What is the MySQL equivalent of PostgreSQL's EXPLAIN ANALYZE

Question

I\'d like to get a detailed query plan in MySQL similar to EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows in PostgreSQL. Is there an equivalent?

Answer 1

just for clarity, comment on accepted answer (don't have enough karma to add comment)

procedure analyse() is for a different purpose that EXPLAIN, it analyzes the data set of specified column and suggests the best data type, i.e. it's useful when we have 1000 rows of varchar(255) and want to check how much length do we really need, f.e. it might tell that varchar(23) would suffice
