12.5.5.29. SHOW PROFILES Syntax
This section does not apply to MySQL Enterprise Server users.
SHOW PROFILE [type [, type] ... ]
[FOR QUERY n]
[LIMIT row_count [OFFSET offset]]
type:
ALL
| BLOCK IO
| CONTEXT SWITCHES
| CPU
| IPC
| MEMORY
| PAGE FAULTS
| SOURCE
| SWAPS
The SHOW PROFILES and
SHOW PROFILE statements display
profiling information that indicates resource usage for
statements executed during the course of the current session.
Profiling is controlled by the
profiling session variable,
which has a default value of 0 (OFF).
Profiling is enabled by setting
profiling to 1 or
ON:
mysql> SET profiling = 1;
SHOW PROFILES displays a list of
the most recent statements sent to the master. The size of the
list is controlled by the
profiling_history_size session
variable, which has a default value of 15. The maximum value is
100. Setting the value to 0 has the practical effect of
disabling profiling.
All statements are profiled except SHOW
PROFILES and SHOW
PROFILE, so you will find neither of those statements
in the profile list. Malformed statements are profiled. For
example, SHOW PROFILING is an illegal
statement, and a syntax error occurs if you try to execute it,
but it will show up in the profiling list.
SHOW PROFILE displays detailed
information about a single statement. Without the FOR
QUERY n clause, the output
pertains to the most recently executed statement. If
FOR QUERY n is
included, SHOW PROFILE displays
information for statement n. The
values of n correspond to the
Query_ID values displayed by
SHOW PROFILES.
The LIMIT
row_count clause may be
given to limit the output to
row_count rows. If
LIMIT is given, OFFSET
offset may be added to
begin the output offset rows into the
full set of rows.
By default, SHOW PROFILE displays
Status and Duration
columns. The Status values are like the
State values displayed by
SHOW PROCESSLIST, althought there
might be some minor differences in interpretion for the two
statements for some status values (see
Section 7.5.6, “Examining Thread Information”).
Optional type values may be specified
to display specific additional types of information:
ALL displays all information
BLOCK IO displays counts for block input
and output operations
CONTEXT SWITCHES displays counts for
voluntary and involuntary context switches
CPU displays user and system CPU usage
times
IPC displays counts for messages sent and
received
MEMORY is not currently implemented
PAGE FAULTS displays counts for major and
minor page faults
SOURCE displays the names of functions
from the source code, together with the name and line number
of the file in which the function occurs
SWAPS displays swap counts
Profiling is enabled per session. When a session ends, its
profiling information is lost.

Note
Profiling is only partially functional on some architectures.
For values that depend on the getrusage()
system call, NULL is returned on systems
such as Windows that do not support the call. In addition,
profiling is per process and not per thread. This means that
activity on threads within the server other than your own may
affect the timing information that you see.
SHOW PROFILES and
SHOW PROFILE were added in MySQL
5.0.37.
You can also get profiling information from the
PROFILING table in
INFORMATION_SCHEMA. See
Section 19.17, “The INFORMATION_SCHEMA PROFILING Table”. For example, the following
queries produce the same result:
SHOW PROFILE FOR QUERY 2;
SELECT STATE, FORMAT(DURATION, 6) AS DURATION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROFILING
WHERE QUERY_ID = 2 ORDER BY SEQ;
Important
Please note that the SHOW
PROFILE and SHOW
PROFILES functionality is part of the MySQL 5.0
Community Server only.
