It's really hard to find out if a table in an instance has access.(

A common method is to open a tcpdump or tshark persistent packet to filter suspected table names.(


However, if we were using MySQL from the Percona branch, this would be much easier.


Under Percona MySQL, we can open the userstat parameter and query the system statistics tables to get access to the user, client, and library tables. Note that this function is only available in the Percona distribution of MySQL, not in the community version.

To clean up statistics, you can use the following commands:

FLUSH CLIENT_STATISTICS ; FLUSH INDEX_STATISTICS ; FLUSH TABLE_STATISTICS ; FLUSH THREAD_STATISTICS ; FLUSH USER_STATISTICS ;
