The
      GLOBAL_VARIABLES
      and
      SESSION_VARIABLES
      tables provide information about server status variables. Their
      contents correspond to the information produced by the
      SHOW GLOBAL
      VARIABLES and
      SHOW SESSION
      VARIABLES statements (see
      Section 12.4.5.41, “SHOW VARIABLES Syntax”).

Notes:
          The
          GLOBAL_VARIABLES
          and
          SESSION_VARIABLES
          tables were added in MySQL 5.1.12.
        
          Beginning with MySQL 5.1.19, the
          VARIABLE_VALUE column for each of these
          tables is defined as VARCHAR(20480).
          Previously, this column had the data type
          LONGTEXT; this
          was changed in order to make these tables consistent with the
          GLOBAL_STATUS
          and
          SESSION_STATUS
          tables, whose definitions had been changed in that version
          (see Section 20.24, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA GLOBAL_STATUS and
      SESSION_STATUS
      Tables”).
