This should also work for MariaDB 10.0 though I +have not tested this at all. Data is shown by table or filename and the +metrics also show how this is split between select, insert, update or +delete activity. + +This program was started as a simple project to allow me to learn go, +which I'd been following for a while, but hadn't used in earnest. This +probably shows in the code so suggestions on improvement are most welcome. + +Access to MySQL is currently via a defaults-file which is assumed to be +~/.my.cnf. I should probably make this more configurable. + +See also BUGS and NEW_FEATURES which describe things that probably need +looking at. + +Feedback and patches welcome. + +Simon J Mudd + -- 2.20.1
