That doesn't mean that MySQL doesn't do it - maybe someone here can answer that with 100% certainty - but I'd be a little surprised if it did. You could create your own table of counters but I don't see how you could reasonably keep it accurate. You could certainly count *application* accesses by incrementing those counters every time your program hit a given table but I don't see how you could keep track of command line accesses. After all, every time someone executes "select * from my_table" from the command line, that is a database hit but I don't know of any simple way to keep track of those hits. Once triggers are added to MySQL you could create triggers to do this for you automatically with very little effort but that's probably at least several months away.
