Now that Ryan Lowe has come to the SF-MySQL-Meetup to talk about Maatkit I’ve become very familiar with mk-query-digest.

I use it with –processlist. It sure would be great to see an example of it being used with tcpdump. But for now it’s working great. Ryan said once I started using it I’d feel like I owed him a beer. He’s right!

I’m contracting at a start-up working p/t. I’ve got them using mk-parallel-dump & mk-parallel-restore (whoa those are fast & cool). I want them to have one backup a day where they use parallel dump.

I’m working on getting mk-archiver working so that it can be put into a script.

I love! maatkit. I think the terse docs may keep some away from using it.

Right now I’m trying to figure out how to archive from a table where the PK is missing in another table. I archive into another db.

I use maatkit to check all our slave databases are in sync all the time – i’d be lost without it!

I use maatkit for backups and restores, master-slave auditing, correction of replication audit failures, query analysis, slow query log analysis, grant auditing, and a few other things. Maatkit is the secret sauce that makes my MySQL database consulting business successful.

I personally use Maatkit in my own startup, Inkzee for table purging, but apart from that we also use it in Tuenti.com, the biggest social network in Spain.
