What is information_schema database?

Information_schema provides access to database metadata.

The information_schema database is a virtual database that MySQL uses to store information about your databases and other settings. For example, you can query the information_schema database to obtain information about character sets, statistics, and much more.

Although you can query tables in the information_schema database, you cannot modify them. You also cannot delete the information_schema database.
