How can I see the query from a remote session against my server

2010-06-09 Thread Bill Dossett
Hi,

I'm a real newb at admining MySQL.We have a customer that uses our software 
that scripts queries and they are using a MySQL backend.

They have sent us a test script and their database and I have setup a test 
server, loaded the data setup an ODBC connection and this all works fine.

The first job they sent us appears to be working fine, but the second one 
throws an error saying the query is empty back at us.

I am an IT manager and I don't know much about how our software scripting 
system works or even if there is a debugger, so I was just trying to attack the 
problem from the server side to see if I could see the query at the server...   
I thought profiling might help, but that only helps me with the session that I 
am connected to as far as I can see anyway, I'm not seeing any of the queries 
that are being generated by the remote seesion through the odbc connector...

Is there some way the I can see the queries that are being run against this 
server from the remote session?  As this is a test system and it's doing very 
little, I was hoping that if I could see the query I might get some insight of 
what might be wrong in the script without having to learn how our whole 
scripting software system works.

I have done this with the MSSQL profiler in the past to locate slow queries in 
the past, so I assume it is possible and I just can't make the documents on the 
MySQL profiler make sense to me.

Thanks for any help anyone could provide on this as I've got people that expect 
miracles in the next 5 minutes here!

Bill

Thanks all for the replies, I seemed to have figured out why this was empty... 
they gave me the wrong data to load into the test database and queries into it 
found no matches... I assumed that would be the problem and they are sending 
new data...  however, I am going to try and get the debug log working if 
possible as it sounds pretty useful, so thanks again.

Bill

The Windows ODBC connector does have a logging function. It's in the 
Details, on the Debug tab.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out where it puts the log file 
even after doing a full scan of my hard drive. I searched for myodbc.*, and 
didn't find anything that looked like a log file.

Either the feature doesn't work, or I'm blind.

Michael is right. But sometimes General log is not enabled and if that is
the case then you need to refer to the Binary logs.

But you cannot read the contents of the binlog just like that. You need to
convert that to a readable format.

mysqlbinlog bin.10001  /tmp/read_bincontent.log

 You have 2 options here.  The Mysql General Query Log

 Alternatively, if it's windows ( I ask because of the ODBC connector)
 and it's easier for you,
 I haven't done windows in awhile, but I suspect you might find what
 you want via that connector.  I seem to recall that you can, via
 control panel, set debug options on the connector which will happily
 create enormous logs of every query passing through.

 best of luck.
