Description
Change Request
Please answer the following questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!
-
Describe what you find is inappropriate or missing in the existing docs.
https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/information-schema-partitions only shows the table and its columns, not what the columns mean. -
Describe your suggestion or addition.
For each column describe the content, I was recently asked for how to get the partition limits/values for RANGE partitioning :) Which is in PARTITION_DESCRIPTION
Similar to how https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/information-schema-columns is documented -
Provide some reference materials (such as documents and websites) if you could.

Research direction
Start with the existing INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS documentation page and compare its structure with the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS page. Use the linked MySQL reference for column meanings, and finish when every PARTITIONS column has a clear description, including PARTITION_DESCRIPTION and its partition limits or values.
