Let us first see how we can display an index from MySQL. For that, use the SHOW command.
The query to show an index is as follows −
mysql> SHOW INDEX FROM indexingdemo;
Here is the output.
+--------------+------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+---------+ | Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | Index_comment | Visible | +--------------+------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+---------+ | indexingdemo | 1 | indexName | 1 | Name | A | 0 | NULL | NULL | YES | BTREE | | | YES | +--------------+------------+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.17 sec)
You can get a list of MySQL indexes with the help of the following query.
Before that, let us first see the syntax.
SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME, INDEX_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'yourDatabaseName';
Now, let us apply the above syntax to get the list of MySQL indexes.
mysql> SELECT DISTINCT -> TABLE_NAME, -> INDEX_NAME -> FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS -> WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'business';
The following is the output that displays the list of indexes.
