Write a slow query to test slow query logging?
Question
Is there a simple query that would take > 2 sec so that I can test the slow query logger?
I am looking for something like a generic recursive or iterative statement.
Solution
A simple query would be:
SELECT SLEEP(2);
You want to iterate it?
DELIMITER $$
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `iterateSleep` $$
CREATE FUNCTION `iterateSleep` (iterations INT)
RETURNS INT DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
DECLARE remainder INT;
SET remainder = iterations;
read_loop: LOOP
IF remainder=0 THEN
LEAVE read_loop;
END IF;
SELECT SLEEP(2) INTO @test;
SET remainder = remainder - 1;
END LOOP;
RETURN iterations;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
-- TO TEST IT OUT
mysql> SELECT iterateSleep(2);
+-----------------+
| iterateSleep(2) |
+-----------------+
| 2 |
+-----------------+
1 row in set (4.01 sec)
Alternatively if you just want to test your slow_query_log, change 'long_query_time' to 0 (to log all queries):
SET long_query_time=0;
OTHER TIPS
Here is a pretty horrible query. It is a Cartesian product, using non-ansi style join.
use master
select * from sys.objects, sys.indexes
