I’ve created a script to list the 100 most frequently used abbreviations in the following table. I suggest we start by selecting some key abbreviations from this table.
Note:
- Only a few of the abbreviations in the table have already been covered in the current Glossary doc: TSO, MPP, VPC, MVCC.
- Certain abbreviations, like SQL, CPU, and ID, are widely understood and don’t require explanations.

Here, I’ve selected 20 common abbreviations from the previous table as candidates for the Glossary document. @lilin90 and @dveeden PTAL, thanks.
I assume the list is based on things that are all uppercase? Maybe we should add things like PoC, QoS and IdP as well?

Currently, the TiDB Glossary doc lacks explanations for some frequently used abbreviations such as PD, DM, and BR.
To enhance clarity and accessibility for users, we propose expanding the TiDB glossary to include commonly used abbreviations alongside existing product-specific terms. This update will help users better understand technical documents and reduce potential confusion, especially for new users.
