Find what will probably turn out to be totally awful MySQL queries before they ruin everything.
What does it do then?
You pass it a PDO object and a SQL call, it learns a little about your DB, and works out whether your query is potentially garbage
How does it decide?
Basically, by whether a) the table is very long - if it's not, it'll be fine. b) if the table IS long, whether the query is using one or more indexes to give it a fighting chance of being OK.
How do I use it?
Make a PDO object, pass it into a nice new Stinkers object, and ask it whether your SQL is dogshit or not.
$dbName = "greatDB"
$dsn = "mysql:dbname={$dbName};host=127.0.0.1";
$pdo = new \PDO($dsn, "username", "excellentPassword");
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(1) FROM excellentTable WHERE thingID=2229 AND theDate='2017-05-12'";
$stinkers = new \DanielJHarvey\QueryStinkers\Stinkers($dbName, $tables, $pdo);
$problematicQuery = $stinkers->checkQuery($sql);
$problematicQuery will either return false (not a problem, great) or an array-based stack trace (so that the offending query creating code can be located)
That's going to slow things down a bit isn't it?
Yeah, unfortunately so, so please please please don't use this in production. If you wish to speed things up, you can cache the DB tables data created by Stinkers like this:
$tables = $stinkers->getTables();
cacheTablesDataWithYourExcellentCachingSolution($tables);
Then you're free to use it again like this:
$dbName="excellentDB"
$tables = getCachedTablesFromYourGreatCachingFunction();
$stinkers = new \DanielJHarvey\QueryStinkers\Stinkers($dbName, $tables);
// no need to rebuild table data, everything is fine
