.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP 39
\fBmysql_explain_log [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] < \fR\fB\fIlog_file\fR\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBmysql_explain_log\fR
reads its standard input for query log contents. It uses
EXPLAIN
to analyze
SELECT
statements found in the input.
UPDATE
statements are rewritten to
SELECT
statements and also analyzed with
EXPLAIN.
\fBmysql_explain_log\fR
then displays a summary of its results.
.PP
The results may assist you in determining which queries result in table scans and where it would be beneficial to add indexes to your tables.
.PP
Invoke
\fBmysql_explain_log\fR
like this, where
\fIlog_file\fR
contains all or part of a MySQL query log:
.sp
.RS 3n
.nf
shell> \fBmysql_explain_log [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] < \fR\fB\fIlog_file\fR\fR
