Don’t you think so that finding Long Running Queries are a very common requirement for a Database Administrator? ‘

Yes, Database Administrators are always looking for a list of Long Running Queries.

In this post, I am sharing scripts to find Long Running Queries or Transactions of MySQL Database Server.

MySQL DBA can use this script to take necessary steps against the bad and long running queries which increase the overall performance of MySQL Database Server.

In below script, I set 59 seconds internal to find long running query since last 59 seconds.
As per your requirement, you can change this value.

Script without using Performance_schema:

SELECT 
	trx.trx_id
	,trx.trx_started
	,trx.trx_mysql_thread_id
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TRX AS trx
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST AS pl 
	ON trx.trx_mysql_thread_id = pl.id
WHERE trx.trx_started < CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL 59 SECOND
  AND pl.user <> 'system_user';

Script using Performance_schema:

SELECT 
	pl.id 'PROCESS ID'
	,trx.trx_started
	,esh.event_name 'EVENT NAME'
	,esh.sql_text 'SQL'
FROM information_schema.innodb_trx AS trx
INNER JOIN information_schema.processlist pl 
	ON trx.trx_mysql_thread_id = pl.id
INNER JOIN performance_schema.threads th 
	ON th.processlist_id = trx.trx_mysql_thread_id
INNER JOIN performance_schema.events_statements_history esh 
	ON esh.thread_id = th.thread_id
WHERE trx.trx_started < CURRENT_TIME - INTERVAL 59 SECOND
  AND pl.user <> 'system_user'
ORDER BY esh.EVENT_ID;
