Percona Toolkit is a collection of advanced command-line tools used by
5
Percona (http://www.percona.com/) support staff to perform a variety of
6
MySQL and system tasks that are too difficult or complex to perform manually.
8
These tools are ideal alternatives to private or "one-off" scripts because
9
they are professionally developed, formally tested, and fully documented.
10
They are also fully self-contained, so installation is quick and easy and
11
no libraries are installed.
13
Percona Toolkit is developed and supported by Percona Inc. For more
