要使用该功能，mysql的版本必须在5.0.37版本以上。否则只能使用explain 的方式来检查。
profiling 功能可以了解到cpu io 等更详细的信息。
show profile 的格式如下：
SHOW PROFILE [type [, type] ... ]
[FOR QUERY n]
[LIMIT row_count [OFFSET offset]]type:
ALL
| BLOCK IO
| CONTEXT SWITCHES
| CPU
| IPC
| MEMORY
| PAGE FAULTS
| SOURCE
| SWAPS
默认方式下该功能是关闭的：
mysql>select @@profiling;
+-------------+
| @@profiling |
+-------------+
| 0 |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
打开功能
mysql>set profiling=1;
+-------------+
| @@profiling |
+-------------+
| 1 |
+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
输入需要执行的sql 语句：
mysql>select count(*) from sysuser;
mysql>select count(*) from sysuser;
mysql> show profiles/G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Query_ID: 1
Duration: 0.00007550
Query: select count(*) from sysuser
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
通过指定的Query_ID 来查询指定的sql语句的执行信息：
mysql> show profile for query 1;
+--------------------------------+----------+
| Status | Duration |
+--------------------------------+----------+
| starting | 0.000028 |
| checking query cache for query | 0.000008 |
| checking privileges on cached | 0.000009 |
| sending cached result to clien | 0.000023 |
| logging slow query | 0.000004 |
| cleaning up | 0.000003 |
+--------------------------------+----------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show profile cpu,block io for query 1;
+--------------------------------+----------+----------+------------+--------------+---------------+
| Status | Duration | CPU_user | CPU_system | Block_ops_in | Block_ops_out |
+--------------------------------+----------+----------+------------+--------------+---------------+
| starting | 0.000028 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| checking query cache for query | 0.000008 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| checking privileges on cached | 0.000009 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| sending cached result to clien | 0.000023 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| logging slow query | 0.000004 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| cleaning up | 0.000003 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+--------------------------------+----------+----------+------------+--------------+---------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
如果不带for 参数则指列出最后一条语句的profile 信息：
mysql> show profile cpu,block io for query 1;
+--------------------------------+----------+----------+------------+--------------+---------------+
| Status | Duration | CPU_user | CPU_system | Block_ops_in | Block_ops_out |
+--------------------------------+----------+----------+------------+--------------+---------------+
| starting | 0.000028 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| checking query cache for query | 0.000008 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| checking privileges on cached | 0.000009 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| sending cached result to clien | 0.000023 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| logging slow query | 0.000004 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
| cleaning up | 0.000003 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
+--------------------------------+----------+----------+------------+--------------+---------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
关闭参数：
mysql> set profiling=0
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| profiling | OFF |
+---------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
