15.1 Procedure analyse

analyse([max elements,[max memory]])

This procedure is defined in the `sql/sql_analyse.cc'. This examines the result from your query and returns an analysis of the results.

• max elements (default 256) is the maximum number of distinct values analyse will notice per column. This is used by analyse to check if the optimal column type should be of type ENUM.
• max memory (default 8192) is the maximum memory analyse should allocate per column while trying to find all distinct values.
