MySQL: Disable query cache for database profiling
If you want to see how long your database queries actually take, you need to disable MySQL's query cache. This can be done globally by logging into a database console, run
SET GLOBAL query_cache_type=OFF;
and restart your rails server.
You can also disable the cache on a per query basis by saying
SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE * FROM ...
You also probably want to disable Rails internal (per-request) cache. For this, wrap your code with a call to ActiveRecord::Base.uncached. For example, as an around_filter:
def disable_cache
ActiveRecord::Base.uncached do
yield
end
true
end
Don't forget to re-enable MySQL query caching later with
SET GLOBAL query_cache_type=ON;
