Information Schema INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES Table

The Information Schema INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES table contains information about InnoDB tablespaces. Until MariaDB 10.5 it was based on the internal SYS_TABLESPACES table. This internal table was removed in MariaDB 10.6.0, so this Information Schema table has been repurposed to directly reflect the filesystem (fil_system.space_list).

The PROCESS privilege is required to view the table.

It has the following columns:

ColumnDescription
SPACEUnique InnoDB tablespace identifier.
NAMEDatabase and table name separated by a backslash, or the uppercase InnoDB system table name.
FLAG1 if a DATA DIRECTORY option has been specified in CREATE TABLE, otherwise 0.
FILE_FORMATInnoDB file format. Removed in MariaDB 10.3.1
ROW_FORMATInnoDB storage format used for this tablespace. If the Antelope file format is used, this value is always Compact or Redundant. When a table's checksum algorithm is full_crc32 (the default from MariaDB 10.5), the value can only be Compressed or NULL.
PAGE_SIZEPage size in bytes for this tablespace. Until MariaDB 10.5.0, this was the value of the innodb_page_size variable. From MariaDB 10.6.0, contains the physical page size of a page (previously ZIP_PAGE_SIZE).
ZIP_PAGE_SIZEZip page size for this tablespace. Removed in MariaDB 10.6.0.
SPACE_TYPETablespace type. Can be General for general tablespaces or Single for file-per-table tablespaces. Introduced MariaDB 10.2.1. Removed MariaDB 10.5.0.
FS_BLOCK_SIZEFile system block size. Introduced MariaDB 10.2.1.
FILE_SIZEMaximum size of the file, uncompressed. Introduced MariaDB 10.2.1.
ALLOCATED_SIZEActual size of the file as per space allocated on disk. Introduced MariaDB 10.2.1.
FILENAMETablespace datafile path, previously part of the INNODB_SYS_DATAFILES table. Added in MariaDB 10.6.0.
