Delete unused MySQL indexes

How can I identify and delete unused
MySQL
indexes? I have a large table that has somehow accumulated way too many indexes over the years, and I'd now like to identify and delete indexes that are no longer used by the application.

As some general background, that's the syntax to delete an index, of course, but
MySQL
knows if an index is used because, well, it's the one that uses it, and it tracks that stuff internally. Now on to my question ... ;)

I can see your rationale, but I don't necessarily agree with a separate table in the database for every month. There are much more elegant ways of handling that use case these days, especially in
MySQL
. You didn't specify how long ago this was. Either way, still hoping a
MySQL
expert can come along and answer my question here.

>Is that list incomplete or straight-up wrong? I have no way of knowing. If I add a bunch of numbers and get an answer, is it right or wrong? Again, as a guess, if you have enabled the correct flags and let the system run through typical processing, the returned list should be, according to the docs, a list of unused indexes. Worst case …

Creating and removing database indexes is very complex and is not a matter of let's throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. When working with big data, loads and loads of thought goes into each and every index. Nearly all indexes can work, but not as well as others might, and having too many indexes on a table can slow down inserts and …

I faced a similar problem when I created and maintained the corporate side databases to mirror the EMS (AGC/SCADA) real time data. One month of data was roughly 300 meg and it was critical that this be available 24x7. Sometimes databases break and it is important to recover them as quickly as possible. Knowing that around 90% of the queries were on…

by asadalig
In 2025, cross-platform apps aren't inherently slower than native ones—it really depends on how they're built. Modern frameworks like Flutter, React Native, and Kotlin Multiplatform have closed the performance gap significantly. If developers optimize properly, most users won’t notice a difference. However, for extremely high-performance needs like…

A Microsoft Excel document can be opened in

using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel library. Using Workbooks.Open(), open the workbook, and then display the Excel window. Reference the Excel COM object in your project.

I see it's been a while since you posted, but I'm curious if anyone here has tried using the Open XML SDK instead of Interop or OleDb for reading Excel files. I found it faster and doesn't require Excel to be installed, though it can be more complex for writing. Wondering how others handle big Excel files or ones with tricky formatting?

I've worked on something similar and found that using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel lets you open the file and loop through cells easily.

I see pritaeas has answered so I'll move to the next stage of the discussion which is to ask what you need in your web site. For example there is an "online notepad" which does some basic notepad work. And there are many screensavers that run from a webpage with an example at whitescreen.online . You can get there.

Let me expand on what rproffitt said, by explaining why. If a webpage could run a program installed on another computer, the entire world wide web would be hacked into tiny pieces and cease to exist. No one would ever use the web, it would be so totally insecure. So web pages are prohibited from running programs on your computer. They can …

Pritaeas answered the question: normal WEB security settings forbids launching executables on a client machine. The only legal workaround is to create windows service (daemon in Linux environment), install it on client machine and listen for some commands coming from server over WEB sockets.
