MS provides a nifty tool called SQL Profiler along with SQL Server that allows you to see the queries being executed by the database (along with a whole bunch of information like Timing, Reads, Writes) in real time.

No such tool is available for MySql. So, I put together a small application to allow you to peek what queries are being executed by Mysql using a desktop application. Note, this application does not compare with SQL Profiler from Microsoft.

To use this application is quite simple and straightforward:

1. Enable query log file in your MySql settings.
2. Start the application, and browse to your log file.
3. Click “Start” to start peeking to your MySql database queries being executed.
4. Click “Stop” to end peeking.

This application was written in NET so you will .NET Framework 2.0 installed to run it. Here is a screenshot:
