💖 MK-PROFILE-COMPACT(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's about a lil tool called mk-profile-compact — she's a Maatkit girlie and she is lowkey a genius. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mk-profile-compact — compact the output from mk-query-profiler. it's giving "make it cute and narrow so everything fits side by side", no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Usage: mk-profile-compact [OPTION...] [FILE...]

mk-profile-compact aligns query profiler results side by side for easy comparison. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read from standard input. (yes bestie, that dash means "read from stdin", classic 💖)

To view queries 2, 4 and 6 side by side:

mk-profile-compact --queries 2,4,6 profile-results.txt

To view summaries from two runs side by side:

mk-profile-compact --mode SUMMARY results-1.txt results-2.txt

⚠️ RISKS ⚠️

okay so this whole section exists to keep you informed about the potential risks — known or unknown — of using this tool. the two main categories of risk are (1) risks from the nature of the tool (like, read-only tools vs read-write tools, iykyk) and (2) risks from bugs 🐛

mk-profile-compact is read-only and very low-risk. she's an angel. she does not touch your stuff. periodt. 🫶

At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm to users.

The authoritative source for updated information is always the online issue tracking system. Issues that affect this tool will be marked as such. You can see a list of such issues at the following URL: <http://www.maatkit.org/bugs/mk-profile-compact>.

See also "BUGS" for more information on filing bugs and getting help. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

mk-profile-compact slices and aligns the output from mk-query-profiler so you can compare profile results side by side easily. it prints the first profile result intact, but each subsequent result is trimmed to be as narrow as possible, then aligned next to the first. the way that first one stays whole and everyone else gets squished in next to her... main character energy fr fr 👑

You can also use this to examine only some profile results. For example, if you have a set of queries to get a table into a known state, and then a query you want to profile, you can ignore the setup queries. This is typically easy to do with a command-line option like --queries 4,8,12,16,20 to view every 4th query. (sneaky lil trick, love that for you 💅)

If the first profile it sees is labeled QUERY X, it will only look at QUERY profiles from then on. The same holds for SUMMARY profiles. This is because there are different numbers of lines in QUERY and SUMMARY profiles — like, they're just built different, okay? 😭 You can specify which kind of profile result you want to process. See mk-query-profiler for the full list of types. 🦋
