数据库启动一周，产生的临时表惊人，设置的两个变量tmp_table_size = 16777216, max_heap_table_size=64M。

从nmon上看IO消耗比较大，特别是IOPS已经达到了瓶颈，现在要定位出是哪些SQL导致的这个问题。

官方文档的解释：

Created_tmp_disk_tables

The number of internal on-disk temporary tables created by the server while executing statements.

If an internal temporary table is created initially as an in-memory table but becomes too large, MySQL automatically converts it to an on-disk table. The maximum size for in-memory temporary tables is the minimum of the tmp_table_size andmax_heap_table_size values. If Created_tmp_disk_tables is large, you may want to increase the tmp_table_size or max_heap_table_size value to lessen the likelihood that internal temporary tables in memory will be converted to on-disk tables.

You can compare the number of internal on-disk temporary tables created to the total number of internal temporary tables created by comparing the values of the Created_tmp_disk_tables and Created_tmp_tables variables.

这些SQL会产生：DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY and UNION。如果需要的临时表 大于 min(tmp_table_size, max_heap_table_size)，就会需要放到磁盘上。

有一个表是监控产生Created_tmp_disk_tables的SQL。

history_long表则记录了最近所有线程产生的10000个事件,是可以配置的。
