Worked in Database technology for �xed the issues faced in daily activities in Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB etc.

Check and analyze the STATISTICS in the MySQL database

Analyze the Statistics for table, columns & partitions histogram in Mysql

Check the Statistics in the MySQL database

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS WHERE table_name = 'tbl_name' AND table_schema = 'db_name';

Generate the Statistics for the table in the MySQL database

ANALYZE [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE tbl_name [, tbl_name]..

Example:
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE city;
+------------+---------+----------+----------+

| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |

+------------+---------+----------+----------+

| world.city | analyze | status | OK |

+------------+---------+----------+----------+
1 row in set (0.07 sec)

Note: Read last note with example for ANALYZE table make it Uninitialized and run stats on next table access.

Generate stats for a table with Histogram of columns

ANALYZE [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE tbl_name UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON col_name [, col_name] ..[WITH N BUCKETS]

Example:

mysql> ANALYZE TABLE city UPDATE HISTOGRAM ON Name,District WITH 16 BUCKETS\G

*************************** 1. row ***************************

Table: world.city
Op: histogram
Msg_type: status

Msg_text: Histogram statistics created for column 'District'.

*************************** 2. row ***************************
Table: world.city
Op: histogram
Msg_type: status
Msg_text: Histogram statistics created for column 'Name'.

2 rows in set (0.17 sec)

Remove histogram statistics for column in table

ANALYZE [NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG | LOCAL] TABLE tbl_name DROP HISTOGRAM ON col_name [, col_name] ..

Example:
mysql> ANALYZE TABLE city DROP HISTOGRAM ON District;
+------------+-----------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |

+------------+-----------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| world.city | histogram | status | Histogram statistics removed for column 'District'. |

+------------+-----------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------+

1 row in set (0.01 sec)

Gather statistics for Partition in a table

ALTER TABLE table_name ANALYZE PARTITION {partition_names | ALL};

Check information from the following views:

-- Provide information about table indexes

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS WHERE table_name = 'tbl_name' AND table_schema = 'db_name'

-- Information about column statistics

select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMN_STATISTICS where schema_name = 'db_name' and table_name = 'tbl_name';

SELECT HISTOGRAM FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMN_STATISTICS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'city' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'name';

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESTATS where name ='world/city';

Note:
ANALYZE TABLE clears table statistics from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESTATS table and
sets the STATS_INITIALIZED column to Uninitialized.
Statistics are collected again the next time the table is accessed.

Example of Note:

mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESTATS where name ='world/city';

+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--

------+
| TABLE_ID | NAME | STATS_INITIALIZED | NUM_ROWS | CLUST_INDEX_SIZE | OTHER_INDEX_SIZE | MODIFIED_COUNTER | AUTOINC |
REF_COUNT |
+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--

------+
| 1088 | world/city | Initialized | 4188 | 25 | 8 | 0 | 4080 |

2 |
+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--
------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> analyze table city;

+------------+---------+----------+----------+

| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |

+------------+---------+----------+----------+

| world.city | analyze | status | OK |

+------------+---------+----------+----------+

1 row in set (0.04 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESTATS where name ='world/city';

+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--
------+

| TABLE_ID | NAME | STATS_INITIALIZED | NUM_ROWS | CLUST_INDEX_SIZE | OTHER_INDEX_SIZE | MODIFIED_COUNTER | AUTOINC |

REF_COUNT |

+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--
------+
| 1088 | world/city | Uninitialized | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4080 |
1 |

+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--

------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select count(*) from city;

+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 4079 |
+----------+

1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESTATS where name ='world/city';

+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--
------+
| TABLE_ID | NAME | STATS_INITIALIZED | NUM_ROWS | CLUST_INDEX_SIZE | OTHER_INDEX_SIZE | MODIFIED_COUNTER | AUTOINC |
REF_COUNT |

+----------+------------+-------------------+----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+---------+--

------+
| 1088 | world/city | Initialized | 4188 | 25 | 8 | 0 | 4080 |
