Information Schema INNODB_LOCKS Table

The Information Schema INNODB_LOCKS table stores information about locks that InnoDB transactions have requested but not yet acquired, or that are blocking another transaction.

It has the following columns:

Column	Description
Column	Description
LOCK_ID	Lock ID number - the format is not fixed, so do not rely upon the number for information.
LOCK_TRX_ID	Lock's transaction ID. Matches the INNODB_TRX.TRX_ID column.
LOCK_MODE	Lock mode. One of S (shared), X (exclusive), IS (intention shared), IX (intention exclusive row lock), S_GAP (shared gap lock), X_GAP (exclusive gap lock), IS_GAP (intention shared gap lock), IX_GAP (intention exclusive gap lock) or AUTO_INC (auto-increment table level lock).
LOCK_TYPE	Whether the lock is RECORD (row level) or TABLE level.
LOCK_TABLE	Name of the locked table,or table containing locked rows.
LOCK_INDEX	Index name if a RECORD LOCK_TYPE, or NULL if not.
LOCK_SPACE	Tablespace ID if a RECORD LOCK_TYPE, or NULL if not.
LOCK_PAGE	Locked record page number if a RECORD LOCK_TYPE, or NULL if not.
LOCK_REC	Locked record heap number if a RECORD LOCK_TYPE, or NULL if not.
LOCK_DATA	Locked record primary key as an SQL string if a RECORD LOCK_TYPE, or NULL if not. If no primary key exists, the internal InnoDB row_id number is instead used. To avoid unnecessary IO, also NULL if the locked record page is not in the buffer pool

The table is often used in conjunction with the INNODB_LOCK_WAITS and INNODB_TRX tables to diagnose problematic locks and transactions

Example

-- session 1
START TRANSACTION;
UPDATE t SET id = 15 WHERE id = 10;

-- session 2
DELETE FROM t WHERE id = 10;

-- session 1
USE information_schema;
SELECT l.*, t.*
    FROM information_schema.INNODB_LOCKS l
    JOIN information_schema.INNODB_TRX t
        ON l.lock_trx_id = t.trx_id
    WHERE trx_state = 'LOCK WAIT' \G
