Re: How can I see the query from a remote session against my server
You have 2 options here. The Mysql General Query Log http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-log.html 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. - md (side-note: I would not recommend hosting data services without a DBA to manage them) On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 6:48 AM, Bill Dossett bill.doss...@pb.com wrote: Hi, I'm a real newb at admining MySQL.

Re: How can I see the query from a remote session against my server
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 Cheers, Anirudh Sundar DataVail Corp Mumbai On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 6:52 PM, Michael Dykman mdyk...@gmail.com wrote: You have 2 options here.

Re: How can I see the query from a remote session against my server
binlogs only contain data modifications, it won't show you the SELECT queries; I don't think that path is worth your time for the problem at hand. I suggest you explicitly enable the gebneral query log and restart if need be. - md On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 9:47 AM, Anirudh Sundar sundar.anir...@gmail.com wrote: Michael is right.

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

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