Make SHOW as good as SELECT even with InnoDB

Here’s a snippet of what I’d like SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS to look like:

as opposed to what the server sends:

...
--------
FILE I/O
--------
Pending flushes (fsync): 0
295 OS file reads, 1 OS file writes, 1 OS fsyncs
0.00 reads/s, 0 avg bytes/read, 0.00 writes/s, 0.00 fsyncs/s
...

In my last post I described a way to
Make SHOW as good as SELECT”
which was possible because most result sets from SHOW etc. are at least table-like, but
STATUS’s wall of text isn’t table-like. So I forced it into a table with these basic rules:

• A line inside ——s, like FILE I/O, is the category of what follows.
• Otherwise a line is a row but if it contains commas it is multiple rows.
• Numbers can usually be extracted from text as different columns..

After that there’s still a bunch of fiddling, I put the details in source-code comments.

Version 2.3

The new features related to SHOW etc. are now in a released version as well as in source code,
downloadable from github.

In the rest of this post I’ll show a complete result from SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS; (“before”),
and the same data from SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS WHERE 1 > 0; after ocelot_statement_syntax_checker
has been set to ‘7’ (“after”). (Instead of copying the Grid Widget I copied from the History Widget
after setting Max Row Count to 100.)
