For reasons I can't go into here, it is not feasible to fulfil this request at this time. Sorry.
Description: EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON can print additional value if compare to regular EXPLAIN, such as query cost, but these features are not documented anywhere How to repeat: mysql> EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user\G *************************** 1. row *************************** EXPLAIN: { "query_block": { "select_id": 1, "cost_info": { "query_cost": "3.13" }, "table": { "table_name": "user", "access_type": "index", "key": "PRIMARY", "used_key_parts": [ "Host", "User" ], "key_length": "276", "rows_examined_per_scan": 5, "rows_produced_per_join": 5, "filtered": "100.00", "using_index": true, "cost_info": { "read_cost": "2.13", "eval_cost": "1.00", "prefix_cost": "3.13", "data_read_per_join": "2K" }, "used_columns": [ "Host", "User" ] } } } 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) See "cost_info" and "used_columns" part. Now try to find same information in regular EXPLAIN: mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 1 select_type: SIMPLE table: user partitions: NULL type: index possible_keys: NULL key: PRIMARY key_len: 276 ref: NULL rows: 5 filtered: 100.00 Extra: Using index 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) Suggested fix: Document all additions which EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON provides
