Percona Toolkit (for MySQL): It's Basically Magic

Percona is a software and services company specializing in database support, development, consulting and training. Percona Toolkit for MySQL is a collection of advanced command-line tools (which our own Percona MySQL Support staff uses) to perform a variety of MySQL server and system tasks that are too difficult or complex to perform manually, including:

*Verify MySQL replication integrity by checking master and replica data consistency
*Efficiently archive rows
*Find duplicate indexes
*Summarize MySQL servers
*Analyze queries from logs and tcpdump
*Collect vital system information when problems occur
*And so much more

“Percona Toolkit allows our large, transaction-based customers to make regular schema changes as their business evolves without interrupting their 24X7 operations.”
