[Maria-discuss] explain for insert/update/delete
by MARK CALLAGHAN 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Does MariaDB have any plans to support explain for insert/update/delete/replace/CTAS? There have been feature requests open for a very long time on official MySQL without any progress. I have had a few problems in production from 'bad' delete statements that had a very different plan than the select statement with the same where clause. The only way to check for a bad plan today is to use SHOW INNODB STATUS to determine whether the statement locks all rows in a table. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=14745 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=35355 -- Mark Callaghan mdcallag(a)gmail.com

[Maria-discuss] Creating a trigger on information_schema.processlist
by Gordan Bobic 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

A long standing annoyance has been that stored procedures are opaque when it comes to profiling them with more granularity than just the entire procedure. SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST shows the individual queries while they are running, but polling SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST or SELECT * FROM information_schema.PROCESSLIST is not a practical solution because you can only poll it so many times per second without crippling the server. So I had the idea to hook triggers to information_schema.PROCESSLIST to capture the changes to the INFO column and shunt them into mysql.slow_log. But MariaDB informs them that root isn't privileged enough to crate a trigger in information_schema. Is there another way to augment slow logging granularity of queries that execute as part of the stored procedure?
