This is the equivalent of SHOW ENGINES , but uses the ENGINES  table of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database. Unlike the case with the SHOW ENGINES  statement, it is possible to filter the results using a LIKE  clause, and to select specific columns to obtain information that may be of use in scripts. For example, the following query shows whether the server was built with NDB  support and, if so, whether it is enabled: 

mysql> SELECT ENGINE, SUPPORT FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ENGINES -> WHERE ENGINE LIKE ’NDB%’; +------------+---------+ | ENGINE | SUPPORT | +------------+---------+ | ndbcluster | YES | | ndbinfo | YES | +------------+---------+ 

If NDB  support is not enabled, the preceding query returns an empty set. See Section 26.3.13, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA ENGINES Table” , for more information. 

• SHOW VARIABLES LIKE ’NDB%’ 

This statement provides a list of most server system variables relating to the NDB  storage engine, and their values, as shown here: 

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE ’NDB%’; +--------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Variable_name | Value | +--------------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | ndb_allow_copying_alter_table | ON | | ndb_autoincrement_prefetch_sz | 512 | | ndb_batch_size | 32768 | | ndb_blob_read_batch_bytes | 65536 | | ndb_blob_write_batch_bytes | 65536 | | ndb_clear_apply_status | ON | | ndb_cluster_connection_pool | 1 | | ndb_cluster_connection_pool_nodeids | | | ndb_connectstring | 127.0.0.1 | | ndb_data_node_neighbour | 0 | | ndb_default_column_format | FIXED | | ndb_deferred_constraints | 0 | | ndb_distribution | KEYHASH | | ndb_eventbuffer_free_percent | 20 | | ndb_eventbuffer_max_alloc | 0 | | ndb_extra_logging | 1 | | ndb_force_send | ON | | ndb_fully_replicated | OFF | | ndb_index_stat_enable | ON | | ndb_index_stat_option | loop_enable=1000ms,loop_idle=1000ms, loop_busy=100ms,update_batch=1,read_batch=4,idle_batch=32,check_batch=8, check_delay=10m,delete_batch=8,clean_delay=1m,error_batch=4,error_delay=1m, evict_batch=8,evict_delay=1m,cache_limit=32M,cache_lowpct=90,zero_total=0 | | ndb_join_pushdown | ON | | ndb_log_apply_status | OFF | | ndb_log_bin | OFF | | ndb_log_binlog_index | ON | | ndb_log_empty_epochs | OFF | | ndb_log_empty_update | OFF | | ndb_log_exclusive_reads | OFF | | ndb_log_orig | OFF | | ndb_log_transaction_id | OFF | | ndb_log_update_as_write | ON | | ndb_log_update_minimal | OFF | | ndb_log_updated_only | ON | | ndb_metadata_check | ON | | ndb_metadata_check_interval | 60 |
