645 queries (65 unique), longest ran in 0.370524 seconds), parsed in 0.088793 seconds
### Queries by type
SELECTs: 593 (92%)
INSERTs: 51 (8%)
UPDATEs: 1 (0%)
### 5 most frequent queries
61 times: SELECT total FROM forum_group_list_vw WHERE group_forum_id=''
46 times: SELECT plugin_id, plugin_name FROM plugins
46 times: INSERT INTO activity_log (day,hour,group_id,browser,ver,platform,time,page,type) VALUES (0,'','','','','','','','');
40 times: select classname from supported_languages where language_code = ''
40 times: SELECT language_code FROM supported_languages WHERE language_id=''

If you install it via RubyGems, you can run it using "pqa -f file1 [file2, etc.]".
