What is performance_schema used for in mysql

  我们知道，在mysql数据库中，有一个名为performance_schema的系统数据库，那么它内部是什么样子的呢，今天，我们就一探究竟吧。

  1、进入数据库

  我们通过mysql命令行客户端进入mysql系统：

lwk@qwfys ~ $ mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 6
Server version: 5.7.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (Ubuntu)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> 

  2、查看所有数据库列表

mysql>show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
| sys                |
| test               |
+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> 

  3、切换到performance_schema数据库

mysql> use performance_schema;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed

  4、查看都有哪些表

mysql> show tables;
