Statistics

Table of Contents

MySQL Native Driver contains support for gathering statistics on the communication between the client and the server. The statistics gathered are of two main types:

  • Client statistics
  • Connection statistics

When using the mysqli extension, these statistics can be obtained through two API calls:

  • mysqli_get_client_stats
  • mysqli_get_connection_stats

Note: Statistics are aggregated among all extensions that use the MySQL Native Driver. For example, if the mysqli extension and the PDO MySQL driver are both set-up to use MySQLnd, then function calls from mysqli and method calls from PDO will affect the statistics. There is no way to find out how much a certain API call of any extension that has been compiled against MySQL Native Driver has impacted a certain statistic.
