To get all table columns in MySQL, you can use the DESCRIBE
statement or the SHOW COLUMNS
statement.
Using the DESCRIBE
statement:
sqlDESCRIBE table_name;
Replace table_name
with the name of the table you want to get the columns for. This statement will return a table with the columns Field
, Type
, Null
, Key
, Default
, and Extra
.
Using the SHOW COLUMNS
statement:
cssSHOW COLUMNS FROM table_name;
Again, replace table_name
with the name of the table you want to get the columns for. This statement will return a table with the columns Field
, Type
, Null
, Key
, Default
, Extra
, and Privileges
.
Both of these statements will return the same information, but the formatting may be slightly different.
To show all tables with a column named "device", you can use the following SQL query:
sqlSELECT table_name
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE column_name = 'device';
This query uses the information_schema.columns
table, which contains information about all columns in all tables in the current MySQL database. The WHERE
clause limits the results to only include tables that have a column named "device".
The query will return a list of table names that have a column named "device".
No, it is not possible to determine what kind of computer was used to execute a MySQL query.
MySQL is a database management system that is designed to be platform-independent, meaning that it can be installed and run on a wide variety of operating systems and hardware configurations. When a query is executed, MySQL processes the query and returns the result set, but it does not record any information about the specific computer or device that was used to execute the query.
However, it is possible to record other information about the query execution, such as the time the query was executed, the user who executed the query, and the database schema that was accessed. This information can be useful for monitoring and auditing database activity.
Yes, MySQL has a HOST()
function that returns the hostname or IP address of the client that is currently connected to the MySQL server.
The HOST()
function takes no arguments and returns a string that represents the client's hostname or IP address. Here's an example of how to use the HOST()
function:
csharpSELECT HOST();
This will return the hostname or IP address of the client that is currently connected to the MySQL server.
Note that the HOST()
function can only be used when connected to a MySQL server. If you try to use this function outside of a MySQL connection, it will not work.
MySQL provides a few other useful functions that return information about the client that is currently connected to the MySQL server. Here are a few examples:
CURRENT_USER()
- This function returns the username and host name of the MySQL account that the client used to connect to the server. For example, the function might return something likeuser@localhost
.USER()
- This function returns the username that the client used to connect to the MySQL server.SESSION_USER()
- This function returns the username of the MySQL account that the client used to connect to the server, without the host name. For example, the function might return something likeuser
.SYSTEM_USER()
- This function returns the operating system user name of the client that is currently connected to the MySQL server.
These functions can be useful in a variety of situations, such as when you need to log or audit database activity, or when you need to customize the behavior of a query or stored procedure based on the identity of the client.

This script sets the necessary variables for connecting to the MySQL server, and then runs a query that retrieves various server variables and status information. The script runs the query repeatedly in a loop, and waits for five seconds between each run. If an error occurs while running the query, the script prompts the user to continue.
You can customize this script as needed to fit your specific monitoring needs. Note that this script requires the MySQL command-line client to be installed on the system where it is run.
This monitoring batch script connects to a MySQL server and retrieves various server variables and status information using a SELECT statement. The script runs this query repeatedly in a loop, waiting for five seconds between each run, to provide continuous monitoring of the server.
The server variables and status information retrieved by the SELECT statement includes details such as the current time, server version, maximum number of connections, buffer pool size, query cache size, and many other variables related to server performance and behavior.
If an error occurs while running the query, the script displays an error message and prompts the user to continue. This can be useful for detecting and responding to issues with the MySQL server in a timely manner.
Overall, this script provides a simple and customizable way to monitor the health and performance of a MySQL server using the command line.
This error message indicates that there is a syntax error in the SQL statement used in the script, specifically at or near the "Current_Time" field in the SELECT statement.
One possible reason for this error is that the column alias "Current_Time" is not recognized by the MySQL server. In MySQL, the function for getting the current time is usually called "NOW()" instead of "Current_Time". Try changing the "Current_Time" field to "NOW()" in the SELECT statement to see if this resolves the issue.
Another possible reason for this error is that there is a missing or extra punctuation mark, such as a comma or a semicolon, in the SELECT statement. Double-check the syntax of the entire SELECT statement to ensure that it is correct and complete.
It's also worth noting that the syntax for accessing some of the server variables used in the script may differ depending on the version of MySQL that you are using. Be sure to check the MySQL documentation for the specific version of the server you are running to ensure that the syntax for accessing server variables is correct.
Certainly! Here is an updated version of the script with the syntax error fixed:
bash@echo off

This script connects to a MySQL server and retrieves the current time, server version, maximum connections, buffer pool size, and query cache size using a SELECT statement. It then displays the results on the command line and waits for 5 seconds before repeating the process.
Please make sure to update the variables MYSQL_HOST
, MYSQL_PORT
, MYSQL_USER
, and MYSQL_PASSWORD
to match your MySQL server configuration before running the script.
It looks like your batch output is not formatted properly. Here is a reworked version of the script that should output the data in a better format:

In this updated script, I've modified some of the MySQL variables to display the size in a more human-readable format. For instance, instead of showing the size of the InnoDB buffer pool in bytes, it's now shown in gigabytes. Similarly, the Key Buffer Size, Query Cache Size, Max Allowed Packet, Max Heap Table Size, Tmp Table Size, Join Buffer Size, Max Binlog Size, Binlog Cache Size, and Binlog Stmt Cache Size are now shown in megabytes.
I've also changed the display format of the Thread Stack variable to show the size in kilobytes.
With these changes, the output columns should be more readable and easier to understand.
To improve the readability of the output, you can consider using a pipe (|
) character to separate the columns and then redirecting the output to a file. Here's an example code that you can use:
bash@echo off
set MYSQL_USER=bridgeaccess@bridgeaccessfinancinginc

In this code, I have added a sed
command after the query to replace the tabs (\t
) with pipe (|

To set up transactional backups in MySQL, you can use the MySQL Enterprise Backup tool. This tool is a commercial product from Oracle that provides advanced backup and recovery capabilities for MySQL databases.
Here are the basic steps to set up transactional backups using MySQL Enterprise Backup:
Install the MySQL Enterprise Backup tool on your MySQL server.
Create a backup user account in MySQL that has the required privileges to perform backups. For example, the user should have the RELOAD and BACKUP_ADMIN privileges.
Create a backup configuration file that specifies the backup options and settings. For example, you can specify the backup type (full or incremental), the backup destination, and the encryption options.
Run the MySQL Enterprise Backup tool to perform the backup. You can run the tool manually or schedule it to run at specific intervals.
Verify the backup by restoring it to a test server or environment.
Monitor the backups and perform periodic tests to ensure that the backups are working correctly.
Note that MySQL Enterprise Backup is a commercial product that requires a license from Oracle. If you are using the open-source version of MySQL, you can use other backup tools like mysqldump or Percona XtraBackup. However, these tools may not provide the same level of functionality and performance as MySQL Enterprise Backup.
To set up transactional backups in MySQL without using the MySQL Enterprise Backup tool, you can use the following steps:
Create a backup user account with the necessary privileges to access the databases and tables that need to be backed up.
Install and configure the XtraBackup utility from Percona, which is a free, open-source tool that can perform hot backups of InnoDB and XtraDB databases.
Create a backup script that uses the XtraBackup utility to perform the backup. This script should include commands to stop the database server, start the backup, and then restart the database server after the backup is complete.
Schedule the backup script to run regularly using a task scheduler or cron job.
Here is an example of a backup script that uses the XtraBackup utility:
bash#!/bin/bash
# Stop the database server
service mysql stop
# Perform the backup
xtrabackup --backup --target-dir=/path/to/backup/directory
# Start the database server
service mysql start
You can modify this script to include additional options and parameters, such as compression, incremental backups, and encryption.
Note that while XtraBackup can perform hot backups of InnoDB and XtraDB databases, it does not support MyISAM tables. If your database contains MyISAM tables, you will need to use a different backup method for those tables.
To set up transactional backups in MySQL without using the MySQL Enterprise Backup tool on Windows and a batch script, you can use a combination of mysqldump and the mysqlbinlog utility to create backups that include both data and transaction logs. Here are the general steps to follow:
Set up a backup directory to store the backup files. You can create a new directory or use an existing one.
Create a batch script to automate the backup process. Open a text editor and create a new file with a .bat file extension.
In the batch script, include commands to create a MySQL dump file of the database and to create a binary log file. The following commands can be used:
sql@echo off
setlocal
set BACKUP_DIR=C:\backup
set DB_NAME=mydatabase
set DB_USER=myuser
set DB_PASSWORD=mypassword
set TIMESTAMP=%DATE:/=-%_%TIME::=-%
set TIMESTAMP=%TIMESTAMP:.=-%
set DUMP_FILE=%BACKUP_DIR%\%DB_NAME%_%TIMESTAMP%.sql
set BINLOG_FILE=%BACKUP_DIR%\binlog_%TIMESTAMP%.bin
mysqldump -u %DB_USER% -p%DB_PASSWORD% --databases %DB_NAME% --single-transaction --flush-logs --master-data=2 > %DUMP_FILE%
mysqlbinlog %BINLOG_FILE% > %BACKUP_DIR%\binlog_%TIMESTAMP%.sql
This batch script creates a dump file of the specified database and a binary log file. The --single-transaction
option ensures that the backup is a consistent snapshot of the database at a single point in time. The --flush-logs
option flushes the logs before the dump, ensuring that the binary log file includes all transactions up to that point. The --master-data=2
option includes the binary log filename and position in the dump file, allowing for point-in-time recovery.
Save the batch script and run it. This will create a backup of the specified database in the backup directory.
Schedule the batch script to run at regular intervals using Windows Task Scheduler to automate the backup process.
Note: This method has some limitations, such as longer recovery time, lower performance, and no support for incremental backups. It is recommended to use a more robust backup solution, such as MySQL Enterprise Backup, for production environments.
One optimization that could be done is to replace the subquery with a join to improve performance. Here's the modified query:
goSELECT DISTINCT
`t1`.`id` AS `id`,
`t1`.`fname` AS `fname`,
`t1`.`mname` AS `mname`,

FROM `bridge_account_test`
) AS `t4` ON (`t1`.`id` = `t4`.`id`)
WHERE `t4`.`id` IS NULL;
This query replaces the subquery with a join to bridge_account_test
. By using a join, we avoid having to execute the subquery for each row in the main query. Instead, we can create a derived table (t4
) that contains the results of the subquery and join to it.
This should result in better performance, especially if the bridge_account_test
table is large. Additionally, we've removed the use of the NOT IN
operator which can be slow on large tables.
Yes, there are several ways to improve the performance of this query:
Avoid using subqueries in the
WHERE
clause: Instead of using a subquery to exclude certainid
s from the result set, consider using aLEFT JOIN
to join thebridge_account_test
table and exclude the matching rows in theON
clause.Use
INNER JOIN
instead ofLEFT JOIN
: If you only want to return rows where there is a match in all three tables, useINNER JOIN
instead ofLEFT JOIN
.Avoid using
DISTINCT
if possible: If the result set is already unique, there is no need to useDISTINCT
.
Here is the optimized query:
sqlSELECT
t1.id AS id,
t1.fname AS fname,
t1.mname AS mname,
t1.lname AS lname,
t1.email AS email,
t3.id AS company_id,
t3.name AS company,
(CASE WHEN t1.user_role = 4 THEN 'Premium' ELSE 'Basic' END) AS account_type,
t2.employment_status AS employment_status_id,
(CASE WHEN t2.employment_status = 2 THEN 'Resigned' ELSE 'Not Resigned' END) AS employment_status,
(CASE WHEN t1.deleted = 1 THEN 'Account Deleted' ELSE 'Not Deleted' END) AS account_status,
t2.date_resigned AS date_resigned,
t1.date_created AS date_created
FROM bridge_account t1
INNER JOIN bridge_employment_details t2 ON t1.id = t2.account_id
INNER JOIN bridge_company t3 ON t1.company_id = t3.id
LEFT JOIN bridge_account_test t4 ON t1.id = t4.id
WHERE t4.id IS NULL;
This query avoids using subqueries, uses INNER JOIN
instead of LEFT JOIN
, and removes the DISTINCT
keyword.
Sure! Here's an example of how you could rename the tables to a more descriptive naming convention:
sqlSELECT DISTINCT
a.id AS account_id,
a.fname AS first_name,
a.mname AS middle_name,
a.lname AS last_name,
a.email AS email_address,
c.id AS company_id,
c.name AS company_name,
(CASE WHEN a.user_role = 4 THEN 'Premium' ELSE 'Basic' END) AS account_type,
ed.employment_status AS employment_status,
(CASE WHEN ed.employment_status = 2 THEN 'Resigned' ELSE 'Not Resigned' END) AS employment_status_description,
(CASE WHEN a.deleted = 1 THEN 'Account Deleted' ELSE 'Not Deleted' END) AS account_status,
ed.date_resigned AS date_resigned,
a.date_created AS date_created
FROM
bridge_account AS a
LEFT JOIN bridge_employment_details AS ed ON a.id = ed.account_id
LEFT JOIN bridge_company AS c ON a.company_id = c.id
WHERE
a.id NOT IN (
SELECT id FROM bridge_account_test
)
I changed the aliases to more descriptive names based on the table names:
t1
->a
(forbridge_account
)t2
->ed
(forbridge_employment_details
)t3
->c
(forbridge_company
)
This should make it easier to understand the query and maintain it in the future.
To create an event scheduler in MySQL 5.7 that kills processes that have a maximum wait time of 500 seconds every day, you can follow these steps:
- Open your MySQL command-line client or any MySQL client of your choice.
- Make sure you have the necessary privileges to create an event. To do this, execute the following command:
vbnetGRANT EVENT ON *.* TO 'your_user'@'localhost';
Replace 'your_user' with your actual username.
- Create the event. The following is an example event that runs every day at 01:00 AM and kills processes that have a maximum wait time of 500 seconds:
sqlCREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY
STARTS '2023-04-04 01:00:00'
DO
BEGIN
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id,';') SEPARATOR ' ')
INTO @kill_query
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND <> 'Sleep' AND TIME > 500;
IF @kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
PREPARE stmt FROM @kill_query;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END IF;
END;
In this event, the ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY
clause specifies that the event should run every day. The STARTS
clause specifies the start time of the event.
The event body first selects all queries that have a COMMAND
other than 'Sleep' and a TIME
greater than 500 seconds from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
table. It then concatenates the KILL QUERY
statement with the id
of each query into a single string variable named @kill_query
.
If @kill_query
is not NULL
, the event then prepares and executes the concatenated KILL QUERY
statements.
- Save the event by executing the following command:
vbnetSET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;
This enables the global event scheduler. You only need to run this once.
With these steps, you now have an event scheduler in MySQL 5.7 that kills processes that have a maximum wait time of 500 seconds every day.
The query seems to be correct, but it can be improved in terms of error handling and logging. Here's a revised version of the query:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT `kill_long_queries`
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY
STARTS '2023-04-04 01:00:00'
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
DECLARE kill_query TEXT;
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION BEGIN END;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('KILL QUERY ', id, ';') SEPARATOR ' ') INTO kill_query
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND <> 'Sleep' AND TIME > 500;
IF kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
SET @stmt = CONCAT('PREPARE stmt FROM "', kill_query, '"');
PREPARE stmt FROM @stmt;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END IF;
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name) VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Here are the changes that were made:
- Added the
DELIMITER
statements to prevent syntax errors. - Added the
DECLARE
statement to initialize thekill_query
variable and avoid issues with uninitialized variables. - Added an empty
BEGIN END
block as theEXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
to prevent the event from stopping if an error occurs. - Enclosed the query in double-quotes to avoid syntax errors in the
SET @stmt
statement. - Added the
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
clause to ensure that the event is not dropped after completion. - Used the
$$
delimiter to avoid conflicts with the;
delimiter inside the event definition. - Changed the
insert
statement to use double quotes for string literals and added a space before theVALUES
keyword for readability.
Here's the revised query to run the event every hour:
sqlCREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 HOUR
STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id,';') SEPARATOR ' ')
INTO @kill_query
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND <> 'Sleep' AND TIME > 500;
IF @kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
PREPARE stmt FROM @kill_query;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END IF;
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name) VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END;
This event will run every hour starting from the current timestamp and will preserve its status after completion.
Here's the revised code to make the event run every 30 minutes:
sqlCREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 30 MINUTE
STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id,';') SEPARATOR ' ')
INTO @kill_query
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND <> 'Sleep' AND TIME > 500;
IF @kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
PREPARE stmt FROM @kill_query;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END IF;
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name)
VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END;
This will schedule the event to run every 30 minutes, starting from the current timestamp. Additionally, I added the ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
clause to make sure that the event is not dropped after it completes.
To select all event schedulers in MySQL, you can use the following query:
sqlSELECT * FROM information_schema.events;
This will show you all the events in your MySQL server, including their name, status, schedule, start time, end time, and other details.
Your code looks good overall, but there are a few ways to optimize it:
Add an index to the
USER
column in theINFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
table to improve the query performance.Use a stored procedure to handle the kill queries instead of dynamic SQL, which can improve the security and maintainability of the code.
Move the
INSERT INTO
statement outside of theIF
block to ensure it is always executed.
Here's the revised code incorporating these optimizations:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 30 MINUTE
STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
DECLARE kill_query VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND = 'Sleep' AND TIME > 350 and USER not in ('event_scheduler','azure_superuser');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN cur;
read_loop: LOOP
FETCH cur INTO kill_query;
IF done THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
SET @sql = kill_query;
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name)
VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;
To drop an event scheduler in MySQL, you can use the following syntax:
sqlDROP EVENT [IF EXISTS] event_name;
Replace event_name
with the name of the event scheduler you want to drop. The IF EXISTS
clause is optional and will prevent an error if the event scheduler doesn't exist.
Here's an example of dropping an event scheduler named my_event
:
sqlDROP EVENT IF EXISTS my_event;
Your code looks good and optimized. Using a cursor is a good way to iterate over the result set returned by the query to kill the long-running queries.
One minor optimization that you can make is to move the INSERT
statement at the end of the event code to reduce the time it takes to execute the event. By doing this, the event will kill the queries first before inserting into the access_reports.event_table
.
Here's the optimized code:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 30 MINUTE
STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
DECLARE kill_query VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND = 'Sleep' AND TIME > 350 and USER not in ('event_scheduler','azure_superuser');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN cur;
read_loop: LOOP
FETCH cur INTO kill_query;
IF done THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
SET @sql = kill_query;
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name)
VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END$$
DELIMITER ;
This way, the event will first kill all the long-running queries and then insert the event into the table, which would be faster.
Yes, the event query includes an INSERT INTO
statement that inserts a row into the access_reports.event_table
table every time the event is run. The INSERT INTO
statement is located before the cursor loop, so it will be executed regardless of whether any queries are killed. If you want to insert a row into the access_reports.event_table
table only when queries are actually killed, you can move the INSERT INTO
statement inside the IF
block, just after the DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
line.
Certainly! Here's the updated code with the INSERT INTO
statement moved inside the IF
block:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 30 MINUTE
STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
DECLARE kill_query VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND = 'Sleep' AND TIME > 350 and USER not in ('event_scheduler','azure_superuser');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN cur;
read_loop: LOOP
FETCH cur INTO kill_query;
IF done THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
SET @sql = kill_query;
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
IF kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name)
VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;
Now, the INSERT INTO
statement will only be executed if the kill_query
variable is not NULL
, which means that at least one query has been found and killed.
Here's the modified code to start the event at 4:30 PM:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT kill_long_queries
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 30 MINUTE
STARTS CONCAT(CURRENT_DATE, ' 16:30:00')
ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
DO
BEGIN
DECLARE kill_query VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND = 'Sleep' AND TIME > 350 and USER not in ('event_scheduler','azure_superuser');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN cur;
read_loop: LOOP
FETCH cur INTO kill_query;
IF done THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
SET @sql = kill_query;
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
IF kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name)
VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;
This will start the event at 4:30 PM every day.
Sure! Here's the code for a stored procedure that performs the same task as the event scheduler:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE kill_long_queries()
BEGIN
DECLARE kill_query VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT CONCAT('KILL QUERY ',id)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
WHERE COMMAND = 'Sleep' AND TIME > 350 and USER not in ('event_scheduler','azure_superuser');
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN cur;
read_loop: LOOP
FETCH cur INTO kill_query;
IF done THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
SET @sql = kill_query;
PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
IF kill_query IS NOT NULL THEN
INSERT INTO access_reports.event_table (date, event_name)
VALUES (NOW(), 'kill_long_queries');
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
You can then execute the stored procedure using the following command:
csharpCALL kill_long_queries();
Note that you'll need to create the access_reports.event_table
table separately if you haven't already done so.
This code creates a MySQL event that runs every 30 minutes and kills all sleeping queries that have been running for more than 350 seconds (i.e., 5 minutes and 50 seconds). The queries that are excluded from being killed are those that are being run by the event scheduler and the azure_superuser user.
The code first declares some variables, including a cursor that selects the sleeping queries to kill. It then opens the cursor and loops through each query, prepares and executes the query to kill it, and deallocates the prepared statement.
Finally, after closing the cursor, the code inserts a record into a table named access_reports.event_table
with the current date and the event name 'kill_long_queries', to keep track of when the event ran.
The DELIMITER $$
statement is used to change the delimiter used to separate statements within the code to $$
, since the code contains semicolons (;) within the event definition. The delimiter is changed back to a semicolon at the end of the code with DELIMITER ;
.
A cursor is a database object used to retrieve data from a result set in a row-by-row manner. In the context of the code you provided, the cursor is declared using a SELECT statement that fetches information about all currently running MySQL queries that have been in a "Sleep" state for more than 350 seconds, and whose user is not "event_scheduler" or "azure_superuser".
After the cursor is declared, the code defines a handler that will be triggered when there are no more rows to fetch from the cursor. The handler sets the "done" variable to TRUE to signal the end of the loop.
The cursor is then opened and a loop is initiated using the "read_loop" label. Within the loop, the FETCH statement retrieves the next row from the cursor and assigns it to the "kill_query" variable. If there are no more rows to fetch, the IF statement with the "done" variable checks if the loop should be exited using the "LEAVE" statement.
The "SET @sql = kill_query" statement assigns the value of the "kill_query" variable to a user-defined variable "@sql". This variable is then used to prepare and execute a SQL statement that will kill the MySQL query associated with the current row.
Once all the rows have been processed, the cursor is closed and an INSERT statement is executed to record the execution of the event in a table named "access_reports.event_table".
Overall, the cursor and loop work together to iterate over the result set of the SELECT statement, processing each row and executing a corresponding "KILL QUERY" statement to end long-running MySQL queries. The "INSERT" statement at the end records the execution of the event in a separate table for tracking and auditing purposes.
Sure, here's an example trigger for bridge_access_user_roles
table that logs any insert, update, or delete operations into a separate access_logs
table:
sqlCREATE TRIGGER tr_bridge_access_user_roles_log
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
ON bridge_access_user_roles
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE operation VARCHAR(10);
IF (OLD.id IS NULL) THEN
SET operation = 'INSERT';
ELSEIF (NEW.deleted = 1) THEN
SET operation = 'DELETE';
ELSE
SET operation = 'UPDATE';
END IF;
INSERT INTO access_logs (table_name, row_id, operation, date_created)
VALUES ('bridge_access_user_roles', NEW.id, operation, NOW());
END;
The trigger will execute after each insert, update, or delete operation on the bridge_access_user_roles
table. It checks if the id
field is NULL
to determine whether it's an insert operation, or if the deleted
field is set to 1
to determine if it's a delete operation. If neither condition is met, it's an update operation.
It then inserts a new row into the access_logs
table with the name of the affected table, the id of the affected row, the operation that was performed, and the current date and time.
Sure! Here's the trigger that you can use:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER bridge_access_user_roles_log
AFTER DELETE OR UPDATE OR INSERT ON bridge_access_user_roles
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE action_type VARCHAR(10);
IF (OLD.id IS NOT NULL AND NEW.id IS NULL) THEN
SET action_type = 'DELETE';
ELSEIF (OLD.id IS NULL AND NEW.id IS NOT NULL) THEN
SET action_type = 'INSERT';
ELSE
SET action_type = 'UPDATE';
END IF;
INSERT INTO bridge_access_user_roles_hist (action_user, change_date, action, id, admin_id, user_role, date_created, date_modified, deleted)
VALUES (USER(), NOW(), action_type, OLD.id, OLD.admin_id, OLD.user_role, OLD.date_created, OLD.date_modified, OLD.deleted);
IF (action_type = 'UPDATE' OR action_type = 'INSERT') THEN
SET @last_insert_id = LAST_INSERT_ID();
INSERT INTO bridge_access_user_roles_hist (action_user, change_date, action, id, admin_id, user_role, date_created, date_modified, deleted)
VALUES (USER(), NOW(), action_type, NEW.id, NEW.admin_id, NEW.user_role, NEW.date_created, NEW.date_modified, NEW.deleted);
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
The trigger creates a log entry in the bridge_access_user_roles_hist
table for each delete, update, or insert operation that occurs on the bridge_access_user_roles
table. It stores the old and new data in the log table so you can keep track of changes over time.
The trigger uses the OLD
and NEW
keywords to reference the values of the columns before and after the operation, respectively. It then checks whether the operation was a delete, insert, or update, and inserts a log entry accordingly.
The action_user
column in the log table stores the username of the user who initiated the change. The change_date
column stores the timestamp of when the change occurred. The action
column stores the type of action (delete, insert, or update).
It seems like there is an error in the trigger statement. Please try the following code instead:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER bridge_access_user_roles_trigger
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON bridge_access_user_roles
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE action_type VARCHAR(10);

VALUES (USER(), NOW(), action_type, OLD.id, OLD.admin_id, OLD.user_role, OLD.date_created, OLD.date_modified, OLD.deleted);
END$$
DELIMITER ;
This trigger will log the old data of each record in bridge_access_user_roles
table whenever there is an insert, update or delete action performed on that table. The logged data is inserted into the bridge_access_user_roles_hist

Sorry, I made a mistake in the syntax. Here's the corrected trigger code:
sqlDELIMITER $$

DELIMITER ;
This trigger will insert a new row into the bridge_access_user_roles_hist
table every time there is an INSERT
, UPDATE
, or DELETE
operation on the bridge_access_user_roles
table. The action_user
column will contain the name of the user who performed the action, change_date
will contain the current timestamp, action
will indicate whether the action was an INSERT
, UPDATE
, or DELETE
, and the remaining columns will contain the old or new values of the corresponding row.
It seems there is still an error in the trigger syntax. Here's an updated version:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER bridge_access_user_roles_audit
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON bridge_access_user_roles

This trigger will insert a new record into the bridge_access_user_roles_hist
table for each insert, update, or delete operation on the bridge_access_user_roles
table, with information about the action, user, date, and old and new data.
Sure, here's the corrected trigger code with the correct syntax:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER bridge_access_user_roles_log
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON bridge_access_user_roles
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE action_type CHAR(1);

This trigger will log changes made to the bridge_access_user_roles
table in the bridge_access_user_roles_hist
table, including the action type (I
for insert, U
for update, and D
for delete), the user who made the change, the date of the change, and both the old and new data for the row being changed.
Your trigger code looks fine, and it does what you need to achieve. However, you can simplify your trigger code by combining the insert, update, and delete trigger into one trigger by using the IF
statement to check which action is being performed (insert, update, or delete).
Here's an example of how you can combine your triggers into one:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER bridge_access_user_roles_after_change
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON bridge_access_user_roles
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF (INSERTING) THEN
INSERT INTO bridge_access_user_roles_hist (action_user, change_date, action, id, admin_id, user_role, date_created, date_modified, deleted)
VALUES (USER(), NOW(), 'Insert', NEW.id, NEW.admin_id, NEW.user_role, NEW.date_created, NEW.date_modified, NEW.deleted);
ELSEIF (UPDATING) THEN
INSERT INTO bridge_access_user_roles_hist (action_user, change_date, action, id, admin_id, user_role, date_created, date_modified, deleted)
VALUES (USER(), NOW(), 'Update', old.id, old.admin_id, old.user_role, old.date_created, old.date_modified, old.deleted);
ELSEIF (DELETING) THEN
INSERT INTO bridge_access_user_roles_hist (action_user, change_date, action, id, admin_id, user_role, date_created, date_modified)
VALUES (USER(), NOW(), 'Delete', OLD.id , OLD.admin_id , OLD.user_role , OLD.date_created , OLD.date_modified);
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
By using this approach, you will have only one trigger to maintain instead of three.
Yes, the trigger should be valid for MySQL 5.7. The syntax used in the trigger is supported in MySQL 5.7, and there are no features used that are specific to newer versions of MySQL.
You are correct, my apologies for the mistake. In MySQL, you cannot specify multiple triggers using OR
. Instead, you need to create separate triggers for each event (INSERT
, UPDATE
, and DELETE
). Here is the corrected version of the triggers:
sqlDELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER bridge_access_user_roles_after_insert
AFTER INSERT ON bridge_access_user_roles
