You can use the below query to get number of rows per partition in a MySQL table.
SELECT PARTITION_NAME, TABLE_ROWS FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'your table name';

Difference between two dates in mysql
You can use MySQL’s inbuilt function TIMESTAMPDIFF to get difference between two dates in MySQL. A typical query would be
SELECT
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SECOND,date_column_from ,date_column_to)
FROM
table_name;
Mysql Dump in XML format
To take dump in XML format you have to provide an extra option in default mysqldump command. This can be useful in cases where you want to migrate your MySQL database to some other database.
You can use below command to take MySQL Database dump in XML format.
mysqldump --xml -u[username] -p[password] [db_name] > filename.xml
or
mysqldump -X -u[username] -p[password] [db_name] > filename.xml
For example if you have a database test_database with an username as root and password as mypassword the command to take dump will be,
mysqldump --xml -u root -p mypassword test_database > filename.xml
MySQL General query logs
MySQL prints each query in General query logs. This can be helpful in application profiling if you want to see how many and which queries are being run in a transaction and when commit/rollback is executed.
You can enable MySQL general query logs by running below sql command from root user:
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';
By default, logs will be stored at /var/log/query.log , If you are getting the “permission error” after running above command.
Edit your mysqld.conf file which is located under /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d ( This location may be different for your installation )
vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.conf
and change the value of
general_log_file = /var/log/query.log
to
general_log_file = /var/lib/mysql/your_log_filename.log
In my case default general query log file location was /var/log/query.log & MySQL didn’t had permission to write at that location.

MySQL query with the conditions as ‘NOT LIKE IN’
While working with MySQL database i needed to write a query which will exclude rows where a column contains one or more words from a set of words. i.e I want to fetch data from student from table where name doesn’t contain words shashank,john etc.
Initially i was trying to write a query like this :
select * from TABLE
where
Column NOT Like IN
('%VALUE1%', '%VALUE2%', '%VALUE3%')
but i was getting error as IN doesn’t work with Like.
There is two way you can write this query.
Method 1 :
Add multiple Like statement, each for every word to be excluded.
Select * from TABLE where Column NOT Like '%VALUE1%' AND Column NOT Like '%VALUE2%' AND Column NOT Like '%VALUE3%'
Method 2 :
If you have set of words which you want to include/exclude in search from a particular column. You may want to use regular expression function of mysql.
Exclude set of words from a column :
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE Column NOT REGEXP 'VALUE1|VALUE2|VALUE3'
Search set of words in a column :
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE Column REGEXP 'VALUE1|VALUE2|VALUE3'
