I just had another look at what I wrote the week before last (you know, being home-sick/on vacation has it’s advantages) and additionally read up on “OPTIMIZE TABLE” again. The comments in the manual mention “SHOW TABLE STATUS“, which gives you a complete list, but it doesn’t allow you to filter certain kinds of things out (like I only wanted to see MyISAM tables in the list, I only wanted database and table).
So I went ahead and looked around in MySQL’s own databases and if you look closely at information_schema, it’s got a list of all databases/tables with an additional pointer whether or not databases are fragmented, the row Data_free. I only found this, because I looked at how the mysqltuner figured whether or not you have fragmented tables.
So, without further ado, here’s the final script I’m gonna torture for the next week:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
#!/bin/bash # Get a list of all fragmented tables FRAGMENTED_TABLES="$( mysql -e 'use information_schema; SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME FROM TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA NOT IN ("information_schema","mysql") AND Data_free > 0' | grep -v "^+" | sed "s,t,.," )" for fragment in $FRAGMENTED_TABLES; do database="$( echo $fragment | cut -d. -f1 )" table="$( echo $fragment | cut -d. -f2 )" [ $fragment != "TABLE_SCHEMA.TABLE_NAME" ] && mysql -e "USE $database; OPTIMIZE TABLE $table;" > /dev/null 2>&1 done # vim: set tw=80 ts=2 st=2 et : |
I know it ain’t completely bullet proof and it sure as hell isn’t neat, but I think it does the job. Also, if you don’t want to paste it, here’s the file download.
