mk-profile-compact.1p - Man Page

Compact the output from mk-query-profiler.

Synopsis

Usage: mk-profile-compact [OPTION...] [FILE...]

mk-profile-compact aligns query profiler results side by side for easy comparison.  With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read from standard input.

Risks

The following section is included to inform users about the potential risks, whether known or unknown, of using this tool.  The two main categories of risks are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g. read-only tools vs. read-write tools) and those created by bugs.

mk-profile-compact is read-only and very low-risk.

At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm to users.

The authoritative source for updated information is always the online issue tracking system.  Issues that affect this tool will be marked as such.  You can see a list of such issues at the following URL: <http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-profile-compact>.

Description

mk-profile-compact slices and aligns the output from mk-query-profiler so you can compare profile results side by side easily.  It prints the first profile result intact, but each subsequent result is trimmed to be as narrow as possible, then aligned next to the first.

You can also use this to examine only some profile results.  For example, if you have a set of queries to get a table into a known state, and then a query you want to profile, you can ignore the setup queries.  This is typically easy to do with a command-line option like "--queries" 4,8,12,16,20 to view every 4th query.

If the first profile it sees is labeled QUERY X, it will only look at QUERY profiles from then on.  The same holds for SUMMARY profiles.  This is because there are different numbers of lines in QUERY and SUMMARY profiles.  You can specify which kind of profile result you want to process.  See mk-query-profiler for the full list of types.
