v1.5.1

• A quote_identifier function was added, which can be used to properly backtick identifier names
• The Tls_version column was added to the output from the mysql.slave_master_info table, from the diagnostics procedure (backported from 5.7 upstream change)

---

• MySQL Bug #77853 / Oracle Bug #21512106 - The format_path function did not consider directory boundaries when comparing variables to paths - it now does. Also fixed to no longer translate backslashes within Windows paths to forward slash
• Oracle Bug #21663578 - Fixed an instability within the sysschema.v_schema_tables_with_full_table_scans test
• Oracle Bug #21970078 - The host_summary view could fail with a division by zero error
• MySQL Bug #78874 / Oracle Bug #22066096 - The ps_setup_show_enabled procedure showed all rows for the performance_schema.setup_objects table, rather than only those that are enabled
• MySQL Bug #80569 / Oracle Bug #22848110 - The max_latency column for the host_summary_by_statement_latency view incorrectly showed the SUM of latency
• MySQL Bug #80833 / Oracle Bug #22988461 - The pages_hashed and pages_old columns within the innodb_buffer_stats_by_schema and innodb_buffer_stats_by_table views were calculated incorrectly (Contributed by Tsubasa Tanaka)
• MySQL Bug #78823 / Oracle Bug #22011361 - The create_synonym_db procedure failed when using reserved words as the synonym name (this change also introduced the quote_identifier function mentioned above Contriubuted by Paul Dubois)
• MySQL Bug #81564 / Oracle Bug #23335880 - The ps_setup_show_enabled and ps_setup_show_disabled procedures were fixed to:
  • Show user@host instead of host@user for accounts
  • Fixed the column header for disabled_users within ps_setup_show_disabled
  • Explicitly ordered all output for test stability
  • Show disabled users for 5.7.6+
• Oracle Bug #21970806 - The sysschema.fn_ps_thread_trx_info test was unstable

v1.5.0

Improvements

• The format_bytes function now shows no decimal places when outputting a simple bytes value
• The processlist/x$processlist views where improved, changes include:
  • The pid and program_name of the connection are shown, if set within the performance_schema.session_connect_attrs table (Contributed by Daniël van Eeden)
  • Issue #50 - The current statement progress is reported via the new stage progress reporting within Performance Schema stages within 5.7 (such as ALTER TABLE progress reporting)
  • Issue #60 - A new statement_latency column was added to all versions, which reports the current statement latency with picosecond precision from the performance_schema.events_statements_current table, when enabled
  • Some transaction information was exposed, with the trx_latency (for the current or last transaction depending on trx_state), trx_state (ACTIVE, COMMITTED, ROLLED BACK), and trx_autocommit (YES/NO) columns
• A new metrics view has been added. On 5.7 this provides a union view of the performance_schema.global_status and information_schema.innodb_metrics tables, along with P_S memory and the current time, as a single metrics output. On 5.6 it provides a union view of the information_schema.global_status and information_schema.innodb_metrics tables, along with the current time. (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• New session/x$session views have been added, which give the same output as the processlist view counterparts, but filtered to only show foreground connections (Contributed by Morgan Tocker)
• A new session_ssl_status view was added, which shows the SSL version, ciper and session resuse statistics for each connection (Contributed by Daniël van Eeden)
• A new schema_auto_increment_columns view was added, that shows statistics on each auto_incrment within the instance, including the auto_increment_ratio, so you can easily monitor how full specific auto_increment columns are (Contributed by Shlomi Noach)
• A new schema_redundant_indexes view was added, that shows indexes made redundant (or duplicated) by other more dominant indexes. Also includes the the helper view x$schema_flattened_keys. (Contributed by Shlomi Noach)
• New schema_table_lock_waits/x$schema_table_lock_waits views have been added, which show any sessions that are waiting for table level metadata locks, and the sessions that are blocking them. Resolves Git Issue #57, inspired by the suggestion from Daniël van Eeden
• The innodb_lock_waits view had the following columns added to it, following a manually merged contribution from Shlomi Noach for a similar view
  • wait_age_secs - the current row lock wait time in seconds
  • sql_kill_blocking_query - the "KILL QUERY <connection_id>" command to run to kill the blocking session current statement
  • sql_kill_blocking_connection - the "KILL <connection_id" command to run to kill the blocking session
• A new table_exists procedure was added, which checks for the existence of table, and if it exists, returns the type (BASE TABLE, VIEW, TEMPORARY) (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• A new execute_prepared_stmt() procedure was added, which takes a SQL statement as an input variable and executes it as a prepared statement (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• A new statement_performance_analyzer() procedure was added, that allows reporting on the statements that are have been running over snapshot periods (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• A new diagnostics() procedure was added, which creates a large diagnostics report based upon most of the new instrumentation now available, computed over a configurable number of snapshot intervals (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• A 5.7 specific ps_trace_thread() procedure was added, which now shows the hierarchy of transactions and stored routines, as well as statements, stages and waits, if enabled
• Added a new ps_thread_account() stored function, that returns the "user@host" account for a given Performance Schema thread id
• Added a new ps_thread_trx_info() stored function which outputs, for a given thread id, the transactions, and statements that those transactions have executed, as a JSON object
• Added new list_add() and list_drop() stored functions, that take a string csv list, and either add or remove items from that list respectively. Can be used to easily update variables that take such lists, like sql_mode.
• The ps_thread_id stored function now returns the thread id for the current connection if NULL is passed for the in_connection_id parameter
• Added a new version_major() stored function, which returns the major version of MySQL Server (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Added a new version_minor() stored function, which returns the minor (release series) version of MySQL Server (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Added a new version_patch() stored function, which returns the patch release version of MySQL Server (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• The ps_is_account_enabled function was updated to take a VARCHAR(32) user input on 5.7, as a part of WL#2284
• The generate_sql_file.sh script had a number of improvements:
  • Generated files are now output in to a "gen" directory, that is ignored by git
  • Added using a new default "mysql.sys@localhost" user (that has the account locked) for the MySQL 5.7+ integration as the DEFINER for all objects
  • Added a warning to the top of the generated integration file to also submit changes to the sys project
  • Improved the the option of skipping binary logs, so that all routines can load as well - those that used SET sql_log_bin will now select a warning when being used instead of setting the option

Bug Fixes

• Git Issue #51 - Fixed the generate_sql_file.sh script to also replace the definer in the before_setup.sql output
• Git Issue #52 - Removed apostrophe from the format_statement function comment because TOAD no likey
• Git Issue #56 - Installation failed on 5.6 with ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY enabled
• Git Issue #76 - Fixes for the new show_compatibility_56 variable. 5.7 versions of the format_path() function and ps_check_lost_instrumentation view were added, that use performance_schema.global_status/global_variables instead of information_schema.global_status/global_variables
• Git Issue #79 - Fixed grammar within statements_with_runtimes_in_95th_percentile view descriptions
• Oracle Bug #21484593 / Oracle Bug #21281955 - The format_path() function incorrectly took and returned a VARCHAR(260) instead of VARCHAR(512) (as the underlying is exposed as in Performance Schema) causing sporadic test failures
• Oracle Bug #21550271 - Fixed the ps_setup_reset_to_default for 5.7 with the addition of the new history column on the performance_schema.setup_actors table
• Oracle Bug #21550054 - It is possible that the views can show data that overflows when aggregating very large values, reset all statistics before each test to ensure no overflows
• Oracle Bug #21647101 - Fixed the ps_is_instrument_default_enabed and ps_is_instrument_default_timed to take in to account the new instruments added within 5.7
• MySQL Bug #77848 - Added the missing ps_setup_instruments_cleanup.inc
• Fixed the ps_setup_reset_to_default() procedure to also set the new ENABLED column within performance_schema.setup_actors within 5.7
• The user_summary_by_file_io/x$user_summary_by_file_io and host_summary_by_file_io/x$host_summary_by_file_io tables were incorrectly aggregating all wait events, not just wait/io/file/%

Implementation Details

• Tests were improved via 5.7 integration
• Template files were added for stored procedures and functions
• Improved the sys_config_cleanup.inc procedure in tests to be able to reset the sys_config table completely (including the set_by column to NULL). The triggers can now be set to not update the column by setting the @sys.ignore_sys_config_triggers user variable to true

v1.4.0

Backwards Incompatible Changes

• The memory_global_by_current_allocated views were renamed to memory_global_by_current_bytes for consistency with the other memory views
• The ps_setup_enable_consumers procedure was renamed to ps_setup_disable_consumer for naming consistency (everything is now singular, not plural)
• The format_time function displayed values in minutes incorrectly, it now rounds to minutes, and uses an 'm' suffix, like the rest of the units

Improvements

• The beginnings of a mysql-test suite have been added
• The innodb_lock_waits/x$innodb_lock_waits views were improved (Contributions by both Jesper Wisborg Krogh and Mark Matthews)
  ** Added the wait_started, wait_age, waiting_trx_started waiting_trx_age, waiting_trx_rows_locked and waiting_trx_rows_modified columns for waiting transactions
  ** Added the blocking_trx_started, blocking_trx_age, blocking_trx_rows_locked and blocking_trx_rows_modified for blocking transactions
  ** Order the result set so the oldest lock waits are first
  ** The waiting_table and waiting_index were always the same as the blocking_table and blocking_index. So the blocking_% columns have been removed and the waiting_% columns have been renamed to locked_%
  ** The waiting_lock_type and blocking_lock_type were also always the same. So these were removed and replaced with a single locked_type column
  ** Renamed the waiting_thread and blocking_thread to waiting_pid and blocking_pid respectively to avoid confusion with the threads from the Performance Schema.
• Added the sys_get_config function, used to get configuration parameters from the sys_config table - primarily from other sys objects, but can be used individually (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Add an option to generate_sql_file.sh to generate a mysql_install_db / mysqld --initialize format friendly file
• Added the ps_is_thread_instrumented function, to check whether a specified thread is instrumented within Performance Schema
• Added the ps_is_consumer_enabled function, to check whether a specified consumer is enabled within Performance Schema (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Added some further replacements to the format_path function (slave_load_tmpdir, innodb_data_home_dir, innodb_log_group_home_dir and innodb_undo_directory)

Bug Fixes

• The 5.6 host_summary and x$host_summary views incorrectly had the column with COUNT(DISTINCT accounts.user) named unique_hosts instead of unique_users (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Both the format_time and format_bytes took a BIGINT as input, and output VARCHAR, but BIGINT could be too small for aggregated values for the inputs. Now both functions both use TEXT as their input (Issue #34, Issue #38)
• The format_time function displayed values in minutes incorrectly, it now rounds to minutes, and uses an 'm' suffix, like the rest of the units
• The sys_config related triggers had no DEFINER clause set
• The ps_setup_disable_thread procedure always disabled the current thread and was ignoring the connection id given as an argument (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• The ps_trace_thread procedure had an incorrect calculation of how long the procedure has been running (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)

Implementation Details

Various changes were made to allow better generation of integration sql files:

• The formatting for all comments has been standardized on -- line comments. C-style /* comments / have been removed
  * Issue #35 had one instance of this resolved in this release (contributed by Joe Grasse), but the entire code base has now been done
• Each object has been created within it's own file. No longer do x$ views live with their non-x$ counterparts
• DELIMITERs were standardized to $$

v1.3.0

Improvements

• Added an innodb_lock_waits set of views, showing each thread that is waiting on a lock within InnoDB, and the blocking thread lock information (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed broken host_summary_by_stages views, broken with a last minute change before the 1.2.0 release that went unnoticed (facepalm)

v1.2.0

Backwards Incompatible Changes

• The host_summary_by_stages and user_summary_by_stages wait_sum and wait_avg columns were renamed to total_latency and avg_latency respectively, for consistency.
• The host_summary_by_file_io_type and user_summary_by_file_io_typelatencycolumn was renamed tototal_latency`, for consistency.

Improvements

• Made the truncation length for the format_statement view configurable
  • This includes adding a new persistent sys_config table to store the new variable - statement_truncate_len - see the README for usage
• Added total_latency to the schema_tables_with_full_table_scans view, and added an x$ counterpart
• Added innodb_buffer_free to the schema_table_statistics_with_buffer view, to summarize how much free space is allocated per table in the buffer pool
• The schema_unused_indexes view now ignores indexes named PRIMARY (primary keys)
• Added rows_affected and rows_affected_avg stats to the statement_analysis views
• The statements_with_full_table_scans view now ignores any SQL that starts with SHOW
• Added a script, generate_sql_file.sh, that can be used to generate a single SQL file, also allowing substitution of the MySQL user to use, and/or whether the SET sql_log_bin ... statements should be omitted.
  ** This is useful for those using RDS, where the root@localhost user is not accessible, and sql_log_bin is disabled (Issue #5)
• Added a set of memory_by_thread_by_current_bytes views, that summarize memory usage per thread with MySQL 5.7's memory instrumentation
• Improved each of the host specific views to return aggregate values for background threads, instead of ignoring them, in the same way as the user summary views

Bug Fixes

• Added the missing memory_by_host view for MySQL 5.7
• Added missing space for hour notation within the format_time function
• Fixed views affected by MySQL 5.7 ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY and functional dependency changes

v1.1.0

Improvements

• Added host summary views, which have the same structure as the user summary views, but aggregated by host instead (Contributed by Arnaud Adant)
  • host_summary
  • host_summary_by_file_io_type
  • host_summary_by_file_io
  • host_summary_by_statement_type
  • host_summary_by_statement_latency
  • host_summary_by_stages
  • waits_by_host_by_latency
• Added functions which return instruments are either enabled, or timed by default (#15) (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
  • ps_is_instrument_default_enabled
  • ps_is_instrument_default_timed
• Added a ps_thread_id function, which returns the thread_id value exposed within performance_schema for the current connection (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Improved each of the user specific views to return aggregate values for background threads, instead of ignoring them (Contributed by Joe Grasse)
• Optimized the schema_table_statistics and schema_table_statistics_with_buffer views, to use a new view that will get materialized (x$ps_schema_table_statistics_io), along with the changes to the RETURN types for extract_schema_from_file_name and extract_table_from_file_name, this results in a significant performance improvement - in one test changing the run time from 14 minutes to 20 seconds. (Conceived by Roy Lyseng, Mark Leith and Jesper Wisborg Krogh, implemented and contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)

Bug Fixes

• Removed unintentially committed sys_56_rds.sql file (See Issue #5, which is still outstanding)
• Fixed the ps_trace_statement_digest and ps_trace_thread procedures to properly set sql_log_bin, and reset the thread INSTRUMENTED value correctly (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Removed various sql_log_bin disabling from other procedures that no longer require it - DML against the performance_schema data is no longer replicated (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Fixed EXPLAIN within ps_trace_statement_digest procedure (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Fixed the datatype for the thd_id variable within the ps_thread_stack procedure (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Fixed datatypes used for temporary tables within the ps_trace_statement_digest procedure (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Fixed the RETURN datatype extract_schema_from_file_name and extract_table_from_file_name to return a VARCHAR(64) (Contributed by Jesper Wisborg Krogh)
• Added events_transactions_current to the default enabled consumers in 5.7 (#25)

v1.0.1

1.0.1

Improvements

• Added procedures to enable / disable Performance Schema consumers. (Contributed by the MySQL QA Team)
  • ps_setup_disable_consumers(<LIKE string>) allows disabling any consumers matching the LIKE string.
  • ps_setup_enable_consumers(<LIKE string>) allows enabling any consumers matching the LIKE string.
• Added procedures to show both enabled and disbled consumers or instruments individually, these are more useful for tooling than the ps_setup_show_enabled/ps_setup_show_disabled procedures which show all configuration in multiple result sets. (Contributed by the MySQL QA Team)
  • ps_setup_show_disabled_consumers shows only disabled consumers.
  • ps_setup_show_disabled_instruments shows only disabled instruments.
  • ps_setup_show_enabled_consumers shows only enabled consumers.
  • ps_setup_show_enabled_instruments shows only enabled instruments.

Bug Fixes

• Running the installation scripts sometimes failed because of the comment format. (#1) (Contributed by Joe Grasse)
• Some views did not work with the ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO SQL mode. (#6) (Contributed by Joe Grasse)
• On Windows the ps_thread_stack() stored function failed to escape file path backslashes correctly within the JSON output.
