25.20 The INFORMATION_SCHEMA PROFILING Table

Contents

The PROFILING table provides statement profiling information. Its contents correspond to the information produced by the SHOW PROFILE and SHOW PROFILES statements (see Section 13.7.6.30, “SHOW PROFILE Syntax”). The table is empty unless the profiling session variable is set to 1.

Note

This table is deprecated and will be removed in a future MySQL release. Use the Performance Schema instead; see Section 26.19.1, “Query Profiling Using Performance Schema”.

The PROFILING table has these columns:

QUERY_ID
A numeric statement identifier.
SEQ
A sequence number indicating the display order for rows with the same QUERY_ID value.
STATE
The profiling state to which the row measurements apply.
DURATION
How long statement execution remained in the given state, in seconds.
CPU_USER, CPU_SYSTEM
User and system CPU use, in seconds.
CONTEXT_VOLUNTARY, CONTEXT_INVOLUNTARY
How many voluntary and involuntary context switches occurred.
BLOCK_OPS_IN, BLOCK_OPS_OUT
The number of block input and output operations.
MESSAGES_SENT, MESSAGES_RECEIVED
The number of communication messages sent and received.
PAGE_FAULTS_MAJOR, PAGE_FAULTS_MINOR
The number of major and minor page faults.
SWAPS
How many swaps occurred.
SOURCE_FUNCTION, SOURCE_FILE, and SOURCE_LINE
Information indicating where in the source code the profiled state executes.

Notes

The PROFILING table is a nonstandard INFORMATION_SCHEMA table.

Profiling information is also available from the SHOW PROFILE and SHOW PROFILES statements. See Section 13.7.6.30, “SHOW PROFILE Syntax”. For example, the following queries are equivalent:

SHOW PROFILE FOR QUERY 2;
SELECT STATE, FORMAT(DURATION, 6) AS DURATION
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROFILING
WHERE QUERY_ID = 2 ORDER BY SEQ;
