#!@PERL@ -w use strict; use Getopt::Long; use DBI; =head1 NAME WARNING: MySQL versions 5.0 and above feature the INFORMATION_SCHEMA pseudo-database which contains always up-to-date metadata information about all tables. So instead of using this script one can now simply query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS pseudo-tables. Please see the MySQL manual for more information about INFORMATION_SCHEMA. This script will be removed from the MySQL distribution in version 5.1. mysql_tableinfo - creates and populates information tables with the output of SHOW DATABASES, SHOW TABLES (or SHOW TABLE STATUS), SHOW COLUMNS and SHOW INDEX.

After that, you can query these information tables, for example to build your admin scripts with SQL queries, like SELECT CONCAT("CHECK TABLE ",`database`,".",`table`," EXTENDED;") FROM info.tbl WHERE ... ; as people usually do with some other RDBMS (note: to increase the speed of your queries on the info tables, you may add some index on them). The database_like_wild and table_like_wild instructs the program to gather information only about databases and tables whose names match these patterns. If the info tables already exist, their rows matching the patterns are simply deleted and replaced by the new ones. That is, old rows not matching the patterns are not touched. If the database_like_wild and table_like_wild arguments are not specified on the command-line they default to "%". The program : - does CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write where database_to_write is the database name specified on the command-line. - does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`db` - fills database_to_write.`db` with the output of SHOW DATABASES LIKE database_like_wild - does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`tbl` (respectively database_to_write.`tbl_status` if the --tbl-status option is on) - for every found database, fills database_to_write.`tbl` (respectively database_to_write.`tbl_status`) with the output of SHOW TABLES FROM found_db LIKE table_like_wild (respectively SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM found_db LIKE table_like_wild) - if the --col option is on, * does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`col` * for every found table, fills database_to_write.`col` with the output of SHOW COLUMNS FROM found_tbl FROM found_db - if the --idx option is on, * does CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS database_to_write.`idx` * for every found table, fills database_to_write.`idx` with the output of SHOW INDEX FROM found_tbl FROM found_db Some options may modify this general scheme (see below). As mentioned, the contents of the info tables are the output of SHOW commands. In fact the contents are slightly more complete : - the `tbl` (or `tbl_status`) info table has an extra column which contains the database name, - the `col` info table has an extra column which contains the table name, and an extra column which contains, for each described column, the number of this column in the table owning it (this extra column is called `Seq_in_table`). `Seq_in_table` makes it possible for you to retrieve your columns in sorted order, when you are querying the `col` table. - the `index` info table has an extra column which contains the database name. Caution: info tables contain certain columns (e.g. Database, Table, Null...) whose names, as they are MySQL reserved words, need to be backquoted (`...`) when used in SQL statements. Caution: as information fetching and info tables filling happen at the same time, info tables may contain inaccurate information about themselves. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item --clear Does DROP TABLE on the info tables (only those that the program is going to fill, for example if you do not use --col it won't drop the `col` table) and processes normally. Does not drop database_to_write. =item --clear-only Same as --clear but exits after the DROPs. =item --col Adds columns information (into table `col`). =item --idx Adds index information (into table `idx`). =item --prefix prefix The info tables are named from the concatenation of prefix and, respectively, db, tbl (or tbl_status), col, idx. Do not quote ('') or backquote (``) prefix. =item -q, --quiet Does not warn you about what the script is going to do (DROP TABLE etc) and does not ask for a confirmation before starting. =item --tbl-status Instead of using SHOW TABLES, uses SHOW TABLE STATUS (much more complete information, but slower). =item --help Display helpscreen and exit =item -u, --user=# user for database login if not current user. Give a user who has sufficient privileges (CREATE, ...). =item -p, --password=# password to use when connecting to server =item -h, --host=# host to connect to =item -P, --port=# port to use when connecting to server =item -S, --socket=# UNIX domain socket to use when connecting to server =head1 WARRANTY This software is free and comes without warranty of any kind.
