Syntax:
SHOW [GLOBAL | SESSION] STATUS
    [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]

SHOW STATUS provides server status information (see
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/server-status-variables.html).
This statement does not require any privilege. It requires only the
ability to connect to the server.

Status variable information is also available from these sources:

o Performance Schema tables. See
  https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/performance-schema-status-var
  iable-tables.html.

o The mysqladmin extended-status command. See
  https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysqladmin.html.

For SHOW STATUS, a LIKE clause, if present, indicates which variable
names to match. A WHERE clause can be given to select rows using more
general conditions, as discussed in
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/extended-show.html.

SHOW STATUS accepts an optional GLOBAL or SESSION variable scope
modifier:

o With a GLOBAL modifier, the statement displays the global status
  values. A global status variable may represent status for some aspect
  of the server itself (for example, Aborted_connects), or the
  aggregated status over all connections to MySQL (for example,
  Bytes_received and Bytes_sent). If a variable has no global value,
  the session value is displayed.

o With a SESSION modifier, the statement displays the status variable
  values for the current connection. If a variable has no session
  value, the global value is displayed. LOCAL is a synonym for SESSION.

o If no modifier is present, the default is SESSION.

The scope for each status variable is listed at
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/server-status-variables.html.

Each invocation of the SHOW STATUS statement uses an internal temporary
table and increments the global Created_tmp_tables value.

With a LIKE clause, the statement displays only rows for those
variables with names that match the pattern:

mysql> SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Key%';
+--------------------+----------+
| Variable_name      | Value    |
+--------------------+----------+
| Key_blocks_used    | 14955    |
| Key_read_requests  | 96854827 |
| Key_reads          | 162040   |
| Key_write_requests | 7589728  |
| Key_writes         | 3813196  |
