While working on a MariaDB 10.0.14 instance today I noticed the INNODB_% tables were missing from information_schema. I could tell the InnoDB plugin was loaded.

SHOW PLUGINS;

Name Status Type Library License
InnoDB ACTIVE STORAGE ENGINE ha_innodb.so GPL

Checking the documentation I could see that these views are supplied by the innodb plugin itself. So the solution should be in the form of an INSTALL PLUGIN statement. I executed the following query on another MariaDB instance, of the same version, that had the INNODB_% table in info schema…

SELECT CONCAT("INSTALL PLUGIN ", PLUGIN_NAME, " SONAME 'ha_innodb.so';")
FROM information_schema.PLUGINS
WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE 'INNODB_%';

This generated the following statements. I executed these on the other instance to create the INNODB tables…
