Hi all,
I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "not possible" but I'll ask just
in case.
Is there a way to simplify the output that comes from explain?
I'm writing a script to check my database logs to see whether I am
missing any indexes.
Basically the process goes like this:
- Find a select query in the logs
- Run it through the database using 'explain'
- Check whether it's using an index scan or "other"
Yes, I know not every query is going to use an index, but this will cut
down on the queries I have to check.
At the moment the explain output can get complicated to parse and
process, so I'm trying to think of another approach to use.
Any suggestions are welcome :)
Chris.
