MySQL: Script to find Index Usage Statistics of a Database

This article is half-done without your Comment! *** Please share your thoughts via Comment ***

In this post, I am sharing a script to find the Index Usage Statistics of MySQL.
This is a handy script for DBAs for finding the usage of indexes, and they can also take a decision to remove the unused indexes from the database server.

Below are two different scripts:

First, using SHOW INDEX:

1
SHOW INDEX FROM TableName FROM DatabaseName

Second, using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS table:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
SELECT
TABLE_NAME
,INDEX_NAME
,SEQ_IN_INDEX
,COLUMN_NAME
,CARDINALITY
,INDEX_TYPE
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS
WHERE table_schema = 'DatabaseName'

You can take a decision basis on the SEQ_IN_INDEX column data.
