# ############################################################################ # Documentation # ############################################################################ =pod =head1 NAME mysql-query-profiler - Execute SQL statements and print statistics, or measure activity caused by other processes. =head1 SYNOPSIS mysql-query-profiler can profile the (semicolon-terminated, blank-line separated) queries in a file: mysql-query-profiler queries.sql cat queries.sql | mysql-query-profiler mysql-query-profiler -vv queries.sql mysql-query-profiler -v --separate --only 2,5,6 queries.sql mysql-query-profiler --tab queries.sql > results.csv It can also just observe what happens in the server: mysql-query-profiler --external Or it can run shell commands from a file and measure the result: mysql-query-profiler --external commands.txt mysql-query-profiler --external - < commands.txt Read L<"HOW TO INTERPRET"> to learn what it all means. =head1 OPTIONS Some options can be negated by prefixing --no to the option name. =over =item --allowcache Allows the MySQL query cache to cache the queries executed. By default this is disabled. When enabled, cache profiling information is added to the printout. See L for more information about the query cache. =item --askpass Prompt for password for connections. =item --calibrate Makes MySQL Query Profiler measure and compensate for the "cost of observation" caused by running SHOW STATUS. Enabled by default. Only works reliably on a quiet server; on a busy server, other processes can cause the calibration to be wrong. =item --database Database to use for connection. =item --defaults-file Only read default options from the given file. =item --external Makes MySQL Query Profiler measure the cost of observation, then pause, typically while you run an external program. When you press [enter] MySQL Query Profiler will stop sleeping and take another measurement, then print statistics as usual. When there is a filename on the command line, MySQL Query Profiler executes each line in the file as a shell command. If you give - as the filename, MySQL Query Profiler reads from STDIN. Output from shell commands is printed to STDOUT and terminated with __BEGIN__, after which MySQL Query Profiler prints its own output. =item --flush Calls FLUSH TABLES before profiling. If you are executing queries from a batch file, specifying --flush twice will cause MySQL Query Profiler to call FLUSH TABLES between every query, not just once at the beginning. Default is not to flush at all. See L for more information. =item --help Displays a help message. =item --host Connect to host. =item --innodb Shows InnoDB statistics. Enabled by default. =item --only Only shows statistics for the specified queries or commands in a batch file. Specify as a comma-separated list of numbers beginning at 1. =item --password Password to use for connection. =item --port Port number to use for connection. =item --separate Print statistics for each query or command in a batch file. The default is to show only the summary of the entire batch. See also L<"--verbose">. =item --socket Socket file to use for connection. =item --tab Print tab-separated values for easy reading with a spreadsheet, instead of whitespace-aligned columns for humans to read. =item --user User for login if not current user. =item --verbose Verbosity; specify multiple times for more detailed output. When L<"--tab"> is given, prints variables that don't change. Otherwise increasing the level of verbosity includes extra sections in the output. =item --verify Verify nothing else is accessing the server. This is a weak verification; it simply calibrates twice (see L<"--calibrate">) and verifies that the cost of observation remains constant. =item --version Output version information and exit. =back =head1 DESCRIPTION MySQL Query Profiler reads a file containing one or more SQL statements or shell commands, executes them, and analyzes the output of SHOW STATUS afterwards. It then prints statistics about how the batch performed. For example, it can show how many table scans the batch caused, how many page reads, how many temporary tables, and so forth. All command-line arguments are optional, but you must either specify a file containing the batch to profile as the last argument, or specify that you're profiling an external program with the L<"--external"> option, or provide input to STDIN. If the file contains multiple statements, they must be separated by blank lines. If you don't do that, MySQL Query Profiler won't be able to split the file into individual queries, and MySQL will complain about syntax errors. If the MySQL server version is before 5.0.2, you should make sure the server is completely unused before trying to profile a batch. Prior to this version, SHOW STATUS showed only global status variables, so other queries will interfere and produce false results. MySQL Query Profiler will try to detect if anything did interfere, but there can be no guarantees. Prior to MySQL 5.0.2, InnoDB status variables are not available, and prior to version 5.0.3, InnoDB row lock status variables are not available. MySQL Query Profiler will omit any output related to these variables if they're not available. For more information about SHOW STATUS, read the relevant section of the MySQL manual at L =head1 HOW TO INTERPRET =head2 TAB-SEPARATED OUTPUT If you specify L<"--tab">, you will get the raw output of SHOW STATUS in tab-separated format, convenient for opening with a spreadsheet. This is not the default output, but it's so much easier to describe that I'll cover it first. =over =item * Most of the command-line options for controlling verbosity and such are ignored in --tab mode. =item * The variable names you see in MySQL, such as 'Com_select', are kept -- there are no euphimisms, so you have to know your MySQL variables. =item * The columns are Variable_name, Before, After1...AfterN, Calibration. The Variable_name column is just what it sounds like. Before is the result from the first run of SHOW STATUS. After1, After2, etc are the results of running SHOW STATUS after each query in the batch. Finally, the last column is the result of running SHOW STATUS just after the last AfterN column, so you can see how much work SHOW STATUS itself causes. =item * If you specify L<"--verbose">, output includes every variable MySQL Query Profiler measures. If not (default) it only includes variables where there was some difference from one column to the next. =back =head2 NORMAL OUTPUT If you don't specify --tab, you'll get a report formatted for human readability. This is the default output format. MySQL Query Profiler can output a lot of information, as you've seen if you ran the examples in the L<"SYNOPSIS">. What does it all mean? First, there are two basic groups of information you might see: per-query and summary. If your batch contains only one query, these will be the same and you'll only see the summary. You can recognize the difference by looking for centered, all-caps, boxed-in section headers. Externally profiled commands will have EXTERNAL, individually profiled queries will have QUERY, and summary will say SUMMARY. Next, the information in each section is grouped into subsections, headed by an underlined title. Each of these sections has varying information in it. Which sections you see depends on command-line arguments and your MySQL version. I'll explain each section briefly. If you really want to know where the numbers come from, read L. You need to understand which numbers are insulated from other queries and which are not. This depends on your MySQL version. Version 5.0.2 introduced the concept of session status variables, so you can see information about only your own connection. However, many variables aren't session-ized, so when you have MySQL 5.0.2 or greater, you will actually see a mix of session and global variables. That means other queries happening at the same time will pollute some of your results. If you have MySQL versions older than 5.0.2, you won't have ANY connection-specific stats, so your results will be polluted by other queries no matter what. Because of the mixture of session and global variables, by far the best way to profile is on a completely quiet server where nothing else is interfering with your results. While explaining the results in the sections that follow, I'll refer to a value as "protected" if it comes from a session-specific variable and can be relied upon to be accurate even on a busy server. Just keep in mind, if you're not using MySQL 5.0.2 or newer, your results will be inaccurate unless you're running against a totally quiet server, even if I label it as "protected." =head2 Overall stats This section shows the overall elapsed time for the query, as measured by Perl, and the optimizer cost as reported by MySQL. If you're viewing separate query statistics, this is all you'll see. If you're looking at a summary, you'll also see a breakdown of the questions the queries asked the server. The execution time is not totally reliable, as it includes network round-trip time, Perl's own execution time, and so on. However, on a low-latency network, this should be fairly negligible, giving you a reasonable measure of the query's time, especially for queries longer than a few tenths of a second. The optimizer cost comes from the Last_query_cost variable, and is protected from other connections in MySQL 5.0.7 and greater. It is not available before 5.0.1. The total number of questions is not protected, but the breakdown of individual question types is, because it comes from the Com_ status variables. =head2 Table and index accesses This section shows you information about the batch's table and index-level operations (as opposed to row-level operations, which will be in the next section). The "Table locks acquired" and "Temp files" values are unprotected, but everything else in this section is protected. The "Potential filesorts" value is calculated as the number of times a query had both a scan sort (Sort_scan) and created a temporary table (Created_tmp_tables). There is no Sort_filesort or similar status value, so it's a best guess at whether a query did a filesort. It should be fairly accurate. If you specified L<"--allowcache">, you'll see statistics on the query cache. These are unprotected. =head2 Row operations These values are all about the row-level operations your batch caused. For example, how many rows were inserted, updated, or deleted. You'll also see row-level index access statistics, such as how many times the query sought and read the next entry in an index. Depending on your MySQL version, you'll either see one or two columns of information in this section. The one headed "Handler" is all from the Handler_ variables, and those statistics are protected. If your MySQL version supports it, you'll also see a column headed "InnoDB," which is unprotected. =head2 I/O Operations This section gives information on I/O operations your batch caused, both in memory and on disk. Unless you have MySQL 5.0.2 or greater, you'll only see information on the key cache. Otherwise, you'll see a lot of information on InnoDB's I/O operations as well, such as how many times the query was able to satisfy a read from the buffer pool and how many times it had to go to the disk. None of the information in this section is protected. =head2 InnoDB Data Operations This section only appears when you're querying MySQL 5.0.2 or newer. None of the information is protected. You'll see statistics about how many pages were affected, how many operations took place, and how many bytes were affected. =head1 BUGS Please use the Sourceforge bug tracker, forums, and mailing lists to request support or report bugs: L. =head1 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS You need Perl, DBI, DBD::mysql, and some core modules. =head1 SEE ALSO See also L. =head1 LICENSE This program is copyright (c) 2007 Baron Schwartz.
