Welcome to MySQL QA Episode #5! In this episode we’ll be setting up and running pquery for the first time… and I’ll also trigger some actual bugs (fun guaranteed)! I’ll also introduce you to mtr_to_sql.sh and pquery-run.sh.
pquery-run.sh (the main wrapper around pquery) is capable of generating 80-120 MySQL Server crashes – per hour! See how it all works in this episode…
