statistics empty

how to set userstat_running=on after restart mysql-server ?

i write on start script for mysql-server 'set global userstat_running=on'

You can add the userstat_running=on directive to the [mysqld] section in your my.cnf

Keep in mind that userstats leaks a bit of memory, so you shouldn't leave it enabled for a long time. Basically, turn it on when you want to measure stats, then turn it back off when done.

They won't leak in the upcoming 5.0.86 build, thanks to Neil Katin's
fixes.

That's very interesting memory leak information! At our company we use a
mixture of the Google and Percona patches, plus some of our own. Our own
modifications make MySQL communicate with a (still experimental, under
development) throttling daemon (to make sure that individual users don't
abuse mysqld).

We were noticing a huge (what appeared to be a) memory leak until we fixed
SHOW CLIENT_STATISTICS to allow host names of longer than 16 bytes. However,
we are still noticing smaller memory leaks on some boxes.

I will look at the 5.0.86 modification and see if it eliminates the
remaining leaks. (We're currently running 5.0.81 in production.)

Thanks in advance for all your help!

(P.S. I have ported the Google/Percona/OurLocal combined patch to MySQL
5.1.39. Because it includes our experimental throttling modifications, it
goes beyond the changes of OurDelta. Maybe I should separate them into two
patches? I'm still trying to understand patch-based source control. I
maintain our source in subversion. Whenever I want to generate a patch, I
export the base version and the modified version and use diff to create a
patch. Can anyone point to other methods that give "absolute" source control
using patches? Maybe using quilt, as some Linux kernel developers do?)

Hi Weldon

(cc ourdelta-developers, just remove question cc in your reply once/if
you're also connected there. It's going out of scope for this question)

You did? That sounds like a significant effort, with quite a few
pitfalls.
If you indeed have it working, it'd be interesting to look at.

However, it being one giant patch is somewhat problematic in terms of
ability to review.

OurDelta uses quilt, bzr and Launchpad.
See the readme in the base of an OurDelta bzr branch.

For 5.1, the changes would be merged into the Maria tree (also bzr/
Launchpad based).
Having one giant patch however can still pose a problem, depending on
exactly which revision it'd get merged into it could create a lot of
conflicts; plus the review of the code itself, plus the fact that in
5.1 we use XtraDB plugin not the old innobase subdirectory. And so
on... lots of differences.
But, still interesting to look at! So please do show us the goods!

Cheers,
Arjen.
