It’s incredibly useful to know which tables in your MySQL databases are seeing active changes versus those tables that are less frequently updated or entirely static. To do this, we need to examine DML (Data Manipulation Language) activity—specifically, updates, inserts, and deletes. MySQL offers various mechanisms to gather this information. This blog will explore two primary […]
