#### 23.6.14.5 The ndbinfo blocks Table

[]()

 The `blocks` table is a static table which simply contains the names and internal IDs of all NDB kernel blocks (see [NDB Kernel Blocks](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndb-internals/en/ndb-internals-kernel-blocks.html)). It is for use by the other [`ndbinfo`](mysql-cluster-ndbinfo.html) tables (most of which are actually views) in mapping block numbers to block names for producing human-readable output.

 The `blocks` table contains the following columns:

* `block_number`

   Block number

* `block_name`

   Block name

##### Notes

 To obtain a list of all block names, simply execute `SELECT block_name FROM ndbinfo.blocks`. Although this is a static table, its content can vary between different NDB Cluster releases.
