Because
information_schema.tables
andinformation_schema.columns
do not have indexes on them, when they get large, joining them becomes painful. We have a database with over 10k tables and more than 200k columns. The old query takes forever.The new query do not look at
information_schema.tables
at all. This works if yourinformation_schema.columns
table is in good shape in terms of data integrity (and it should be).Tested on MySQL 5.5, 5.6(Percona), 5.7(Percona). The schema has not changed since then.
