Log QUERIES not using INDEX - MySQL - mysql

I'm using MySQL Server version: 5.5.8-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)
I want to log queries which are not using INDEX and is slow too !
I'm copying here my my.ini settings.
[mysqld]
port=3306
log = "E:/wamp/logs/genquery.log"
log_slow_queries
long_query_time = 1
slow_query_log = 1
slow_query_log_file = "E:/wamp/logs/slowquery.log"
what change i need to do ?

log_queries_not_using_indexes =1 //(or Yes) (From mysql)

Maybe useful for Linux user. (Testet: Ubuntu 16.04)
Get root in terminal and edit mysql configuration
su
vim /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf
[mysqld]
slow_query_log=1
slow_query_log_file=/var/log/mysql/slow-query.log
long_query_time=1
log_queries_not_using_indexes=1
Add log file and restart mysql server
touch /var/log/mysql/slow-query.log
chown mysql:adm /var/log/mysql/slow-query.log
chmod 640 slow-query.log
service mysql restart
Test slow logging with SQL queries
/* Activate query log - Maybe useful to show errors (not necessary) */
SET GLOBAL SLOW_QUERY_LOG=ON;
/* Check if slow query log is working */
SELECT SLEEP(2);

log_queries_not_using_indexes
Command-Line Format --log-queries-not-using-indexes
Option-File Format log-queries-not-using-indexes
Option Sets Variable Yes, log_queries_not_using_indexes
Variable Name log_queries_not_using_indexes
Variable Scope Global
Dynamic Variable Yes
Permitted Values
Type boolean
Whether queries that do not use indexes are logged to the slow query log. See Section 5.2.4,

In addition to a1ex07's answer you can use the shell command mk-query-digest to output a report of your running queries without using the log.
See the full methodology: http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2009/08/18/how-to-find-un-indexed-queries-in-mysql-without-using-the-log/
As mentioned in the article it is also possible to group the queries by tables doing --group-by tables --report-format profile
Useful to fast detect unindexed queries.

MySQL slow queries aren't logged

In my CentOS machine I use MySQL 5.5.30. (I rented server two days ago and I'm newbie in Linux commands)
I'm trying to check for slow MySQL queries. So I made this from phpMyAdmin
SET GLOBAL log_slow_queries = ON;
SET GLOBAL slow_launch_time = 1;
FLUSH LOGS;
And in default configuration slow query log file variable is /var/lib/mysql/srv1-slow.log
But when I check /var/ folder with FTP, there exists only /var/tmp/ folder. which is empty. What should I do more to see slow queries log?
Note: I tried to create /var/lib folder but system didn't let me.
Add following lines in /etc/my.cnf and restart mysql:
Notes: In my case MySQL version is 5.0.x
[mysqld]
log-slow-queries = /var/lib/mysql/sev1-slow.log
long_query_time = 1
In MySQL 5.5 version
[mysqld]
slow_query_log_file= = /var/lib/mysql/sev1-slow.log
long_query_time = 1
slow_query_log = 1
You must create the file manually and change owners this way:
mkdir /var/lib/mysql
touch /var/lib/mysql/sev1-slow.log
chown mysql.mysql -R /var/lib/mysql

ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away

I get this error when I try to source a large SQL file (a big INSERT query).
mysql> source file.sql
ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away
No connection. Trying to reconnect...
Connection id: 2
Current database: *** NONE ***
ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away
No connection. Trying to reconnect...
Connection id: 3
Current database: *** NONE ***
Nothing in the table is updated. I've tried deleting and undeleting the table/database, as well as restarting MySQL. None of these things resolve the problem.
Here is my max-packet size:
+--------------------+---------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------+---------+
| max_allowed_packet | 1048576 |
+--------------------+---------+
Here is the file size:
$ ls -s file.sql
79512 file.sql
When I try the other method...
$ ./mysql -u root -p my_db < file.sql
Enter password:
ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 1: MySQL server has gone away
max_allowed_packet=64M
Adding this line into my.cnf file solves my problem.
This is useful when the columns have large values, which cause the issues, you can find the explanation here.
On Windows this file is located at: "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.6"
On Linux (Ubuntu): /etc/mysql
You can increase Max Allowed Packet
SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=1073741824;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_allowed_packet
The global update and the my.cnf settings didn't work for me for some reason. Passing the max_allowed_packet value directly to the client worked here:
mysql -h <hostname> -u username -p --max_allowed_packet=1073741824 <databasename> < db.sql
In general the error:
Error: 2006 (CR_SERVER_GONE_ERROR) - MySQL server has gone away
means that the client couldn't send a question to the server.
mysql import
In your specific case while importing the database file via mysql, this most likely mean that some of the queries in the SQL file are too large to import and they couldn't be executed on the server, therefore client fails on the first occurred error.
So you've the following possibilities:
Add force option (-f) for mysql to proceed and execute rest of the queries.
This is useful if the database has some large queries related to cache which aren't relevant anyway.
Increase max_allowed_packet and wait_timeout in your server config (e.g. ~/.my.cnf).
Dump the database using --skip-extended-insert option to break down the large queries. Then import it again.
Try applying --max-allowed-packet option for mysql.
Common reasons
In general this error could mean several things, such as:
a query to the server is incorrect or too large,
Solution: Increase max_allowed_packet variable.
Make sure the variable is under [mysqld] section, not [mysql].
Don't afraid to use large numbers for testing (like 1G).
Don't forget to restart the MySQL/MariaDB server.
Double check the value was set properly by:
mysql -sve "SELECT ##max_allowed_packet" # or:
mysql -sve "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet'"
You got a timeout from the TCP/IP connection on the client side.
Solution: Increase wait_timeout variable.
You tried to run a query after the connection to the server has been closed.
Solution: A logic error in the application should be corrected.
Host name lookups failed (e.g. DNS server issue), or server has been started with --skip-networking option.
Another possibility is that your firewall blocks the MySQL port (e.g. 3306 by default).
The running thread has been killed, so retry again.
You have encountered a bug where the server died while executing the query.
A client running on a different host does not have the necessary privileges to connect.
And many more, so learn more at: B.5.2.9 MySQL server has gone away.
Debugging
Here are few expert-level debug ideas:
Check the logs, e.g.
sudo tail -f $(mysql -Nse "SELECT ##GLOBAL.log_error")
Test your connection via mysql, telnet or ping functions (e.g. mysql_ping in PHP).
Use tcpdump to sniff the MySQL communication (won't work for socket connection), e.g.:
sudo tcpdump -i lo0 -s 1500 -nl -w- port mysql | strings
On Linux, use strace. On BSD/Mac use dtrace/dtruss, e.g.
sudo dtruss -a -fn mysqld 2>&1
See: Getting started with DTracing MySQL
Learn more how to debug MySQL server or client at: 26.5 Debugging and Porting MySQL.
For reference, check the source code in sql-common/client.c file responsible for throwing the CR_SERVER_GONE_ERROR error for the client command.
MYSQL_TRACE(SEND_COMMAND, mysql, (command, header_length, arg_length, header, arg));
if (net_write_command(net,(uchar) command, header, header_length,
arg, arg_length))
{
set_mysql_error(mysql, CR_SERVER_GONE_ERROR, unknown_sqlstate);
goto end;
}
I solved the error ERROR 2006 (HY000) at line 97: MySQL server has gone away and successfully migrated a >5GB sql file by performing these two steps in order:
Created /etc/my.cnf as others have recommended, with the following contents:
[mysql]
connect_timeout = 43200
max_allowed_packet = 2048M
net_buffer_length = 512M
debug-info = TRUE
Appending the flags --force --wait --reconnect to the command (i.e. mysql -u root -p -h localhost my_db < file.sql --verbose --force --wait --reconnect).
Important Note: It was necessary to perform both steps, because if I didn't bother making the changes to /etc/my.cnf file as well as appending those flags, some of the tables were missing after the import.
System used: OSX El Capitan 10.11.5; mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.51 for osx10.8 (i386)
Just in case, to check variables you can use
$> mysqladmin variables -u user -p
This will display the current variables, in this case max_allowed_packet, and as someone said in another answer you can set it temporarily with
mysql> SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=1072731894
In my case the cnf file was not taken into account and I don't know why, so the SET GLOBAL code really helped.
You can also log into the database as root (or SUPER privilege) and do
set global max_allowed_packet=64*1024*1024;
doesn't require a MySQL restart as well. Note that you should fix your my.cnf file as outlined in other solutions:
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=64M
And confirm the change after you've restarted MySQL:
show variables like 'max_allowed_packet';
You can use the command-line as well, but that may require updating the start/stop scripts which may not survive system updates and patches.
As requested, I'm adding my own answer here. Glad to see it works!
The solution is increasing the values given the wait_timeout and the connect_timeout parameters in your options file, under the [mysqld] tag.
I had to recover a 400MB mysql backup and this worked for me (the values I've used below are a bit exaggerated, but you get the point):
[mysqld]
port=3306
explicit_defaults_for_timestamp = TRUE
connect_timeout = 1000000
net_write_timeout = 1000000
wait_timeout = 1000000
max_allowed_packet = 1024M
interactive_timeout = 1000000
net_buffer_length = 200M
net_read_timeout = 1000000
set GLOBAL delayed_insert_timeout=100000
Blockquote
I had the same problem but changeing max_allowed_packet in the my.ini/my.cnf file under [mysqld] made the trick.
add a line
max_allowed_packet=500M
now restart the MySQL service once you are done.
A couple things could be happening here;
Your INSERT is running long, and client is disconnecting. When it reconnects it's not selecting a database, hence the error. One option here is to run your batch file from the command line, and select the database in the arguments, like so;
$ mysql db_name < source.sql
Another is to run your command via php or some other language. After each long - running statement, you can close and re-open the connection, ensuring that you're connected at the start of each query.
If you are on Mac and installed mysql through brew like me, the following worked.
cp $(brew --prefix mysql)/support-files/my-default.cnf /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
Source: For homebrew mysql installs, where's my.cnf?
add max_allowed_packet=1073741824 to /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
mysql.server restart
I had the same problem in XAMMP
Metode-01: I changed max_allowed_packet in the D:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini file like that below:
max_allowed_packet=500M
Finally restart the MySQL service once and done.
Metode-02:
the easier way if you are using XAMPP. Open the XAMPP control panel, and click on the config button in mysql section.
Now click on the my.ini and it will open in the editor. Update the max_allowed_packet to your required size.
Then restart the mysql service. Click on stop on the Mysql service click start again. Wait for a few minutes.
Then try to run your Mysql query again. Hope it will work.
I encountered this error when I use Mysql Cluster, I do not know this question is from a cluster usage or not. As the error is exactly the same, so give my solution here.
Getting this error because the data nodes suddenly crash. But when the nodes crash, you can still get the correct result using cmd:
ndb_mgm -e 'ALL REPORT MEMORYUSAGE'
And the mysqld also works correctly.So at first, I can not understand what is wrong. And about 5 mins later, ndb_mgm result shows no data node working. Then I realize the problem. So, try to restart all the data nodes, then the mysql server is back and everything is OK.
But one thing is weird to me, after I lost mysql server for some queries, when I use cmd like show tables, I can still get the return info like 33 rows in set (5.57 sec), but no table info is displayed.
This error message also occurs when you created the SCHEMA with a different COLLATION than the one which is used in the dump. So, if the dump contains
CREATE TABLE `mytab` (
..
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
you should also reflect this in the SCHEMA collation:
CREATE SCHEMA myschema COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
I had been using utf8mb4_general_ci in the schema, cause my script came from a fresh V8 installation, now loading a DB on old 5.7 crashed and drove me nearly crazy.
So, maybe this helps you saving some frustating hours... :-)
(MacOS 10.3, mysql 5.7)
Add max_allowed_packet=64M to [mysqld]
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=64M
Restart the MySQL server.
If it's reconnecting and getting connection ID 2, the server has almost definitely just crashed.
Contact the server admin and get them to diagnose the problem. No non-malicious SQL should crash the server, and the output of mysqldump certainly should not.
It is probably the case that the server admin has made some big operational error such as assigning buffer sizes of greater than the architecture's address-space limits, or more than virtual memory capacity. The MySQL error-log will probably have some relevant information; they will be monitoring this if they are competent anyway.
This is more of a rare issue but I have seen this if someone has copied the entire /var/lib/mysql directory as a way of migrating their DB to another server. The reason it doesn't work is because the database was running and using log files. It doesn't work sometimes if there are logs in /var/log/mysql. The solution is to copy the /var/log/mysql files as well.
For amazon RDS (it's my case), you can change the max_allowed_packet parameter value to any numeric value in bytes that makes sense for the biggest data in any insert you may have (e.g.: if you have some 50mb blob values in your insert, set the max_allowed_packet to 64M = 67108864), in a new or existing parameter-group. Then apply that parameter-group to your MySQL instance (may require rebooting the instance).
For Drupal 8 users looking for solution for DB import failure:
At end of sql dump file there can commands inserting data to "webprofiler" table.
That's I guess some debug log file and is not really important for site to work so all this can be removed. I deleted all those inserts including LOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES (and everything between). It's at very bottom of the sql file. Issue is described here:
https://www.drupal.org/project/devel/issues/2723437
But there is no solution for it beside truncating that table.
BTW I tried all solutions from answers above and nothing else helped.
I've tried all of above solutions, all failed.
I ended up with using -h 127.0.0.1 instead of using default var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock.
If you have tried all these solutions, esp. increasing max_allowed_packet up to the maximum supported amount of 1GB and you are still seeing these errors, it might be that your server literally does not have enough free RAM memory available...
The solution = upgrade your server to more RAM memory, and try again.
Note: I'm surprised this simple solution has not been mentioned after 8+ years of discussion on this thread... sometimes we developers tend to overthink things.
Eliminating the errors which triggered Warnings was the final solution for me. I also changed the max_allowed_packet which helped with smaller files with errors. Eliminating the errors also sped up the process incredibly.
if none of this answers solves you the problem, I solved it by removing the tables and creating them again automatically in this way:
when creating the backup, first backup structure and be sure of add:
DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT
CREATE PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT
IF NOT EXISTS
AUTO_INCREMENT
then just use this backup with your db and it will remove and recreate the tables you need.
Then you backup just data, and do the same, and it will work.
How about using the mysql client like this:
mysql -h <hostname> -u username -p <databasename> < file.sql

MySQL General Log Not Starting on 'Set Global'

I am trying to set up my MySQL general log so that it can be switched on and off by using
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON'
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF'
I would like it off by default (i.e. on server startup) but then have the ability to toggle it as above, so that I don't have to keep restarting the server. When I attempt to switch general logging ON as above, MySQL generates the following error:
Table 'mysql.general_log' doesn't exist
This is true - I have purposely not created this table as I would like logging to occur to file - NOT to tables. This suggests to me that that MySQL is trying to log the general queries to table even though the relevant global variables are set as below:
log_output = FILE
general_log = OFF
general_log_file = /var/log/mysql-general.log
The relevant part of the my.cnf is as follows:
[mysqld]
general-log = OFF
general-log-file = /var/log/mysql-general.log
I am using MySQL version 5.1.58 on a Linux server.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
Since the table mysql.general_log does not exist, I assume you upgraded from a previous version of MySQL and need to run mysql_upgrade to create them.
Backup all of your databases using mysqldump and do a filesystem backup of /var/lib/mysql, then execute the following commands:
mysql_upgrade -p --force
followed by
service mysql restart
or
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
If the general_log table still does not exist after taking these steps, follow the steps in this post: MySql - I dropped general_log table to manually create it.

Logging MySQL query on Ubuntu

I need to log SQL to a file so i can check later which SQL run.
so i opened opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf and add these lines
log_slow_queries
log_queries_not_using_indexes =1
long_query_time = 1
slow_query_log = 1
slow_query_log_file = "/opt/lampp/logs/query.log"
but it did not logged the queries it even did not created the query.log file, so i created an empty file with the name, but still it's not working.
Edit
[mysqld]
log_slow_queries
log_queries_not_using_indexes =1
long_query_time = 1
slow_query_log = 1
general_log = 1
slow_query_log_file = /opt/lampp/logs/query.log
general_log_file = "/opt/lampp/logs/query.log"
This will only log slow queries. You need the general log if you want to see all queries.
general_log = 1
general_log_file = "/opt/lampp/logs/query.log"
Note that you'll need to restart the server for this to take effect. Also, you should only use this type of logging during testing as it does cause slowdown.
As other users mentioned, this could be a permissions issue. First, check what user MySQL is running as via ps -u -p $(pgrep mysql). The username will be displayed on the first column under USER. In your case, it seems the user is nobody. You can view the default group of a user via groups nobody. This should print something like nobody : nogroup.
To fix the permissions on the file, just run chown nobody:nogroup /opt/lampp/logs/query.log.
Be sure to give the correct permission :
chown mysql:mysql filename
also when i last did it , i had to restart the mysql service :
service mysqld restart
log_slow_queries
is deprecated
It now has to look like that:
slow_query_log
log_queries_not_using_indexes =1
long_query_time = 1
slow_query_log = 1
general_log = 1
slow_query_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
The process probably doesn't have permission to write to that directory. Make sure MySQL has permission to write there, or try logging somewhere less restricted.
This will only log slow queries. You need the general log if you want to see all queries.
general_log = 1
general_log_file = "/opt/lampp/logs/query.log"
Note that you'll need to restart the server for this to take effect. Also, you should only use this type of logging during testing as it does cause slowdown.
Also Note that mysql needs permissions over folder too, in my case, I changed:
general_log_file = "/opt/lampp/logs/query.log"
for
general_log_file = "/var/log/mysql/query.log"
But I have mysql installed from software center, without lampp, when I execute ls -l over /var/log/, it shows
drwx------ 8 mysql mysql 4096 sep 25 23:22 mysql
PD:I change the my.cn file and restart mysql, without create the query.log file in the specified path, mysql automatically create it

MySQL Error 1153 - Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

I'm importing a MySQL dump and getting the following error.
$ mysql foo < foo.sql
ERROR 1153 (08S01) at line 96: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes
Apparently there are attachments in the database, which makes for very large inserts.
This is on my local machine, a Mac with MySQL 5 installed from the MySQL package.
Where do I change max_allowed_packet to be able to import the dump?
Is there anything else I should set?
Just running mysql --max_allowed_packet=32M … resulted in the same error.
You probably have to change it for both the client (you are running to do the import) AND the daemon mysqld that is running and accepting the import.
For the client, you can specify it on the command line:
mysql --max_allowed_packet=100M -u root -p database < dump.sql
Also, change the my.cnf or my.ini file (usually found in /etc/mysql/) under the mysqld section and set:
max_allowed_packet=100M
or you could run these commands in a MySQL console connected to that same server:
set global net_buffer_length=1000000;
set global max_allowed_packet=1000000000;
(Use a very large value for the packet size.)
As michaelpryor said, you have to change it for both the client and the daemon mysqld server.
His solution for the client command-line is good, but the ini files don't always do the trick, depending on configuration.
So, open a terminal, type mysql to get a mysql prompt, and issue these commands:
set global net_buffer_length=1000000;
set global max_allowed_packet=1000000000;
Keep the mysql prompt open, and run your command-line SQL execution on a second terminal..
This can be changed in your my.ini file (on Windows, located in \Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server) under the server section, for example:
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 10M
Re my.cnf on Mac OS X when using MySQL from the mysql.com dmg package distribution
By default, my.cnf is nowhere to be found.
You need to copy one of /usr/local/mysql/support-files/my*.cnf to /etc/my.cnf and restart mysqld. (Which you can do in the MySQL preference pane if you installed it.)
The fix is to increase the MySQL daemon’s max_allowed_packet. You can do this to a running daemon by logging in as Super and running the following commands.
# mysql -u admin -p
mysql> set global net_buffer_length=1000000;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> set global max_allowed_packet=1000000000;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Then to import your dump:
gunzip < dump.sql.gz | mysql -u admin -p database
In etc/my.cnf try changing the max_allowed _packet and net_buffer_length to
max_allowed_packet=100000000
net_buffer_length=1000000
if this is not working then try changing to
max_allowed_packet=100M
net_buffer_length=100K
On CENTOS 6 /etc/my.cnf , under [mysqld] section the correct syntax is:
[mysqld]
# added to avoid err "Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes"
#
net_buffer_length=1000000
max_allowed_packet=1000000000
#
I have resolved my issue by this query
SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=1073741824;
and check max_allowed_packet with this query
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet';
Use a max_allowed_packet variable issuing a command like
mysql --max_allowed_packet=32M
-u root -p database < dump.sql
Slightly unrelated to your problem, so here's one for Google.
If you didn't mysqldump the SQL, it might be that your SQL is broken.
I just got this error by accidentally having an unclosed string literal in my code. Sloppy fingers happen.
That's a fantastic error message to get for a runaway string, thanks for that MySQL!
Error:
ERROR 1153 (08S01) at line 6772: Got a packet bigger than
'max_allowed_packet' bytes Operation failed with exitcode 1
QUERY:
SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=1073741824;
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet';
Max value:
Default Value (MySQL >= 8.0.3) 67108864
Default Value (MySQL <= 8.0.2) 4194304
Minimum Value 1024
Maximum Value 1073741824
Sometimes type setting:
max_allowed_packet = 16M
in my.ini is not working.
Try to determine the my.ini as follows:
set-variable = max_allowed_packet = 32M
or
set-variable = max_allowed_packet = 1000000000
Then restart the server:
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
It is a security risk to have max_allowed_packet at higher value, as an attacker can push bigger sized packets and crash the system.
So, Optimum Value of max_allowed_packet to be tuned and tested.
It is to better to change when required (using set global max_allowed_packet = xxx)
than to have it as part of my.ini or my.conf.
I am working in a shared hosting environment and I have hosted a website based on Drupal. I cannot edit the my.ini file or my.conf file too.
So, I deleted all the tables which were related to Cache and hence I could resolve this issue. Still I am looking for a perfect solution / way to handle this problem.
Edit - Deleting the tables created problems for me, coz Drupal was expecting that these tables should be existing. So I emptied the contents of these tables which solved the problem.
Set max_allowed_packet to the same (or more) than what it was when you dumped it with mysqldump. If you can't do that, make the dump again with a smaller value.
That is, assuming you dumped it with mysqldump. If you used some other tool, you're on your own.
