I added |log-slow-queries |to my my.ini file.
So now it says

#
[client]

port=3306

[mysql]

default-character-set=latin1
log-slow-queries

#
when I try to log into the server I get this:
C:>mysql -u myUserName -p
mysql: unknown option '--log-slow-queries'

I thought this was what the documentation said to do, but it was rather
hard to understand (or, maybe I'm just braindead right now. That's
possible.)


||Thanks for any help.

Try:

log-slow-queries=ON

You will probably want to set a value for "slow query log" as well.

That option is for mysqld not mysql. I think that may be your problem.
Include it in your options file under [mysqld] not [mysql]. I think you
will need to restart your server for this to take effect.

Without being 100% sure I think, that the section [mysql] should be =
renamed to [mysqld]

also you might want to set the variable "long_query_time =3D <num =
seconds>"

I've seen reference to this, but I really have no idea how long a query
should take to run. What is a reasonable time?
Joelle <-- totally new and clueless about all of this stuff.
