NAME
ibd2sdi - InnoDB utility for extracting serialized dictionary information (SDI) from an
InnoDB tablespace
SYNOPSIS
ibd2sdi [options] file_name1 [file_name2 file_name3 ...]
DESCRIPTION
ibd2sdi is a utility for extracting serialized dictionary information (SDI) from InnoDB
tablespace files. SDI data is present in all persistent InnoDB tablespace files.
ibd2sdi can be run on file-per-table tablespace files (*.ibd files), general tablespace
files (*.ibd files), system tablespace files (ibdata* files), and the data dictionary
tablespace (mysql.ibd). It is not supported for use with temporary tablespaces or undo
tablespaces.
ibd2sdi can be used at runtime or while the server is offline. During DDL operations,
ROLLBACK operations, and undo log purge operations related to SDI, there may be a short
interval of time when ibd2sdi fails to read SDI data stored in the tablespace.
ibd2sdi performs an uncommitted read of SDI from the specified tablespace. Redo logs and
undo logs are not accessed.
Invoke the ibd2sdi utility like this:
ibd2sdi [options] file_name1 [file_name2 file_name3 ...]
ibd2sdi supports multi-file tablespaces like the InnoDB system tablespace, but it cannot
be run on more than one tablespace at a time. For multi-file tablespaces, specify each
file:
ibd2sdi ibdata1 ibdata2
The files of a multi-file tablespace must be specified in order of the ascending page
number. If two successive files have the same space ID, the later file must start with the
last page number of the previous file + 1.
ibd2sdi outputs SDI (containing id, type, and data fields) in JSON format. ibd2sdi
Options
ibd2sdi supports the following options:

Display a help message and exit. For example:
Usage: ./ibd2sdi [-v] [-c <strict-check>] [-d <dump file name>] [-n] filename1 [filenames]
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/ibd2sdi.html for usage hints.

Specify the strict checksum algorithm by the user.
Allowed values are innodb, crc32, none.
-n, --no-check Ignore the checksum verification.
-p, --pretty Pretty format the SDI output.If false, SDI would be not
human readable but it will be of less size
(Defaults to on; use --skip-pretty to disable.)

Retrieves serialized dictionary information (SDI) matching the specified table or
tablespace object id. An object id is unique to the object type. Table and tablespace
object IDs are also found in the id column of the mysql.tables and mysql.tablespace
data dictionary tables. For information about data dictionary tables, see
Section 14.1, “Data Dictionary Schema”.

Retrieves serialized dictionary information (SDI) matching the specified object type.
SDI is provided for table (type=1) and tablespace (type=2) objects.
This example shows output for a tablespace ts1 in the test database:
$> ibd2sdi --type=2 ../data/test/ts1.ibd
["ibd2sdi"
,
{
"type": 2,
"id": 7,
"object":
{
"mysqld_version_id": 80003,
"dd_version": 80003,
"sdi_version": 1,
"dd_object_type": "Tablespace",
"dd_object": {
"name": "test/ts1",
"comment": "",
"options": "",
"se_private_data": "flags=16417;id=2;server_version=80003;space_version=1;",
"engine": "InnoDB",
"files": [
{
"ordinal_position": 1,
"filename": "./test/ts1.ibd",
"se_private_data": "id=2;"
}
]
}
}
}
]
Due to the way in which InnoDB handles default value metadata, a default value may be
present and non-empty in ibd2sdi output for a given table column even if it is not
defined using DEFAULT. Consider the two tables created using the following statements,
in the database named i:
CREATE TABLE t1 (c VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE t2 (c VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL DEFAULT "Sakila");
Using ibd2sdi, we can see that the default_value for column c is nonempty and is in
fact padded to length in both tables, like this:
$> ibd2sdi ../data/i/t1.ibd | grep -m1 '\"default_value\"' | cut -b34- | sed -e s/,//
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\nAAAAAAAAAAA="
$> ibd2sdi ../data/i/t2.ibd | grep -m1 '\"default_value\"' | cut -b34- | sed -e s/,//
"BlNha2lsYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\nAAAAAAAAAAA="
Examination of ibd2sdi output may be easier using a JSON-aware utility like jq[1], as
shown here:
$> ibd2sdi ../data/i/t1.ibd | jq '.[1]["object"]["dd_object"]["columns"][0]["default_value"]'
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\nAAAAAAAAAAA="
$> ibd2sdi ../data/i/t2.ibd | jq '.[1]["object"]["dd_object"]["columns"][0]["default_value"]'
"BlNha2lsYQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA\nAAAAAAAAAAA="

• --strict-check, -c
┌────────────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
│Command-Line Format │ --strict-check=algorithm │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
│Type │ Enumeration │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
│Default Value │ crc32 │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
│Valid Values │ │

│ │ │
│ │ none │
└────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┘
Specifies a strict checksum algorithm for validating the checksum of pages that are
read. Options include innodb, crc32, and none.
In this example, the strict version of the innodb checksum algorithm is specified:
ibd2sdi --strict-check=innodb ../data/test/t1.ibd
In this example, the strict version of crc32 checksum algorithm is specified:
ibd2sdi -c crc32 ../data/test/t1.ibd
If you do not specify the --strict-check option, validation is performed against
non-strict innodb, crc32 and none checksums.
• --no-check, -n
┌────────────────────┬────────────┐
│Command-Line Format │ --no-check │
├────────────────────┼────────────┤
│Type │ Boolean │
├────────────────────┼────────────┤
│Default Value │ false │
└────────────────────┴────────────┘
Skips checksum validation for pages that are read.
ibd2sdi --no-check ../data/test/t1.ibd
• --pretty, -p
┌────────────────────┬──────────┐
│Command-Line Format │ --pretty │
├────────────────────┼──────────┤
│Type │ Boolean │
├────────────────────┼──────────┤

└────────────────────┴──────────┘
Outputs SDI data in JSON pretty print format. Enabled by default. If disabled, SDI is
not human readable but is smaller in size. Use --skip-pretty to disable.
