 This section provides information and usage examples for `InnoDB` [`INFORMATION_SCHEMA`](information-schema.html) tables.

`InnoDB` `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` tables provide metadata, status information, and statistics about various aspects of the `InnoDB` storage engine. You can view a list of `InnoDB` `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` tables by issuing a [`SHOW TABLES`](show-tables.html) statement on the `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` database:

```
mysql> SHOW TABLES FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA LIKE 'INNODB%';
```

 For table definitions, see [Section 26.4, “INFORMATION\_SCHEMA InnoDB Tables”](innodb-information-schema-tables.html). For general information regarding the `MySQL` `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` database, see [Chapter 26, *INFORMATION\_SCHEMA Tables*](information-schema.html).
