box.space._index
_index is a system space.
Tuples in this space contain the following fields:
id(= id of space),iid(= index number within space),name,type,opts(e.g. unique option), [tuple-field-no,tuple-field-type...].
Here is what _index contains in a typical installation:
tarantool> box.space._index:select{}---- - [272, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'string']]]- [280, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned']]]- [280, 1, 'owner', 'tree', {'unique': false}, [[1, 'unsigned']]]- [280, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[2, 'string']]]- [281, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned']]]- [281, 1, 'owner', 'tree', {'unique': false}, [[1, 'unsigned']]]- [281, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[2, 'string']]]- [288, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned'], [1, 'unsigned']]]- [288, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned'], [2, 'string']]]- [289, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned'], [1, 'unsigned']]]- [289, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned'], [2, 'string']]]- [296, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'unsigned']]]- [296, 1, 'owner', 'tree', {'unique': false}, [[1, 'unsigned']]]- [296, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[2, 'string']]]---...
