The blocks table is a static table which simply contains the names and internal IDs of all NDB kernel blocks (see NDB Kernel Blocks). It is for use by the other ndbinfo tables (most of which are actually views) in mapping block numbers to block names for producing human-readable output.

The blocks table contains the following columns:

Notes

To obtain a list of all block names, simply execute SELECT block_name FROM ndbinfo.blocks. Although this is a static table, its content can vary between different NDB Cluster releases.
