NAME
ndb_desc - describe NDB tables
SYNOPSIS
ndb_desc options
DESCRIPTION
ndb_desc provides a detailed description of one or more NDB tables.
Usage
ndb_desc -c connect_string tbl_name -d db_name [-p]
Sample Output
.PP MySQL table creation and population statements:
USE test;
CREATE TABLE fish (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
length_mm INT(11) NOT NULL,
weight_gm INT(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY pk (id),
UNIQUE KEY uk (name)
) ENGINE=NDB;
INSERT INTO fish VALUES
('','guppy', 35, 2), ('','tuna', 2500, 150000),
('','shark', 3000, 110000), ('','manta ray', 1500, 50000),
('','grouper', 900, 125000), ('','puffer', 250, 2500);
Output from ndb_desc:

Information about multiple tables can be obtained in a single
invocation of ndb_desc by using their names, separated by spaces. All
of the tables must be in the same database.
The Extent_space and Free extent_space columns are applicable only to
NDB tables having columns on disk; for tables having only in-memory
columns, these columns always contain the value 0.
To illustrate their use, we modify the previous example. First, we must
create the necessary Disk Data objects, as shown here:
CREATE LOGFILE GROUP lg_1
ADD UNDOFILE 'undo_1.log'
INITIAL_SIZE 16M
UNDO_BUFFER_SIZE 2M
ENGINE NDB;
ALTER LOGFILE GROUP lg_1
ADD UNDOFILE 'undo_2.log'
INITIAL_SIZE 12M
ENGINE NDB;
CREATE TABLESPACE ts_1
ADD DATAFILE 'data_1.dat'
USE LOGFILE GROUP lg_1
INITIAL_SIZE 32M
ENGINE NDB;
ALTER TABLESPACE ts_1
ADD DATAFILE 'data_2.dat'
INITIAL_SIZE 48M
ENGINE NDB;
(For more information on the statements just shown and the objects
created by them, see Section 16.5.11.1, "MySQL Cluster Disk Data
Objects", as well as Section 12.1.14, "CREATE LOGFILE GROUP Syntax",
and Section 12.1.18, "CREATE TABLESPACE Syntax".)
Now we can create and populate a version of the fish table that stores
2 of its columns on disk (deleting the previous version of the table
first, if it already exists):
CREATE TABLE fish (
id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
length_mm INT(11) NOT NULL,
weight_gm INT(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY pk (id),
UNIQUE KEY uk (name)
) TABLESPACE ts_1 STORAGE DISK
ENGINE=NDB;
INSERT INTO fish VALUES
('','guppy', 35, 2), ('','tuna', 2500, 150000),
('','shark', 3000, 110000), ('','manta ray', 1500, 50000),
('','grouper', 900, 125000), ('','puffer', 250, 2500);
When run against this version of the table, ndb_desc displays the
following output:
shell> ./ndb_desc -c localhost fish -d test -p
-- fish --

1 4 4 32768 32768 1048576 1044400
NDBT_ProgramExit: 0 - OK
This means that 1048576 bytes are allocated from the tablespace for
this table on each partition, of which 1044440 bytes remain free for
additional storage. In other words, 1048576 - 1044440 = 4136 bytes per
partition is currently being used to store the data from this table's
disk-based columns. The number of bytes shown as Free extent_space is
available for storing on-disk column data from the fish table only; for
this reason, it is not visible when selecting from the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.FILES table.
Additional Options
o --extra-partition-info, -p
Print additional information about the table's partitions.
o --blob-info, -b
Include information about subordinate BLOB and TEXT columns.
Use of this option also requires the use of the
--extra-partition-info (-p) option.
o --extra-node-info, -n
Include information about the mappings between table partitions and
the data nodes upon which they reside. This information can be
useful for verifying distribution awareness mechanisms and
supporting more efficient application access to the data stored in
MySQL Cluster.
Use of this option also requires the use of the
--extra-partition-info (-p) option.
