DBA’s framework for MySQL

common_schema is a framework for MySQL server administration.

common_schema provides with query scripting, analysis & informational views, and a function library, allowing for easier administration and diagnostics for MySQL. It introduces SQL based tools which simplify otherwise complex shell and client scripts, allowing the DBA to be independent of operating system, installed packages and dependencies.

It is a self contained schema, compatible with all MySQL >= 5.1 servers. Installed by importing the schema into the server. There is no need to configure nor compile. No special plugins are required, and no changes to your configuration.

common_schema has a small footprint (well under 1MB).

“The common_schema is to MySQL as jQuery is to javaScript”

 – Baron Schwartz, High Performance MySQL, 3rd Edition

• Execution and control flow routines, providing scripting functionality, such as foreach(), repeat_exec(), and more
• QueryScript interpreter, allowing for full blown scripting language capabilities
• Views, providing schema analysis, data dimensions, monitoring, processes & transactions, security, internals
• Tables, providing underlying reliable data
• Function library: stored routines providing general, text, time & date functionality
