Mysql query log

一、查询日志的概念：

查询日志记录MySQL中所有的query，通过"--log[=file_name]"来打开该功能。由于记录了所有的query，包括所有的select，体积比较大，开启后对性能也有比较大的影响，所以请大家慎用该功能。一般只用于跟踪某些特殊的sql性能问题才会短暂打开该功能。默认的查询日志文件名为：hostname.log. 
  To enable the general query log as of MySQL 5.1.6,start mysqld with the --log option,and optionally use --log-ouput to specify the log output destination as described in Section 5.11.1,"Server Log Tables",Before 5.1.6,enable the general query log file with the --log[=file_name]or -l[file_name] option.If no file_name value is give,the default name is host_name,log in the data directory.
  Server restarts and log flushing do not cause a new general query log file to be generated (although flushingcloses and reopens it).On Unix,you can rename the file and create a new one by using the following commands:

shell> my host_name.log host_name-old.log
  shell> mysqladmin flush-logs
  shell> cp host_name-old.log backup-directory
  shell> rm host_name-old.log

二、实验部分：

----默认情况下查看是否启用查询日志：
[root@node4 mysql5.5]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL....                                         [  OK  ]
[root@node4 mysql5.5]# mysql

mysql> show variables like '%log';

+--------------------------------+-------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
----备注：log和general_log这两个参数是兼容的。而默认的情况下查询日志是不开启的
----使用下面的命令是开启查询日志
mysql> set global log=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.03 sec)
 
mysql> show variables like '%log';
+--------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name                  | Value |
+--------------------------------+-------+
| back_log                       | 50    |
| general_log                    | ON    |
| innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog | OFF   |
| log                            | ON    |
| relay_log                      |       |
| slow_query_log                 | OFF   |
| sync_binlog                    | 0     |
| sync_relay_log                 | 0     |
+--------------------------------+-------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
----其中log参数是过时的，在启动选项中使用log参数的话，会在err日志中显示出来。
----修改my.cnf文件，添加log的参数设置
[root@node4 mysql5.5]# vi my.cnf
[root@node4 mysql5.5]# cat ./my.cnf |grep '^log='
log=/tmp/mysqlgen.log
----清空err日志
[root@node4 mysql5.5]# cat /dev/null > /tmp/mysql3306.err
[root@node4 mysql5.5]# ll /tmp/mysql3306.err

----在上面的操作中可以看到已经启用查询日志，并且文件目录是/tmp/mysqlgen.log。
----查询日志记录了哪些东西？
进行下面的查询
