brew install percona-toolkit
v3.7.1
GPL-2.0-only OR Artistic-1.0-Perl
Collection of Perl command-line tools for MySQL and MariaDB administration, diagnostics, and system task automation.
Why you might care
Percona Toolkit provides specialized utilities for database ops (table checksums, query profiling, slave management) that are difficult to replicate with standard SQL clients alone. It's particularly useful for large-scale MySQL deployments where you need fast parallel operations, point-in-time recovery tools, and system-level diagnostics; widely trusted in production environments for DBA workflows.
