I don't understand why you need both the <explain> xml style tag and the double # to denote an explain entry. I would prefer to see each line prefixed with # explain: to make it similar to the other info lines above and get rid of the <explain>. By prefixing each line with # explain: it makes grepping explain plans easier than looking for a start and end tag on different lines.

Hello,
After recent changes in the [SHOW] EXPLAIN architecture in MariaDB, it became really easy to add an option to print EXPLAIN(*) output into the slow query log, so I went ahead and implemented it.
@@log_slow_verbosity has got a 'explain' flag, and if it is on, the slow query log entries look like this:
# Time: 131017 21:26:02 # User@Host: root[root] @ localhost [] # Thread_id: 2 Schema: dbt3sf1 QC_hit: No # Query_time: 5.535819 Lock_time: 0.000350 Rows_sent: 1 Rows_examined: 65633 ## <explain> ## id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra ## 1 SIMPLE nation ref PRIMARY,n_name n_name 26 const 1 Using where; Using index ## 1 SIMPLE customer ref PRIMARY,i_c_nationkey i_c_nationkey 5 dbt3sf1.nation.n_nationkey 25124 Using index ## 1 SIMPLE orders ref i_o_custkey i_o_custkey 5 dbt3sf1.customer.c_custkey 7 Using index ## </explain> SET timestamp=1382030762; select count(*) from customer, orders, nation where c_custkey=o_custkey and c_nationkey=n_nationkey and n_name='GERMANY';
It seems, pt-slow-query-log has no problem parsing this.
Open questions:
- Is this syntax OK?
Yes, assuming you use tabs as column separators, not spaces.
- Currently, some statements (like SHOW KEYS) print a dumb explain that shows that full table scan is used. There is a suggestion to not print EXPLAIN for any SHOW statements. Is this ok?
Yes. If users will complain we can always change it back later.
Regards, Sergei
