Information Schema View List

On this page

Here is an alphabetical list of all the information_schema views that SingleStore supports. Data retention value listed as "N/A" means the view returns applicable data in the current state of the cluster.

There are some additional, unused tables that are included purely for backward compatibility with MySQL, listed here.
