Performance Schema file_instances Table

Description

The file_instances table lists instances of instruments seen by the Performance Schema when executing file I/O instrumentation, and the associated files. Only files that have been opened, and that have not been deleted, will be listed in the table.

The performance_schema_max_file_instances system variable specifies the maximum number of instrumented file objects.

Example

SELECT * FROM performance_schema.file_instances WHERE OPEN_COUNT>0;
