Log all queries in MySQL
In MySQL, it is possible to log all queries that were executed. You can view them as a table or file.
Output query history into a table
To output executed queries into a table, run the following MySQL commands:
SET GLOBAL log_output = 'TABLE';
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
Then, take a look at mysql.general_log table, where you see the query history:
SELECT * FROM mysql.general_log
Output query history into a file
To output query history into a file instead of a table, run the following MySQL commands:
SET GLOBAL log_output = "FILE";
SET GLOBAL general_log_file = "/path/to/your/logfile.log";
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
Don’t forget to replace "/path/to/your/logfile.log" with the actual log file
you wish to use. Then you can just open the file to see query history. To see
the last 10 line, run the following command:
tail /path/to/your/logfile.log
