Start mysql with the --log option   mysqld --log log file name   or place the following in your my cnf file   log   log file name   Either one will log all queries to log file name   You can also log only slow queries using the --log-slow-queries option instead of --log   By default  queries that take 10 seconds or longer are considered slow  you can change this by setting long query time to the number of seconds a query must take to execute before being logged
