Well, if it's shutting-down your JVM while you're trying to observe
it, then maybe you don't want it doing that. *shrug* I'm just saying
that Tomcat doesn't usually just decide to shut down for no good reason.

Yes. logAbandoned IIRC logs to System.out, so you'll get that stuff in
catalina.out. I also recommend setting logAbandonedTimeout to
something reasonable. I don't remember the default.

Whoever wrote that didn't read the mysqldump manual. Who knows *what*
that's going to give you.

That depends on what the query does. If it checks permissions to
login, that's insane and you should get a new programmer. If it's a
reporting query that gathers lots of data then 1 second might not be
quite so far-fetched.

Look into SchemaSpy.

So you're saying that you're not going to get a lot of good
information out of him/her?

Just rememeber to vet all the recommendations. Don't just read
"increase your query cache size" as a recommendation and blindly apply
that rule. Many times the query cache is less useful that you might think.
