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended SHOW. For example, when searching for
tables in the test database, the column name for use in the WHERE and LIKE clauses will be Tables_in_test
The FULL modifier is supported such that SHOW FULL TABLES displays a second output column. Values for the second
column, Table_type , are BASE TABLE for a table, VIEW for a view and SEQUENCE for a sequence.
You can also get this information using:
mysqlshow db_name

Syntax
SHOW USER_STATISTICS
Description
The SHOW USER_STATISTICS statement is part of the User Statistics feature. It was removed as a separate statement in
MariaDB 10.1.1 , but effectively replaced by the generic SHOW information_schema_table statement. The
information_schema.USER_STATISTICS table holds statistics about user activity. You can use this table to find out
such things as which user is causing the most load and which users are being abusive. You can also use this table to
measure how close to capacity the server may be.
The userstat system variable must be set to 1 to activate this feature. See the User Statistics and
information_schema.USER_STATISTICS table for more information.

SHOW VARIABLES shows the values of MariaDB system variables. This information also can be obtained using the
mysqladmin variables command. The LIKE clause, if present, indicates which variable names to match. The WHERE
clause can be given to select rows using more general conditions.
With the GLOBAL modifier, SHOW VARIABLES displays the values that are used for new connections to MariaDB. With
SESSION , it displays the values that are in effect for the current connection. If no modifier is present, the default is
SESSION . LOCAL is a synonym for SESSION . With a LIKE clause, the statement displays only rows for those variables
269/3812
with names that match the pattern. To obtain the row for a specific variable, use a LIKE clause as shown:
To get a list of variables whose name match a pattern, use the " % " wildcard character in a LIKE clause:
Wildcard characters can be used in any position within the pattern to be matched. Strictly speaking, because " _ " is a
wildcard that matches any single character, you should escape it as " \_ " to match it literally. In practice, this is rarely
necessary.
The WHERE and LIKE clauses can be given to select rows using more general conditions, as discussed in Extended
SHOW.
See SET for information on setting server system variables.
See Server System Variables for a list of all the variables that can be set.
You can also see the server variables by querying the Information Schema GLOBAL_VARIABLES and
SESSION_VARIABLES tables.

Description
SHOW WARNINGS shows the error, warning, and note messages that resulted from the last statement that generated
messages in the current session. It shows nothing if the last statement used a table and generated no messages. (That
is, a statement that uses a table but generates no messages clears the message list.) Statements that do not use tables
and do not generate messages have no effect on the message list.
271/3812
A note is different to a warning in that it only appears if the sql_notes variable is set to 1 (the default), and is not
converted to an error if strict mode is enabled.
A related statement, SHOW ERRORS , shows only the errors.
The SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS statement displays the total number of errors, warnings, and notes. You can also
retrieve this number from the warning_count variable:
The value of warning_count might be greater than the number of messages displayed by SHOW WARNINGS if the
max_error_count system variable is set so low that not all messages are stored.
The LIMIT clause has the same syntax as for the SELECT statement .
SHOW WARNINGS can be used after EXPLAIN EXTENDED to see how a query is internally rewritten by MariaDB.
If the sql_notes server variable is set to 1, Notes are included in the output of SHOW WARNINGS ; if it is set to 0, this
statement will not show (or count) Notes.
The results of SHOW WARNINGS and SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS are directly sent to the client. If you need to access those
information in a stored program, you can use the GET DIAGNOSTICS statement instead.
For a list of MariaDB error codes, see MariaDB Error Codes.
The mysql client also has a number of options related to warnings. The \W command will show warnings after every
statement, while \w will disable this. Starting the client with the --show-warnings option will show warnings after every
statement.
MariaDB 10.3.1 implements a stored routine error stack trace. SHOW WARNINGS can also be used to show more
information. See the example below.

Compressed page size, in bytes. This value is unique in the table; other values are totals which
PAGE_SIZE
refer to pages of this size.
How many times a page of the size PAGE_SIZE has been compressed. This happens when a new
COMPRESS_OPS page is created because the compression log runs out of space. This value includes both
successful operations and compression failures.
How many times a page of the size PAGE_SIZE has been successfully compressed. This value
COMPRESS_OPS_OK should be as close as possible to COMPRESS_OPS . If it is notably lower, either avoid compressing
some tables, or increase the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE for some compressed tables.
Time (in seconds) spent to compress pages of the size PAGE_SIZE . This value includes time
COMPRESS_TIME
spent in compression failures.
How many times a page of the size PAGE_SIZE has been uncompressed. This happens when an
UNCOMPRESS_OPS uncompressed version of a page is created in the buffer pool, or when a compression failure
occurs.
UNCOMPRESS_TIME Time (in seconds) spent to uncompress pages of the size PAGE_SIZE .
These tables can be used to measure the effectiveness of XtraDB/InnoDB table compression. When you have to decide
a value for KEY_BLOCK_SIZE , you can create more than one version of the table (one for each candidate value) and run
a realistic workload on them. Then, these tables can be used to see how the operations performed with different page
sizes.
INNODB_CMP and INNODB_CMP_RESET have the same columns and always contain the same values, but when
INNODB_CMP_RESET is queried, both the tables are cleared. INNODB_CMP_RESET can be used, for example, if a script
periodically logs the performances of compression in the last period of time. INNODB_CMP can be used to see the
cumulated statistics.

Number of pages of the size PAGE_SIZE which are currently free, and thus are available for
PAGES_FREE allocation. This value represents the buffer pool's fragmentation. A totally unfragmented
buffer pool has at most 1 free page.
How many times a page of the size PAGE_SIZE has been relocated. This happens when
RELOCATION_OPS data exceeds a page (because a row must be copied into a new page) and when two pages
are merged (because their data shrunk and can now be contained in one page).
Time (in seconds) spent in relocation operations for pages of the size PAGE_SIZE . This
RELOCATION_TIME
column is reset when the INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET table is queried.
These tables can be used to measure the effectiveness of InnoDB table compression. When you have to decide a value
for KEY_BLOCK_SIZE , you can create more than one version of the table (one for each candidate value) and run a
realistic workload on them. Then, these tables can be used to see how the operations performed with different page

INNODB_CMPMEM and INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET have the same columns and always contain the same values, but when

INNODB_CMPMEM_RESET can be used, for example, if a script periodically logs the performances of compression in the

How many times a page of INDEX_NAME has been uncompressed. This happens when an
UNCOMPRESS_OPS uncompressed version of a page is created in the buffer pool, or when a compression failure
occurs.
UNCOMPRESS_TIME Time (in seconds) spent to uncompress pages of INDEX_NAME .
These tables can be used to measure the effectiveness of XtraDB/InnoDB compression, per table or per index. The
values in these tables show which tables perform better with index compression, and which tables cause too many
compression failures or perform too many compression/uncompression operations. When compression performs badly
for a table, this might mean that you should change its KEY_BLOCK_SIZE , or that the table should not be compressed.
INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX and INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX_RESET have the same columns and always contain the same
values, but when INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX_RESET is queried, both the tables are cleared. INNODB_CMP_PER_INDEX_RESET
can be used, for example, if a script periodically logs the performances of compression in the last period of time.

1. Enabling and Disabling Counters
2. Resetting Counters
3. Simplifying from MariaDB 10.6
4. Examples
The Information Schema INNODB_METRICS table contains a list of useful InnoDB performance metrics. Each row in the
table represents an instrumented counter that can be stopped, started and reset, and which can be grouped together by
module.
The PROCESS privilege is required to view the table.
It has the following columns:
Column Description
NAME Unique counter name.
InnoDB subsystem. See below for the matching module to use to enable/disable monitoring this
SUBSYSTEM
subsytem with the innodb_monitor_enable and innodb_monitor_disable system variables.
COUNT Count since being enabled.
MAX_COUNT Maximum value since being enabled.
MIN_COUNT Minimum value since being enabled.
AVG_COUNT Average value since being enabled.
COUNT_RESET Count since last being reset.
MAX_COUNT_RESET Maximum value since last being reset.
MIN_COUNT_RESET Minimum value since last being reset.
AVG_COUNT_RESET Average value since last being reset.
TIME_ENABLED Time last enabled.
TIME_DISABLED Time last disabled
TIME_ELAPSED Time since enabled
TIME_RESET Time last reset.
STATUS Whether the counter is currently enabled to disabled.
TYPE Item type; one of counter , value , status_counter , set_owner , set_member .
COMMENT Counter description.
or enable a number of counters grouped by module. The SUBSYSTEM field indicates which counters are grouped
together, but the following module names need to be used:
module_lock lock
module_buffer buffer
module_buf_page buffer_page_io
module_os os
module_trx transaction
module_purge purge
module_compress compression
module_file file_system
295/3812
module_index index
module_srv server
module_ddl ddl
module_dml dml
module_log recovery
module_icp icp
To enable them all, use the associated module name from the table above, module_icp .
The % wildcard, used to represent any number of characters, can also be used when naming counters, for example:
To disable counters, use the innodb_monitor_disable system variable, using the same naming rules as described above
for enabling.
Counter status is not persistent, and will be reset when the server restarts. It is possible to use the options on the
command line, or the innodb_monitor_enable option only in a configuration file.
Resetting Counters
Counters can also be reset. Resetting sets all the *_COUNT_RESET values to zero, while leaving the *_COUNT values,
which perform counts since the counter was enabled, untouched. Resetting is performed with the innodb_monitor_reset
(for individual counters) and innodb_monitor_reset_all (for all counters) system variables.

transaction at a time can change the adaptive hash index.
Whether the adaptive hash index search latch shoild be relinquished immediately or
reserved across all MariaDB calls. 0 if there is no contention on the adaptive hash
TRX_ADAPTIVE_HASH_TIMEOUT
index, in which case the latch is reserved until completion, otherwise counts down to
zero and the latch is released after each row lookup.
TRX_IS_READ_ONLY 1 if a read-only transaction, otherwise 0 .
1 if the transaction only contains this one statement, that is, a SELECT statement not
using FOR UPDATE or LOCK IN SHARED MODE , and with autocommit on. If this and
TRX_AUTOCOMMIT_NON_LOCKING
TRX_IS_READ_ONLY are both 1, the transaction can be optimized by the storrage
engine to reduce some overheads
The table is often used in conjunction with the INNODB_LOCKS and INNODB_LOCK_WAITS tables to diagnose
problematic locks and transactions.
XA transactions are not stored in this table. To see them, XA RECOVER can be used.

1.1.1.2.9.1.1.1.35 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:
Column Description
TABLE_ID Table ID.
NAME Table name.
Number of columns in the temporary table, including three hidden columns that InnoDB
N_COLS
creates ( DB_ROW_ID , DB_TRX_ID , and DB_ROLL_PTR ).
Numerical identifier for the tablespace identifier holding the temporary table. Compressed
temporary tables are stored by default in separate per-table tablespaces in the temporary
SPACE
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.
If TRUE , the temporary table resides in a separate per-table tablespace. If FALSE , it resides
PER_TABLE_TABLESPACE
in the shared temporary tablespace.
IS_COMPRESSED TRUE if the table is compressed.

MariaDB ColumnStore has four Information Schema tables that expose information about the table and column storage.
These tables were added in version 1.0.5 of ColumnStore and were heavily modified for 1.0.6.
COLUMNSTORE_TABLES
The first table is the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNSTORE_TABLES. This contains information about the tables
inside ColumnStore. The table layout is as follows:
315/3812
Column Description
TABLE_SCHEMA The database schema for the table
TABLE_NAME The table name
OBJECT_ID The ColumnStore object ID for the table
CREATION_DATE The date the table was created
COLUMN_COUNT The number of columns in the table
AUTOINCREMENT The start autoincrement value for the table set during CREATE TABLE
Note: Tables created with ColumnStore 1.0.4 or lower will have the year field of the creation data set incorrectly by
1900 years.
COLUMNSTORE_COLUMNS
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNSTORE_COLUMNS table contains information about every single column
inside ColumnStore. The table layout is as follows:
Column Description
TABLE_SCHEMA The database schema for the table
TABLE_NAME The table name for the column
COLUMN_NAME The column name
OBJECT_ID The object ID for the column
DICTIONARY_OBJECT_ID The dictionary object ID for the column (NULL if there is no dictionary object
LIST_OBJECT_ID Placeholder for future information
TREE_OBJECT_ID Placeholder for future information
DATA_TYPE The data type for the column
COLUMN_LENGTH The data length for the column
COLUMN_POSITION The position of the column in the table, starting at 0
COLUMN_DEFAULT The default value for the column
IS_NULLABLE Whether or not the column can be set to NULL
NUMERIC_PRECISION The numeric precision for the column
NUMERIC_SCALE The numeric scale for the column
IS_AUTOINCREMENT Set to 1 if the column is an autoincrement column
COMPRESSION_TYPE The type of compression (either "None" or "Snappy")
COLUMNSTORE_EXTENTS
This table displays the extent map in a user consumable form. An extent is a collection of details about a section of data
related to a columnstore column. A majority of columns in ColumnStore will have multiple extents and the columns table
above can be joined to this one to filter results by table or column. The table layout is as follows:
Column Description
OBJECT_ID The object ID for the extent
OBJECT_TYPE Whether this is a "Column" or "Dictionary" extent
LOGICAL_BLOCK_START ColumnStore's internal start LBID for this extent
LOGICAL_BLOCK_END ColumnStore's internal end LBID for this extent
MIN_VALUE This minimum value stored in this extent
MAX_VALUE The maximum value stored in this extent
WIDTH The data width for the extent
DBROOT The DBRoot number for the extent
316/3812
PARTITION_ID The parition ID for the extent
SEGMENT_ID The segment ID for the extent
BLOCK_OFFSET The block offset for the data file, each data file can contain multiple extents for a column
MAX_BLOCKS The maximum number of blocks for the extent
HIGH_WATER_MARK The last block committed to the extent (starting at 0)
STATE The state of the extent (see below)
The availability status for the column which is either "Available", "Unavailable" or "Out of
STATUS
service"
DATA_SIZE The uncompressed data size for the extent calculated as (HWM + 1) * BLOCK_SIZE
Notes:
1. The state is "Valid" for a normal state, "Invalid" if a cpimport has completed but the table has not yet been
accessed (min/max values will be invalid) or "Updating" if there is a DML statement writing to the column
2. In ColumnStore the block size is 8192 bytes
3. By default ColumnStore will write create an extent file of 256*1024*WIDTH bytes for the first partition, if this
is too small then for uncompressed data it will create a file of the maximum size for the extent (MAX_BLOCKS
* BLOCK_SIZE). Snappy always compression adds a header block.
4. Object IDs of less than 3000 are for internal tables and will not appear in any of the information schema
tables
5. Prior to 1.0.12 / 1.1.2 DATA_SIZE was incorrectly calculated
6. HWM is set to zero for the lower segments when there are multiple segments in an extent file, these can be
observed when BLOCK_OFFSET > 0
7. When HWM is 0 the DATA_SIZE will show 0 instead of 8192 to avoid confusion when there is multiple
segments in an extent file
COLUMNSTORE_FILES
The columnstore_files table provides information about each file associated with extensions. Each extension can reuse
a file at different block offsets so this is not a 1:1 relationship to the columnstore_extents table.
Column Description
OBJECT_ID The object ID for the extent
SEGMENT_ID The segment ID for the extent
PARTITION_ID The partition ID for the extent
The full path and filename for the extent file, multiple extents for the same column can
FILENAME
point to this file with different BLOCK_OFFSETs
FILE_SIZE The disk file size for the extent
COMPRESSED_DATA_SIZE The amount of the compressed file used, NULL if this is an uncompressed file
Stored Procedures
A few stored procedures were added in 1.0.6 to provide summaries based on the information schema tables. These can
be accessed from the COLUMNSTORE_INFO schema.
total_usage()
The total_usage() procedure gives a total disk usage summary for all the columns in ColumnStore with the exception of
the columns used for internal maintenance. It is executed using the following query:
table_usage()
The table_usage() procedure gives a the total data disk usage, dictionary disk usage and grand total disk usage per-
table. It can be called in several ways, the first gives a total for each table:
Note: The quotes around the table name are required, an error will occur without them.
compression_ratio()
The compression_ratio() procedure calculates the average compression ratio across all the compressed extents in
ColumnStore. It is called using:
Note: The compression ratio is incorrectly calculated before versions 1.0.12 / 1.1.2
Column Description
PLUGIN_NAME Name of the plugin.
PLUGIN_VERSION Version from the plugin's general type descriptor.
PLUGIN_STATUS Plugin status, one of ACTIVE , INACTIVE , DISABLED , DELETED or NOT INSTALLED .
Plugin type; STORAGE ENGINE , INFORMATION_SCHEMA , AUTHENTICATION , REPLICATION ,
PLUGIN_TYPE
DAEMON or AUDIT .
PLUGIN_AUTH_VERSION Plugin's version as determined by the plugin author. An example would be '0.99 beta 1'.
It provides a superset of the information shown by the SHOW PLUGINS SONAME statement, as well as the
information_schema.PLUGINS table. For specific information about storage engines (a particular type of plugin), see
the Information Schema ENGINES table and the SHOW ENGINES statement.
The table is not a standard Information Schema table, and is a MariaDB extension.

Description
The DISKS table is created when the DISKS plugin is enabled, and shows metadata about disks on the system.
Before MariaDB 10.4.7, MariaDB 10.3.17, MariaDB 10.2.26 and MariaDB 10.1.41 , this plugin did not check user
privileges. When it is enabled, any user can query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.DISKS table and see all the information it
provides.
Since MariaDB 10.4.7, MariaDB 10.3.17, MariaDB 10.2.26 and MariaDB 10.1.41 , it requires the FILE privilege.
The plugin only works on Linux.
The table contains the following columns:
Column Description
DISK Name of the disk itself.
PATH Mount point of the disk.
TOTAL Total space in KiB.
USED Used amount of space in KiB.
AVAILABLE Amount of space in KiB available to non-root users.
Note that as the amount of space available to root (OS user) may be more that what is available to non-root users,
329/3812
'available' + 'used' may be less than 'total'.
All paths to which a particular disk has been mounted are reported. The rationale is that someone might want to take
different action e.g. depending on which disk is relevant for a particular path. This leads to the same disk being reported
multiple times.
Example
SELECT * FROM information_schema.DISKS;
+-----------+-------+----------+---------+-----------+
| Disk | Path | Total | Used | Available |
+-----------+-------+----------+---------+-----------+
| /dev/vda1 | / | 26203116 | 2178424 | 24024692 |
| /dev/vda1 | /boot | 26203116 | 2178424 | 24024692 |

Column Description
ROLE_NAME The enabled role name, or NULL .
This table lists all roles that are currently enabled, one role per row — the current role, roles granted to the current role,
roles granted to these roles and so on. If no role is set, the row contains a NULL value.
The roles that the current user can enable are listed in the APPLICABLE_ROLES Information Schema table.
See also CURRENT_ROLE().

Column Description
ENGINE
Name of the storage engine.
330/3812
SUPPORT Whether the engine is the default, or is supported or not.
COMMENT Storage engine comments.
TRANSACTIONS Whether or not the engine supports transactions.
XA Whether or not the engine supports XA transactions.
SAVEPOINTS Whether or not savepoints are supported.
It provides identical information to the SHOW ENGINES statement. Since storage engines are plugins, different information

MDL_INTENTION_EXCLUSIVE with other IX locks, but is incompatible with scoped S and X locks. IX lock is taken in
SCHEMA namespace when we intend to modify object metadata. Object may refer
table, stored procedure, trigger, view/etc.
349/3812
A shared metadata lock (S). To be used in cases when we are interested in object
metadata only and there is no intention to access object data (e.g. for stored routines or
during preparing prepared statements). We also mis-use this type of lock for open
HANDLERs, since lock acquired by this statement has to be compatible with lock
acquired by LOCK TABLES ... WRITE statement, i.e. SNRW (We can't get by by
acquiring S lock at HANDLER ... OPEN time and upgrading it to SR lock for HANDLER
... READ as it doesn't solve problem with need to abort DML statements which wait on
table level lock while having open HANDLER in the same connection). To avoid
MDL_SHARED
deadlock which may occur when SNRW lock is being upgraded to X lock for table on
which there is an active S lock which is owned by thread which waits in its turn for
table-level lock owned by thread performing upgrade we have to use
thr_abort_locks_for_thread() facility in such situation. This problem does not arise for
locks on stored routines as we don't use SNRW locks for them. It also does not arise
when S locks are used during PREPARE calls as table-level locks are not acquired in
this case. This lock is taken for global read lock, when caching a stored procedure in
memory for the duration of the transaction and for tables used by prepared statements.
A high priority shared metadata lock. Used for cases when there is no intention to
access object data (i.e. data in the table). "High priority" means that, unlike other
shared locks, it is granted ignoring pending requests for exclusive locks. Intended for
use in cases when we only need to access metadata and not data, e.g. when filling an
INFORMATION_SCHEMA table. Since SH lock is compatible with SNRW lock, the
MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO
connection that holds SH lock lock should not try to acquire any kind of table-level or
row-level lock, as this can lead to a deadlock. Moreover, after acquiring SH lock, the
connection should not wait for any other resource, as it might cause starvation for X
locks and a potential deadlock during upgrade of SNW or SNRW to X lock (e.g. if the
upgrading connection holds the resource that is being waited for).
A shared metadata lock (SR) for cases when there is an intention to read data from
table. A connection holding this kind of lock can read table metadata and read table
data (after acquiring appropriate table and row-level locks). This means that one can
MDL_SHARED_READ
only acquire TL_READ, TL_READ_NO_INSERT, and similar table-level locks on table
if one holds SR MDL lock on it. To be used for tables in SELECTs, subqueries, and
LOCK TABLE ... READ statements.
A shared metadata lock (SW) for cases when there is an intention to modify (and not
just read) data in the table. A connection holding SW lock can read table metadata and
MDL_SHARED_WRITE modify or read table data (after acquiring appropriate table and row-level locks). To be
used for tables to be modified by INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements, but not
LOCK TABLE ... WRITE or DDL). Also taken by SELECT ... FOR UPDATE.
An upgradable shared metadata lock for cases when there is an intention to modify
(and not just read) data in the table. Can be upgraded to MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE
MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE and MDL_EXCLUSIVE. A connection holding SU lock can read table metadata and
modify or read table data (after acquiring appropriate table and row-level locks). To be
used for the first phase of ALTER TABLE.
A shared metadata lock for cases when we need to read data from table and block all
MDL_SHARED_READ_ONLY concurrent modifications to it (for both data and metadata). Used by LOCK TABLES
READ statement.
An upgradable shared metadata lock which blocks all attempts to update table data,
allowing reads. A connection holding this kind of lock can read table metadata and read
table data. Can be upgraded to X metadata lock. Note, that since this type of lock is not
MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE compatible with SNRW or SW lock types, acquiring appropriate engine-level locks for
reading (TL_READ* for MyISAM, shared row locks in InnoDB) should be contention-
free. To be used for the first phase of ALTER TABLE, when copying data between
tables, to allow concurrent SELECTs from the table, but not UPDATEs.
An upgradable shared metadata lock which allows other connections to access table
metadata, but not data. It blocks all attempts to read or update table data, while
allowing INFORMATION_SCHEMA and SHOW queries. A connection holding this kind
MDL_SHARED_NO_READ_WRITE
of lock can read table metadata modify and read table data. Can be upgraded to X
metadata lock. To be used for LOCK TABLES WRITE statement. Not compatible with
any other lock type except S and SH.
An exclusive metadata lock (X). A connection holding this lock can modify both table's
metadata and data. No other type of metadata lock can be granted while this lock is
MDL_EXCLUSIVE held. To be used for CREATE/DROP/RENAME TABLE statements and for execution of
certain phases of other DDL statements.

The Information Schema PROCESSLIST table contains information about running threads.
Similar information can also be returned with the SHOW [FULL] PROCESSLIST statement, or the mysqladmin
processlist command.
It contains the following columns:
Column Description
ID Connection identifier.
USER MariaDB User.
The hostname from which this thread is connected.
HOST For Unix socket connections, localhost . For TCP/IP connections, the TCP port is appended (e.g.
192.168.1.17:58061 or other-host.company.com:58061 ). For system user , this column is blank
( '' ).
DB Default database, or NULL if none.
Type of command running, corresponding to the Com_ status variables. See Thread Command
COMMAND
Values.
TIME Seconds that the thread has spent on the current COMMAND so far.
STATE Current state of the thread. See Thread States.
INFO Statement the thread is executing, or NULL if none.
Time in milliseconds with microsecond precision that the thread has spent on the current COMMAND
TIME_MS
so far (see more).
STAGE The stage the process is currently in.
MAX_STAGE The maximum number of stages.
PROGRESS The progress of the process within the current stage (0-100%).
MEMORY_USED Memory in bytes used by the thread.
Rows examined by the thread. Only updated by UPDATE, DELETE, and similar statements. For
EXAMINED_ROWS
SELECT and other statements, the value remains zero.
QUERY_ID Query ID.
INFO_BINARY Binary data information
357/3812
TID Thread ID (MDEV-6756 )
Note that as a difference to MySQL, in MariaDB the TIME column (and also the TIME_MS column) are not affected by
any setting of @TIMESTAMP . This means that it can be reliably used also for threads that change @TIMESTAMP (such as
the replication SQL thread). See also MySQL Bug #22047 .
As a consequence of this, the TIME column of SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST can
not be used to determine if a slave is lagging behind. For this, use instead the Seconds_Behind_Master column in the
output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
Note that the PROGRESS field from the information schema, and the PROGRESS field from SHOW PROCESSLIST display
different results. SHOW PROCESSLIST shows the total progress, while the information schema shows the progress for the
current stage only.. To retrieve a similar "total" Progress value from information_schema.PROCESSLIST as the one from
SHOW PROCESSLIST , use
SELECT CASE WHEN Max_Stage < 2 THEN Progress ELSE (Stage-1)/Max_Stage*100+Progress/Max_Stage END
AS Progress FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST;

The Information Schema table shows information about the various non- TEMPORARY tables (except tables from the
Information Schema database) and views on the server.
It contains the following columns:
Column Description
TABLE_CATALOG Always def .
TABLE_SCHEMA Database name.
TABLE_NAME Table name.
One of BASE TABLE for a regular table, VIEW for a view, SYSTEM VIEW for Information Schema
TABLE_TYPE
tables, SYSTEM VERSIONED for system-versioned tables or SEQUENCE for sequences.
ENGINE Storage Engine.
VERSION Version number from the table's .frm file
ROW_FORMAT Row format (see InnoDB, Aria and MyISAM row formats).
TABLE_ROWS Number of rows in the table. Some engines, such as XtraDB and InnoDB may store an estimate.
AVG_ROW_LENGTH Average row length in the table.
For InnoDB/XtraDB, the index size, in pages, multiplied by the page size. For Aria and MyISAM,
DATA_LENGTH
length of the data file, in bytes. For MEMORY, the approximate allocated memory.
Maximum length of the data file, ie the total number of bytes that could be stored in the table. Not
MAX_DATA_LENGTH
used in XtraDB and InnoDB.
INDEX_LENGTH Length of the index file.
Bytes allocated but unused. For InnoDB tables in a shared tablespace, the free space of the
DATA_FREE shared tablespace with small safety margin. An estimate in the case of partitioned tables - see
the PARTITIONS table.
CHECK_TIME Time the table was last checked. Not kept by all storage engines, in which case will be NULL .
TABLE_COLLATION Character set and collation.
CHECKSUM Live checksum value, if any.
CREATE_OPTIONS Extra CREATE TABLE options.
TABLE_COMMENT Table comment provided when MariaDB created the table.
MAX_INDEX_LENGTH Maximum index length (supported by MyISAM and Aria tables). Added in MariaDB 10.3.5.
Placeholder to signal that a table is a temporary table. Currently always "N", except "Y" for
TEMPORARY
generated information_schema tables and NULL for views. Added in MariaDB 10.3.5.
Although the table is standard in the Information Schema, all but TABLE_CATALOG , TABLE_SCHEMA , TABLE_NAME ,
TABLE_TYPE , ENGINE and VERSION are MySQL and MariaDB extensions.

The table provides information about thread pool groups, and contains the following columns:
Column Description
GROUP_ID
CONNECTIONS
THREADS
ACTIVE_THREADS
STANDBY_THREADS
QUEUE_LENGTH
HAS_LISTENER
IS_STALLED
Setting thread_pool_dedicated_listener will give each group its own dedicated listener, and the listener thread will not
pick up work items. As a result, the actual queue size in the table will be more exact, since IO requests are immediately
dequeued from poll, without delay.
The table provides information about thread pool queues, and contains the following columns:
Column Description
POSITION
PRIORITY
CONNECTION_ID
QUEUEING_TIME_MICROSECONDS
Setting thread_poll_exact_stats will provides better queueing time statistics by using a high precision timestamp, at a
small performance cost, for the time when the connection was added to the queue. This timestamp helps calculate the
queuing time shown in the table.
Setting thread_pool_dedicated_listener will give each group its own dedicated listener, and the listener thread will not
pick up work items. As a result, the queueing time in the table will be more exact, since IO requests are immediately
dequeued from poll, without delay.

Note that as a difference to MySQL, in MariaDB the TIME column (and also the TIME_MS column) are not affected by
any setting of @TIMESTAMP. This means that it can be reliably used also for threads that change @TIMESTAMP (such
as the replication SQL thread). See also MySQL Bug #22047 .
As a consequence of this, the TIME column of SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST can
not be used to determine if a slave is lagging behind. For this, use instead the Seconds_Behind_Master column in the
output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
The addition of the TIME_MS column is based on the microsec_process patch, developed by Percona .

The events_transactions_current table contains current transaction events for each thread.
The table size cannot be figured, and always stores one row for each thread, showing the current status of the thread's
most recent monitored transaction event.
The table contains the following columns:
409/3812
This column is set to NULL when the event
END_EVENT_ID bigint(20) unsigned starts and updated to the thread current
event number when the event ends.
The name of the instrument from which the
EVENT_NAME varchar(128) event was collected. This is a NAME value
from the setup_instruments table.
The current transaction state. The value is
enum('ACTIVE',

STATE 'COMMITTED',
BEGIN), COMMITTED (after COMMIT), or
'ROLLED BACK')
ROLLED BACK (after ROLLBACK).
TRX_ID bigint(20) unsigned Unused.

GTID varchar(64)
DOMAIN-SERVER_ID-SEQUENCE_NO.
XA transaction format ID for GTRID and
XID_FORMAT_ID int(11)
BQUAL values.
XID_GTRID varchar(130) XA global transaction ID.
XID_BQUAL varchar(130) XA transaction branch qualifier.
The state of the XA transaction. The value
is ACTIVE (after XA START), IDLE (after XA
XA_STATE varchar(64) END), PREPARED (after XA PREPARE),
ROLLED BACK (after XA ROLLBACK), or
COMMITTED (after XA COMMIT).
The name of the source file containing the
instrumented code that produced the event
SOURCE varchar(64)
and the line number in the file at which the
instrumentation occurs.
The unit is picoseconds. When event timing

READ UNCOMMITTED, or SERIALIZABLE.
Whether autcommit mode was enabled
AUTOCOMMIT enum('YES','NO')
when the transaction started.
The events_transactions_history table contains the most recent completed transaction events for each thread.
The number of records stored per thread in the table is determined by the
performance_schema_events_transactions_history_size system variable, which is autosized on startup.
If adding a completed transaction event would cause the table to exceed this limit, the oldest thread row is discarded.
All of a thread's rows are discarded when the thread ends.
The table contains the following columns:
The events_transactions_history_long table contains the most recent completed transaction events that have ended
globally, across all threads.
The number of records stored in the table is determined by the
performance_schema_events_transactions_history_long_size system variable, which is autosized on startup.
If adding a completed transaction would cause the table to exceed this limit, the oldest row, regardless of thread, is
discarded.
The table contains the following columns:
412/3812

connection statistics in the hosts table.
It contains the following columns:
Column Description
Host name used by the client to connect, NULL for internal threads or user sessions that
HOST
failed to authenticate.
CURRENT_CONNECTIONS Current number of the host's connections.

YES if the IP-to-host DNS lookup was successful, and the HOST
column can be used to avoid DNS calls, or NO if unsuccessful, in
HOST_VALIDATED
which case DNS lookup is performed for each connect until either
successful or a permanent error.
Number of connection errors. Counts only protocol handshake
SUM_CONNECT_ERRORS errors for hosts that passed validation. These errors count towards
max_connect_errors.
Number of blocked connections because SUM_CONNECT_ERRORS
COUNT_HOST_BLOCKED_ERRORS exceeded the max_connect_errors system variable.

Number of forward-confirmed reverse DNS errors, which occur
COUNT_FCRDNS_ERRORS when IP-to-host DNS lookup does not match the originating IP
address.
Number of errors occurring because no user from the host is
permitted to log in. These attempts return error code 1130
COUNT_HOST_ACL_ERRORS
ER_HOST_NOT_PRIVILEGED and do not proceed to username and
password authentication.
Number of errors due to requesting an authentication plugin that
COUNT_NO_AUTH_PLUGIN_ERRORS was not available. This can be due to the plugin never having been
loaded, or the load attempt failing.
Number of errors reported by an authentication plugin. Plugins can
increment COUNT_AUTHENTICATION_ERRORS or
COUNT_AUTH_PLUGIN_ERRORS
COUNT_HANDSHAKE_ERRORS instead, but, if specified or the error is
unknown, this column is incremented.
COUNT_HANDSHAKE_ERRORS Number of errors detected at the wire protocol level.
Number of errors detected when a proxy user is proxied to a user
COUNT_PROXY_USER_ERRORS
that does not exist.
Number of errors detected when a proxy user is proxied to a user
COUNT_PROXY_USER_ACL_ERRORS
that exists, but the proxy user doesn't have the PROXY privilege.
COUNT_AUTHENTICATION_ERRORS Number of errors where authentication failed.
COUNT_SSL_ERRORS Number of errors due to TLS problems.
COUNT_MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS_ERRORS Number of errors due to the per-user quota being exceeded.

1.1.1.2.9.2.1.63 Performance Schema
session_status Table
MariaDB starting with 10.5.2
The session_status table was added in MariaDB 10.5.2.
The session_status table contains a list of status variables for the current session. The table only stores status
variable statistics for threads which are instrumented, and does not collect statistics for Com_xxx variables.
The table contains the following columns:
Column Description
VARIABLE_NAME The session status variable name.
VARIABLE_VALUE The session status variable value.
Column Description
HOST Host name, either a literal, or the % wildcard representing any host.
USER User name, either a literal or the % wildcard representing any name.
ROLE Unused
Column Description
NAME Consumer name
YES or NO for whether or not the consumer is enabled. You can modify this column to ensure that event
ENABLED
information is added, or is not added.
The table can be modified directly, or the server started with the option enabled, for example:
performance-schema-consumer-events-waits-history=ON
Example
444/3812
SELECT * FROM performance_schema.setup_consumers;
+--------------------------------+---------+
| NAME | ENABLED |
+--------------------------------+---------+
| events_stages_current | NO |
| events_stages_history | NO |
| events_stages_history_long | NO |
| events_statements_current | YES |
| events_statements_history | NO |
| events_statements_history_long | NO |
| events_waits_current | NO |
| events_waits_history | NO |
| events_waits_history_long | NO |
| global_instrumentation | YES |
| thread_instrumentation | YES |
| statements_digest | YES |
+--------------------------------+---------+
See Also
Sys Schema ps_is_consumer_enabled function
Column Description
NAME Instrument name
ENABLED Whether or not the instrument is enabled. It can be disabled, and the instrument will produce no events.
Whether or not the instrument is timed. It can be set, but if disabled, events produced by the instrument will
TIMED
have NULL values for the corresponding TIMER_START , TIMER_END , and TIMER_WAIT values.
Example
From MariaDB 10.5.7, default settings with the Performance Schema enabled:
Column Description
OBJECT_TYPE Type of object to instrument, currently only . Currently, only TABLE' , for base table.
OBJECT_SCHEMA Schema containing the object, either the literal or % for any schema.
OBJECT_NAME Name of the instrumented object, either the literal or % for any object.
Whether the object's events are instrumented or not. Can be disabled, in which case monitoring is
ENABLED
not enabled for those objects.
TIMED Whether the object's events are timed or not. Can be modified.
When the Performance Schema looks for matches in the setup_objects , there may be more than one row matching,
with different ENABLED and TIMED values. It looks for the most specific matches first, that is, it will first look for the
specific database and table name combination, then the specific database, only then falling back to a wildcard for both.
Rows can be added or removed from the table, while for existing rows, only the TIMED and ENABLED columns can be
updated. By default, all tables except those in the performance_schema , information_schema and mysql databases
are instrumented.
Column Description
NAME Type of instrument the timer is used for.
TIMER_NAME Timer applying to the instrument type. Can be modified.
The TIMER_NAME value can be changed to choose a different timer, and can be any non-NULL value in the
performance_timers.TIMER_NAME column.
If you modify the table, monitoring is immediately affected, and currently monitored events would use a combination of
old and new timers, which is probably undesirable. It is best to reset the Performance Schema statistics if you make
changes to this table.
Example
SELECT * FROM setup_timers;
+-----------+-------------+
| NAME | TIMER_NAME |
+-----------+-------------+
| idle | MICROSECOND |
| wait | CYCLE |
| stage | NANOSECOND |
| statement | NANOSECOND |
+-----------+-------------+

NAME thread/sql/main for the server's main() function, and thread/sql/one_connection for a
user connection.
FOREGROUND or BACKGROUND , depending on the thread type. User connection threads are
TYPE
FOREGROUND , internal server threads are BACKGROUND .
Statement being executed by the thread, or NULL if a statement is not being executed. If a
PROCESSLIST_INFO statement results in calling other statements, such as for a stored procedure, the innermost
statement from the stored procedure is shown here.
THREAD_ID of the parent thread, if any. Subthreads can for example be spawned as a result
PARENT_THREAD_ID
of INSERT DELAYED statements.
ROLE Unused.
YES or NO for Whether the thread is instrumented or not. For foreground threads, the initial
value is determined by whether there's a user/host match in the setup_actors table.
INSTRUMENTED Subthreads are again matched, while for background threads, this will be set to YES by
default. To monitor events that the thread executes, INSTRUMENTED must be YES and the
thread_instrumentation consumer in the setup_consumers table must also be YES .
467/3812
YES or NO for Whether to log historical events for the thread. For foreground threads, the
initial value is determined by whether there's a user/host match in the setup_actors table.
Subthreads are again matched, while for background threads, this will be set to YES by
HISTORY
default. To monitor events that the thread executes, INSTRUMENTED must be YES and the
thread_instrumentation consumer in the setup_consumers table must also be YES . Added in
MariaDB 10.5.

It is implemented as a storage engine, and so will appear in the list of storage engines available.

However, performance_schema is not a regular storage engine for storing data, it's a mechanism for implementing the
Performance Schema feature.
The storage engine contains a database called performance_schema , which in turn consists of a number of tables that
can be queried with regular SQL statements, returning specific performance information.

See List of Performance Schema Tables for a full list and links to detailed descriptions of each table. From MariaDB
10.5, there are 80 Performance Schema tables, while until MariaDB 10.4, there are 52.
The performance schema cannot be activated at runtime - it must be set when the server starts by adding the following
line in your my.cnf configuration file.
performance_schema=ON
Until MariaDB 10.4, all memory used by the Performance Schema is allocated at startup. From MariaDB 10.5, some
memory is allocated dynamically, depending on load, number of connections, number of tables open etc.
You can decide what to enable/disable with WHERE NAME like "%what_to_enable" ; You can disable instrumentations
by setting ENABLED to "NO" .
You can also do this in your my.cnf file. The following enables all instrumentation of all stages (computation units) in
MariaDB:
[mysqld]
performance_schema=ON
performance-schema-instrument='stage/%=ON'
performance-schema-consumer-events-stages-current=ON
performance-schema-consumer-events-stages-history=ON
performance-schema-consumer-events-stages-history-long=ON

See Performance Schema System Variables for a full list of available system variables.
Note that the "consumer" events are not shown on this list, as they are only available as options, not as system
variables, and they can only be enabled at startup.
Column Comments
MariaDB starting with 10.7.1
From MariaDB 10.7.1, comments have been added to table columns in the Performance Schema. These can be
viewed with, for example:
SELECT column_name, column_comment FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_schema='performance_schema' AND table_name='file_instances';
...
*************************** 2. row ***************************
column_name: EVENT_NAME
column_comment: Instrument name associated with the file.
*************************** 3. row ***************************
column_name: OPEN_COUNT
column_comment: Open handles on the file. A value of greater than zero means
that the file is currently open.

With the data values removed, both of these statements normalize to:
which is the digest text. The digest text is then MD5 hashed, resulting in a digest. For example:
By contrast, the following two statements would not have the same digest as, while the data values are the same, they
call upon different tables.
The digest text is limited to 1024 bytes. Queries exceeding this limit are truncated with '...', meaning that long queries
that would otherwise have different digests may share the same digest.
Digest information is used in a number of performance scheme tables. These include

The mysql.global_priv table contains information about users that have permission to access the MariaDB server,
and their global privileges.
Note that the MariaDB privileges occur at many levels. A user may not be granted create privilege at the user level,
but may still have create permission on certain tables or databases, for example. See privileges for a more complete
view of the MariaDB privilege system.
The mysql.global_priv table contains the following fields:
491/3812
From MariaDB 10.5.2, in order to help the server understand which version a privilege record was written by, the priv
field contains a new JSON field, version_id (MDEV-21704 ).

The table is updated with the new position as part of each transaction committed during replication. This makes it
preferable that the table is using the same storage engine as the tables otherwise being modified in the transaction,
since otherwise a multi-engine transaction is needed that can reduce performance.
Starting from MariaDB 10.3.1, multiple versions of this table are supported, each using a different storage engine. This
is selected with the gtid_pos_auto_engines option, by giving a comma-separated list of engine names. The server will
then on-demand create an extra version of the table using the appropriate storage engine, and select the table version
using the same engine as the rest of the transaction, avoiding multi-engine transactions.
For example, when gtid_pos_auto_engines=innodb,rocksdb , tables mysql.gtid_slave_pos_InnoDB and
mysql.gtid_slave_pos_RocksDB will be created and used, if needed. If there is no match to the storage engine, the
default mysql.gtid_slave_pos table will be used; this also happens if non-transactional updates (like MyISAM) are
replicated, since there is then no active transaction at the time of the mysql.gtid_slave_pos table update.
Prior to MariaDB 10.3.1, only the default mysql.gtid_slave_pos table is available. In these versions, the table should
preferably be using the storage engine that is used for most replicated transactions.
The default mysql.gtid_slave_pos table will be initially created using the default storage engine set for the server
(which itself defaults to InnoDB). If the application load is primarily non-transactional MyISAM or Aria tables, it can be
beneficial to change the storage engine to avoid including an InnoDB update with every operation:
The mysql.gtid_slave_pos table should not be changed manually in any other way. From MariaDB 10.3.1, it is
preferable to use the gtid_pos_auto_engines server variable to get the GTID position updates to use the TokuDB or
RocksDB storage engine.
Note that for scalability reasons, the automatic creation of a new mysql.gtid_slave_posXXX table happens
asynchronously when the first transaction with the new storage engine is committed. So the very first few transactions
will update the old version of the table, until the new version is created and available.
The table mysql.gtid_slave_pos contains the following fields
int(10)
server_id NO NULL Server id.
unsigned
From MariaDB 10.3.1, some status variables are available to monitor the use of the different gtid_slave_pos table
versions:
Transactions_gtid_foreign_engine
493/3812
Number of replicated transactions where the update of the gtid_slave_pos table had to choose a storage engine that
did not otherwise participate in the transaction. This can indicate that setting gtid_pos_auto_engines might be useful.
Rpl_transactions_multi_engine
Number of replicated transactions that involved changes in multiple (transactional) storage engines, before considering
the update of gtid_slave_pos . These are transactions that were already cross-engine, independent of the GTID
position update introduced by replication
Transactions_multi_engine
Number of transactions that changed data in multiple (transactional) storage engines. If this is significantly larger than
Rpl_transactions_multi_engine, it indicates that setting gtid_pos_auto_engines could reduce the need for cross-
engine transactions.

The mysql.transaction_registry table is used for transaction-precise versioning, and contains the following fields:
The mysql.user table contains information about users that have permission to access the MariaDB server, and their
global privileges. The table can be queried and although it is possible to directly update it, it is best to use GRANT and
CREATE USER for adding users and privileges.
Note that the MariaDB privileges occur at many levels. A user may not be granted create privilege at the user level,
but may still have create permission on certain tables or databases, for example. See privileges for a more complete
view of the MariaDB privilege system.
510/3812
MariaDB until 10.3
In MariaDB 10.3 and before, this table uses the MyISAM storage engine.

privileges.
Can execute superuser
statements: CHANGE MASTER
TO, KILL (users who do not have
this privilege can only KILL their
own threads), PURGE LOGS,
SET global system variables, or
the mysqladmin debug command.
Also, this permission allows the

The Acl_roles status variable indicates how many rows the mysql.user table contains where is_role='Y' .
The Acl_users status variable, indicates how many rows the mysql.user table contains where is_role='N' .
Authentication Plugin
When the plugin column is empty, MariaDB defaults to authenticating accounts with either the
mysql_native_password or the mysql_old_password plugins. It decides which based on the hash used in the value for
the Password column. When there's no password set or when the 4.1 password hash is used, (which is 41 characters
long), MariaDB uses the mysql_native_password plugin. The mysql_old_password plugin is used with pre-4.1
password hashes, (which are 16 characters long).
MariaDB also supports the use of alternative authentication plugins. When the plugin column is not empty for the
given account, MariaDB uses it to authenticate connection attempts. The specific plugin then uses the value of either
the Password column or the authentication_string column to authenticate the user.
A specific authentication plugin can be used for an account by providing the IDENTIFIED VIA authentication_plugin
clause with the CREATE USER, ALTER USER, or GRANT statements.
513/3812
For example, the following statement would create an account that authenticates with the PAM authentication plugin:
If the specific authentication plugin uses the authentication_string column, then this value for the account can be
specified after a USING or AS keyword. For example, the PAM authentication plugin accepts a service name that would
go into the authentication_string column for the account:

Sys Schema sys_config Table
1 Configuration options for the Sys Schema.
The sys_config table holds configuration options for the Sys Schema.
This is a persistent table (using the InnoDB storage engine), with the configuration persisting across upgrades (new
options are added with INSERT IGNORE).
The table also has two related triggers, which maintain the user that INSERTs or UPDATEs the configuration -
sys_config_insert_set_user and sys_config_update_set_user respectively.
Its structure is as follows:
+----------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| variable | varchar(128) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| value | varchar(128) | YES | | NULL | |
| set_time | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP |
| set_by | varchar(128) | YES | | NULL | |
+----------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
Note, when functions check for configuration options, they first check whether a similar named user variable exists with
a value, and if this is not set then pull the configuration option from this table in to that named user variable. This is
done for performance reasons (to not continually SELECT from the table), however this comes with the side effect that
once inited, the values last with the session, somewhat like how session variables are inited from global variables. If the
values within this table are changed, they will not take effect until the user logs in again.
Options Included

Variable Description
Value
Sets the size to truncate statements to, for the format_statement

performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_digest
table.
Specifies whether it is allowed to do table scan queries on
diagnostics.allow_i_s_tables OFF
information_schema.TABLES for the diagnostics procedure.
Set to 'ON' to include the raw data (e.g. the original output of

extract_schema_from_file_name
Syntax
sys.extract_schema_from_file_name(path)
Description
extract_schema_from_file_name is a stored function available with the Sys Schema.
Given a file path, it returns the schema (database) name. The file name is assumed to be within the schema directory,
and therefore the function will not return the expected result with partitions, or when tables are defined using the
DATA_DIRECTORY table option.
The function does not examine anything on disk. The return value, a VARCHAR(64), is determined solely from the
provided path.
Examples
SELECT sys.extract_schema_from_file_name('/usr/local/mysql/data/db/t1.ibd');

Description
format_bytes is a stored function available with the Sys Schema.
Given a byte count, returns a string consisting of a value and the units in a human-readable format. The units will be in
bytes, KiB (kibibytes), MiB (mebibytes), GiB (gibibytes), TiB (tebibytes), or PiB (pebibytes).
The binary prefixes (kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi and pebi) were created in December 1998 by the International Electrotechnical
Commission to avoid possible ambiguity, as the widely-used prefixes kilo, mega, giga, tera and peta can be used to
refer to both the power-of-10 decimal system multipliers and the power-of-two binary system multipliers.

1.1.1.2.9.5 mariadb_schema
Contents
1. History
mariadb_schema is a data type qualifier that allows one to create MariaDB native date types in an SQL_MODE that has
conflicting data type translations.
mariadb_schema was introduced in MariaDB 10.3.24, MariaDB 10.4.14 and MariaDB 10.5.5.
For example, in SQL_MODE=ORACLE, if one creates a table with the DATE type, it will actually create a DATETIME
column to match what an Oracle user is expecting. To be able to create a MariaDB DATE in Oracle mode one would
have to use mariadb_schema :
mariadb_schema is also shown if one creates a table with DATE in MariaDB native mode and then does a SHOW
CREATE TABLE in ORACLE mode:
SET sql_mode=DEFAULT;
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
d DATE
);
SET SQL_mode=ORACLE;
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| t1 | CREATE TABLE "t1" (
"d" mariadb_schema.date DEFAULT NULL
) |
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
When the server sees the mariadb_schema qualifier, it disables sql_mode-specific data type translation and interprets
the data type literally, so for example mariadb_schema.DATE is interpreted as the traditional MariaDB DATE data type,
no matter what the current sql_mode is.
The mariadb_schema prefix is displayed only when the data type name would be ambiguous otherwise. The prefix is
displayed together with MariaDB DATE when SHOW CREATE TABLE is executed in SQL_MODE=ORACLE. The prefix
is not displayed when SHOW CREATE TABLE is executed in SQL_MODE=DEFAULT, or when a non-ambiguous data
type is displayed.
Note, the mariadb_schema prefix can be used with any data type, including non-ambiguous ones:
History
When running with SQL_MODE=ORACLE, MariaDB server translates the data type DATE to DATETIME , for better
Oracle compatibility:
537/3812
SET SQL_mode=ORACLE;
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
d DATE
);
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
+-------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+-------+---------------------------------------------------+
| t1 | CREATE TABLE "t1" (
"d" datetime DEFAULT NULL
) |
+-------+---------------------------------------------------+
SET sql_mode=DEFAULT;
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
d DATE
);
SET SQL_mode=ORACLE;
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
SET sql_mode=DEFAULT;
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE t1 (
d DATE
);
SET SQL_mode=ORACLE;
SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| t1 | CREATE TABLE "t1" (
"d" mariadb_schema.date DEFAULT NULL
) |
+-------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
The general log will be written into the general_log table, and the slow query log will be written into the slow_log table.
Only a limited set of operations are supported for those special tables. For example, direct DML statements (like
INSERT ) on those tables will fail with an error similar to the following:
538/3812
ERROR 1556 (HY000): You can't use locks with log tables.
To flush data to the tables, use FLUSH TABLES instead of FLUSH LOGS.
To empty the contents of the log tables, TRUNCATE TABLE can be used.
The log tables use the CSV storage engine by default. This allows an external program to read the files if needed:
normal CSV files are stored in the mysql subdirectory, in the data dir. However that engine is slow because it does not
support indexes, so you can convert the tables to MyISAM (but not other storage engines). To do so, first temporarily
disable logging:
1.1.1.2.10 BINLOG
Syntax
BINLOG 'str'
Description
BINLOG is an internal-use statement. It is generated by the mariadb-binlog/mysqlbinlog program as the printable
representation of certain events in binary log files. The 'str' value is a base 64-encoded string the that server
decodes to determine the data change indicated by the corresponding event. This statement requires the SUPER
privilege (<= MariaDB 10.5.1) or theBINLOG REPLAY privilege (>= MariaDB 10.5.2).
See also
MariaDB replication
Description
The PURGE BINARY LOGS statement deletes all the binary log files listed in the log index file prior to the specified log file
name or date. BINARY and MASTER are synonyms. Deleted log files also are removed from the list recorded in the index
file, so that the given log file becomes the first in the list.
The datetime expression is in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'.
If a replica is active but has yet to read from a binary log file you attempt to delete, the statement will fail with an
error. However, if the replica is not connected and has yet to read from a log file you delete, the file will be deleted,
but the replica will be unable to continue replicating once it connects again.
This statement has no effect if the server was not started with the --log-bin option to enable binary logging.
To list the binary log files on the server, use SHOW BINARY LOGS. To see which files they are reading, use SHOW
SLAVE STATUS (or SHOW REPLICA STATUS from MariaDB 10.5.1). You can only delete the files that are older than
the oldest file that is used by the slaves.
539/3812
To delete all binary log files, use RESET MASTER. To move to a new log file (for example if you want to remove the
current log file), use FLUSH LOGS before you execute PURGE LOGS .
If the expire_logs_days server system variable is not set to 0, the server automatically deletes binary log files after the
given number of days. From MariaDB 10.6, the binlog_expire_logs_seconds variable allows more precise control over
binlog deletion, and takes precedence if both are non-zero.
Requires the SUPER privilege or, from MariaDB 10.5.2, the BINLOG ADMIN privilege, to run.
Examples
PURGE BINARY LOGS TO 'mariadb-bin.000063';

tbl_index_list:
tbl_name [[INDEX|KEY] (index_name[, index_name] ...)]
Description
The CACHE INDEX statement assigns table indexes to a specific key cache. It is used only for MyISAM tables.
A default key cache exists and cannot be destroyed. To create more key caches, the key_buffer_size server system
variable.
The associations between tables indexes and key caches are lost on server restart. To recreate them automatically, it is
necessary to configure caches in a configuration file and include some CACHE INDEX (and optionally LOAD INDEX )
statements in the init file.
Examples
The following statement assigns indexes from the tables t1, t2, and t3 to the key cache named hot_cache:
