As of MySQL 5.6.3, the events_statements_history table contains the most recent N statement events per thread. The value of N is autosized at server startup. To set the table size explicitly, set the performance_schema_events_statements_history_size system variable at server startup. Statement events are not added to the table until they have ended. As new events are added, older events are discarded if the table is full.

The events_statements_history table has the same structure as events_statements_current. See Section 22.10.6.1, “The events_statements_current Table”.

TRUNCATE TABLE is permitted for the events_statements_history table. It removes the rows.

For information about configuration of statement event collection, see Section 22.10.6, “Performance Schema Statement Event Tables”.
