Contributions summary:Jared primarily contributed to improving the performance and scalability of the ProxySQL statistics gathering and storage mechanism. This involved modifying the database schema to use integer IDs instead of strings for lookups, creating new tables and indexes for better data access. Additionally, the user added new functions and members to the statistics module to handle the mapping between variable names and IDs and optimize the database queries. These changes aimed to improve the efficiency of storing and retrieving MySQL status variables.
