Hi guys i'm reading query cache code, and i have some doubts... mariadb-10.0.1 source: 1)PROTOCOL_LOCAL: at line: 1412 (Query_cache::store_query) we have this comment: /* PROTOCOL_LOCAL results are not cached. */ what's PROTOCOL_LOCAL ? it's the unix socket? windows pipe? embedded? memcache? mysql? another thing like this? or it's the internal mariadb source running queries? 2)the query_size=0 (MDEV-4516) i was reading at line 1680 if (is_disabled() || thd->locked_tables_mode || thd->variables.query_cache_type == 0) goto err; and line : 1694 DBUG_ASSERT(query_cache_size != 0); // otherwise cache would be disabled why it's isn't used in query_cache_information plugin? *check that in line 1680 it test the "query_cache_type" too, * *in MDEV-4516 report about size=0 we didn't tested this case!!!* 3) i was at line 1886: DBUG_PRINT("qcache", ("\ long %d, 4.1: %d, bin_proto: %d, more results %d, pkt_nr: %d, \ CS client: %u, CS result: %u, CS conn: %u, limit: %lu, TZ: 0x%lx, \ sql mode: 0x%llx, sort len: %lu, conncat len: %lu, div_precision: %lu, \ def_week_frmt: %lu, in_trans: %d, autocommit: %d", is this the "primary key" of the query cache!?!?!?!?!?!?! could we use a sha1 or another "primary key" method (index [] of the query in cache + '';'+ 5 bytes of a hash key to compare if the index still with the same query) to easly show query entry "number", and allow a "delete from query_cache_information where key=xxx" function? at line 1938 we have this maybe the query position on cache ("primary key of query cache")?: DBUG_PRINT("qcache", ("Query have result 0x%lx", (ulong) query)); 4) there's some more ideas about query cache information plugin at MDEV-4571, if anyone could read it =) well that's all =] -- Roberto Spadim
