The Query Analyzer Section

Navicat Monitor for MySQL/MariaDB's Query Analyzer tool provides a graphical representation of the query logs that makes interpreting their contents much easier. In addition, the Query Analyzer tool enables you to monitor and optimize query performance, visualize query activity statistics, analyze SQL statements, as well as quickly identify and resolve long running queries. Last week's blog provided an overview of this useful feature and described how to take full advantage of the Latest Deadlock Query and Process List screen sections. In this 2nd and final installment, we will learn all about the Query Analyzer screen section.
