Recent days, I should do a sql tuning for a mysql database, and I know a bit of mysql db. In order to find the slow sql, i do the slow_query_log on to collect the slow sql.
mysql> show variables like 'slow%';
+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| slow_launch_time | 2 |
| slow_query_log | ON |
| slow_query_log_file | /opt/mysql_data/mysql/mysql-test-slow.log |
+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> set global slow_launch_time=5;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> show variables like 'slow%';
+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| slow_launch_time | 5 |
| slow_query_log | ON |
| slow_query_log_file | /opt/mysql_data/mysql/mysql-test-slow.log |
+---------------------+-------------------------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
We can read /opt/mysql_data/mysql/mysql-test-slow.log to find slow sql.
