# TABLE\_STATISTICS and INTERNAL\_TABLE\_STATISTICS

This view contains information about table statistics. It contains one row per table, per partition. `INTERNAL_TABLE_STATICS` (an internal use-only table added in v7.8) contains the same columns, and shows information for SingleStore internal metadata tables.

This information can be useful for [Detecting and Resolving Data Skew](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/create-a-database/detecting-and-resolving-data-skew.md).
