MySQL Query Analyzer Tool
MySQL have announced a new service known as Query Analyser.
The tool will allow administrators and developers to review SQL for possible errors or problems which could harm query performance, an area of functionality which has been noticeable by it’s absence up until now.
Early tests on the system have reportedly seen considerable performance increases among beta testers,. A MySQL spokesman said “”Internally we have seen a 30 per cent improvement. It helps people find problematic code in minutes, and eliminates [that] code during the development process”.
In order to use the new tool, customers will need to have a Gold or higher level subscription to MySQL, although it will come at no extra cost. Hopefully it will just be a matter of time before service availability drips down to the general user population.
