MYSQLBINLOG(1) MySQL Database System MYSQLBINLOG(1)
NAME
mysqlbinlog - utility for processing binary log files
SYNOPSIS
mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...
DESCRIPTION
The server's binary log consists of files containing "events" that
describe modifications to database contents. The server writes these
files in binary format. To display their contents in text format, use
the mysqlbinlog utility. You can also use mysqlbinlog to display the
contents of relay log files written by a slave server in a replication
setup because relay logs have the same format as binary logs. The
binary log and relay log are discussed further in Section 5.2.4, "The
Binary Log", and Section 17.2.2, "Replication Relay and Status Logs".
Invoke mysqlbinlog like this:
shell> mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...
For example, to display the contents of the binary log file named
binlog.000003, use this command:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.0000003
The output includes events contained in binlog.000003. For
statement-based logging, event information includes the SQL statement,
the ID of the server on which it was executed, the timestamp when the
statement was executed, how much time it took, and so forth. For
row-based logging, the event indicates a row change rather than an SQL
statement. See Section 17.1.2, "Replication Formats", for information
about logging modes.
Events are preceded by header comments that provide additional
information. For example:
# at 141
#100309 9:28:36 server id 123 end_log_pos 245
Query thread_id=3350 exec_time=11 error_code=0
In the first line, the number following at indicates the file offset,
or starting position, of the event in the binary log file.
The second line starts with a date and time indicating when the
statement started on the server where the event originated. For
replication, this timestamp is propagated to slave servers. server id
is the server_id value of the server where the event originated.
end_log_pos indicates where the next event starts (that is, it is the
end position of the current event + 1). thread_id indicates which
thread executed the event. exec_time is the time spent executing the
event, on a master server. On a slave, it is the difference of the end
execution time on the slave minus the beginning execution time on the
master. The difference serves as an indicator of how much replication
lags behind the master. error_code indicates the result from executing
the event. Zero means that no error occurred.
Note
When using event groups, the file offsets of events may be grouped
together and the comments of events may be grouped together. Do not
mistake these grouped events for blank file offsets.
The output from mysqlbinlog can be re-executed (for example, by using
it as input to mysql) to redo the statements in the log. This is useful
for recovery operations after a server crash. For other usage examples,
see the discussion later in this section and in Section 7.5, "Point-in-
Time (Incremental) Recovery Using the Binary Log".
Normally, you use mysqlbinlog to read binary log files directly and
apply them to the local MySQL server. It is also possible to read
binary logs from a remote server by using the --read-from-remote-server
option. To read remote binary logs, the connection parameter options
can be given to indicate how to connect to the server. These options
are --host, --password, --port, --protocol, --socket, and --user; they
are ignored except when you also use the --read-from-remote-server
option.
When running mysqlbinlog against a large binary log, be careful that
the filesystem has enough space for the resulting files. To configure
the directory that mysqlbinlog uses for temporary files, use the TMPDIR
environment variable.
mysqlbinlog supports the following options, which can be specified on
the command line or in the [mysqlbinlog] and [client] groups of an
option file. For information about option files used by MySQL programs,
see Section 4.2.6, "Using Option Files".
o --help, -?
Display a help message and exit.
o --base64-output=value
This option determines when events should be displayed encoded as
base-64 strings using BINLOG statements. The option has these
permissible values (not case sensitive):
o AUTO ("automatic") or UNSPEC ("unspecified") displays BINLOG
statements automatically when necessary (that is, for format
description events and row events). If no --base64-output
option is given, the effect is the same as
--base64-output=AUTO.
Note
Automatic BINLOG display is the only safe behavior if you
intend to use the output of mysqlbinlog to re-execute
binary log file contents. The other option values are
intended only for debugging or testing purposes because
they may produce output that does not include all events in
executable form.
o NEVER causes BINLOG statements not to be displayed.
mysqlbinlog exits with an error if a row event is found that
must be displayed using BINLOG.
o DECODE-ROWS specifies to mysqlbinlog that you intend for row
events to be decoded and displayed as commented SQL statements
by also specifying the --verbose option. Like NEVER,
DECODE-ROWS suppresses display of BINLOG statements, but unlike
NEVER, it does not exit with an error if a row event is found.
For examples that show the effect of --base64-output and --verbose
on row event output, see the section called "MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT
DISPLAY".
o --bind-address=ip_address
On a computer having multiple network interfaces, use this option
to select which interface to use for connecting to the MySQL
server.
This option is supported beginning with MySQL 5.6.1.
o --binlog-row-event-max-size=N
+-----------------+----------------------------------+
|Command-Line | --binlog-row-event-max-size=# |
|Format | |
+-----------------+-----------+----------------------+
| | Type | numeric |
| +-----------+----------------------+
|Permitted Values | Default | 4294967040 |
|(64-bit +-----------+----------------------+
|platforms) | Min Value | 256 |
| +-----------+----------------------+
| | Max Value | 18446744073709547520 |
+-----------------+-----------+----------------------+
Specify the maximum size of a row-based binary log event, in bytes.
Rows are grouped into events smaller than this size if possible.
The value should be a multiple of 256. The default is 4GB.
o --character-sets-dir=dir_name
The directory where character sets are installed. See Section 10.5,
"Character Set Configuration".
o --connection-server-id=server_id
This option is used to test a MySQL server for support of the
BINLOG_DUMP_NON_BLOCK connection flag, which was inadvertently
removed in MySQL 5.6.5, and restored in MySQL 5.6.20 (Bug
#18000079, Bug #71178). It is not required for normal operation.
The effective default and minimum values for this option depend on
whether mysqlbinlog is run in blocking mode or non-blocking mode.
When mysqlbinlog is run in blocking mode, the default (and minimum)
value is 1; when run in non-blocking mode, the default (and
minimum) value is 0.
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.20.
o --database=db_name, -d db_name
This option causes mysqlbinlog to output entries from the binary
log (local log only) that occur while db_name is been selected as
the default database by USE.
The --database option for mysqlbinlog is similar to the
--binlog-do-db option for mysqld, but can be used to specify only
one database. If --database is given multiple times, only the last
instance is used.
The effects of this option depend on whether the statement-based or
row-based logging format is in use, in the same way that the
effects of --binlog-do-db depend on whether statement-based or
row-based logging is in use.
Statement-based logging. The --database option works as follows:
o While db_name is the default database, statements are output
whether they modify tables in db_name or a different database.
o Unless db_name is selected as the default database, statements
are not output, even if they modify tables in db_name.
o There is an exception for CREATE DATABASE, ALTER DATABASE, and
DROP DATABASE. The database being created, altered, or dropped
is considered to be the default database when determining
whether to output the statement.
Suppose that the binary log was created by executing these
statements using statement-based-logging:
INSERT INTO test.t1 (i) VALUES(100);
INSERT INTO db2.t2 (j) VALUES(200);
USE test;
INSERT INTO test.t1 (i) VALUES(101);
INSERT INTO t1 (i) VALUES(102);
INSERT INTO db2.t2 (j) VALUES(201);
USE db2;
INSERT INTO test.t1 (i) VALUES(103);
INSERT INTO db2.t2 (j) VALUES(202);
INSERT INTO t2 (j) VALUES(203);
mysqlbinlog --database=test does not output the first two INSERT
statements because there is no default database. It outputs the
three INSERT statements following USE test, but not the three
INSERT statements following USE db2.
mysqlbinlog --database=db2 does not output the first two INSERT
statements because there is no default database. It does not output
the three INSERT statements following USE test, but does output the
three INSERT statements following USE db2.
Row-based logging. mysqlbinlog outputs only entries that change
tables belonging to db_name. The default database has no effect on
this. Suppose that the binary log just described was created using
row-based logging rather than statement-based logging. mysqlbinlog
--database=test outputs only those entries that modify t1 in the
test database, regardless of whether USE was issued or what the
default database is. If a server is running with binlog_format set
to MIXED and you want it to be possible to use mysqlbinlog with the
--database option, you must ensure that tables that are modified
are in the database selected by USE. (In particular, no
cross-database updates should be used.)
Prior to MySQL 5.6.10, the --database option did not work correctly
with a log written by a GTID-enabled MySQL server. (Bug #15912728)
o --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]
Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is
d:t:o,file_name. The default is d:t:o,/tmp/mysqlbinlog.trace.
o --debug-check
Print some debugging information when the program exits.
o --debug-info
Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
when the program exits.
o --default-auth=plugin
A hint about the client-side authentication plugin to use. See
Section 6.3.7, "Pluggable Authentication".
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.2.
o --defaults-extra-file=file_name
Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix)
before the user option file. If the file does not exist or is
otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs. file_name is interpreted
relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name
rather than a full path name.
o --defaults-file=file_name
Use only the given option file. If the file does not exist or is
otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs. file_name is interpreted
relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name
rather than a full path name.
o --defaults-group-suffix=str
Read not only the usual option groups, but also groups with the
usual names and a suffix of str. For example, mysqlbinlog normally
reads the [client] and [mysqlbinlog] groups. If the
--defaults-group-suffix=_other option is given, mysqlbinlog also
reads the [client_other] and [mysqlbinlog_other] groups.
o --disable-log-bin, -D
Disable binary logging. This is useful for avoiding an endless loop
if you use the --to-last-log option and are sending the output to
the same MySQL server. This option also is useful when restoring
after a crash to avoid duplication of the statements you have
logged.
This option requires that you have the SUPER privilege. It causes
mysqlbinlog to include a SET sql_log_bin = 0 statement in its
output to disable binary logging of the remaining output. The SET
statement is ineffective unless you have the SUPER privilege.
o --exclude-gtids=gtid_set
Do not display any of the groups listed in the gtid_set. Added in
MySQL 5.6.5.
o --force-if-open, -F
Read binary log files even if they are open or were not closed
properly.
o --force-read, -f
With this option, if mysqlbinlog reads a binary log event that it
does not recognize, it prints a warning, ignores the event, and
continues. Without this option, mysqlbinlog stops if it reads such
an event.
o --hexdump, -H
Display a hex dump of the log in comments, as described in the
section called "MYSQLBINLOG HEX DUMP FORMAT". The hex output can be
helpful for replication debugging.
o --host=host_name, -h host_name
Get the binary log from the MySQL server on the given host.
o --include-gtids=gtid_set
Display only the groups listed in the gtid_set. Added in MySQL
5.6.5.
o --local-load=dir_name, -l dir_name
Prepare local temporary files for LOAD DATA INFILE in the specified
directory.
Important
These temporary files are not automatically removed by
mysqlbinlog or any other MySQL program.
o --login-path=name
Read options from the named login path in the .mylogin.cnf login
path file. A "login path" is an option group containing options
that specify which MySQL server to connect to and which account to
authenticate as. To create or modify a login path file, use the
mysql_config_editor utility. See mysql_config_editor(1). This
option was added in MySQL 5.6.6.
o --no-defaults
Do not read any option files. If program startup fails due to
reading unknown options from an option file, --no-defaults can be
used to prevent them from being read.
The exception is that the .mylogin.cnf file, if it exists, is read
in all cases. This permits passwords to be specified in a safer way
than on the command line even when --no-defaults is used.
(.mylogin.cnf is created by the mysql_config_editor utility. See
mysql_config_editor(1).)
o --offset=N, -o N
Skip the first N entries in the log.
o --password[=password], -p[password]
The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option
and the password. If you omit the password value following the
--password or -p option on the command line, mysqlbinlog prompts
for one.
Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, "End-User Guidelines for Password
Security". You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
on the command line.
o --plugin-dir=dir_name
The directory in which to look for plugins. Specify this option if
the --default-auth option is used to specify an authentication
plugin but mysqlbinlog does not find it. See Section 6.3.7,
"Pluggable Authentication".
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.2.
o --port=port_num, -P port_num
The TCP/IP port number to use for connecting to a remote server.
o --print-defaults
Print the program name and all options that it gets from option
files.
o --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is
useful when the other connection parameters normally would cause a
protocol to be used other than the one you want. For details on the
permissible values, see Section 4.2.2, "Connecting to the MySQL
Server".
o --raw
By default, mysqlbinlog reads binary log files and writes events in
text format. The --raw option tells mysqlbinlog to write them in
their original binary format. Its use requires that
--read-from-remote-server also be used because the files are
requested from a server. mysqlbinlog writes one output file for
each file read from the server. The --raw option can be used to
make a backup of a server's binary log. With the --stop-never
option, the backup is "live" because mysqlbinlog stays connected to
the server. By default, output files are written in the current
directory with the same names as the original log files. Output
file names can be modified using the --result-file option. For more
information, see the section called "USING MYSQLBINLOG TO BACK UP
BINARY LOG FILES".
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.0.
o --read-from-remote-master=type
Read binary logs from a MySQL server with the COM_BINLOG_DUMP or
COM_BINLOG_DUMP_GTID commands by setting the option value to either
BINLOG-DUMP-NON-GTIDS or BINLOG-DUMP-GTIDS, respectively. If
--read-from-remote-master=BINLOG-DUMP-GTIDS is combined with
--exclude-gtids, transactions can be filtered out on the master,
avoiding unnecessary network traffic.
See also the description for --read-from-remote-server.
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.5.
o --read-from-remote-server, -R
Read the binary log from a MySQL server rather than reading a local
log file. Any connection parameter options are ignored unless this
option is given as well. These options are --host, --password,
--port, --protocol, --socket, and --user.
This option requires that the remote server be running. It works
only for binary log files on the remote server, not relay log
files.
As of MySQL 5.6.5, this option is like
--read-from-remote-master=BINLOG-DUMP-NON-GTIDS.
o --result-file=name, -r name
Without the --raw option, this option indicates the file to which
mysqlbinlog writes text output. With --raw, mysqlbinlog writes one
binary output file for each log file transferred from the server,
writing them by default in the current directory using the same
names as the original log file. In this case, the --result-file
option value is treated as a prefix that modifies output file
names.
o --secure-auth
Do not send passwords to the server in old (pre-4.1) format. This
prevents connections except for servers that use the newer password
format. This option is enabled by default; use --skip-secure-auth
to disable it. This option was added in MySQL 5.6.17.
Note
Passwords that use the pre-4.1 hashing method are less secure
than passwords that use the native password hashing method and
should be avoided. Pre-4.1 passwords are deprecated and support
for them will be removed in a future MySQL release. For account
upgrade instructions, see Section 6.3.8.3, "Migrating Away from
Pre-4.1 Password Hashing and the mysql_old_password Plugin".
o --server-id=id
Display only those events created by the server having the given
server ID.
o --server-id-bits=N
Use only the first N bits of the server_id to identify the server.
If the binary log was written by a mysqld with server-id-bits set
to less than 32 and user data stored in the most significant bit,
running mysqlbinlog with --server-id-bits set to 32 enables this
data to be seen.
This option is supported only by the versions of mysqlbinlog
supplied with the MySQL Cluster distribution, or built from the
MySQL Cluster sources.
o --set-charset=charset_name
Add a SET NAMES charset_name statement to the output to specify the
character set to be used for processing log files.
o --shared-memory-base-name=name
On Windows, the shared-memory name to use, for connections made
using shared memory to a local server. The default value is MYSQL.
The shared-memory name is case sensitive.
The server must be started with the --shared-memory option to
enable shared-memory connections.
o --short-form, -s
Display only the statements contained in the log, without any extra
information or row-based events. This is for testing only, and
should not be used in production systems.
o --skip-gtids[=(true|false)]
Do not display any GTIDs in the output. This is needed when writing
to a dump file from one or more binary logs containing GTIDs, as
shown in this example:
shell> mysqlbinlog --skip-gtids binlog.000001 > /tmp/dump.sql
shell> mysqlbinlog --skip-gtids binlog.000002 >> /tmp/dump.sql
shell> mysql -u root -p -e "source /tmp/dump.sql"
The use of this option is otherwise not normally recommended in
production.
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.5.
o --socket=path, -S path
For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on
Windows, the name of the named pipe to use.
o --start-datetime=datetime
Start reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp
equal to or later than the datetime argument. The datetime value is
relative to the local time zone on the machine where you run
mysqlbinlog. The value should be in a format accepted for the
DATETIME or TIMESTAMP data types. For example:
shell> mysqlbinlog --start-datetime="2005-12-25 11:25:56" binlog.000003
This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
"Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".
o --start-position=N, -j N
Start reading the binary log at the first event having a position
equal to or greater than N. This option applies to the first log
file named on the command line.
This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
"Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".
o --stop-datetime=datetime
Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp
equal to or later than the datetime argument. This option is useful
for point-in-time recovery. See the description of the
--start-datetime option for information about the datetime value.
This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
"Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".
o --stop-never
This option is used with --read-from-remote-server. It tells
mysqlbinlog to remain connected to the server. Otherwise
mysqlbinlog exits when the last log file has been transferred from
the server. --stop-never implies --to-last-log, so only the first
log file to transfer need be named on the command line.
--stop-never is commonly used with --raw to make a live binary log
backup, but also can be used without --raw to maintain a continuous
text display of log events as the server generates them.
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.0.
o --stop-never-slave-server-id=id
With --stop-never, mysqlbinlog reports a server ID of 65535 when it
connects to the server. --stop-never-slave-server-id explicitly
specifies the server ID to report. It can be used to avoid a
conflict with the ID of a slave server or another mysqlbinlog
process. See the section called "SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER
ID".
This option was added in MySQL 5.6.0.
o --stop-position=N
Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a position
equal to or greater than N. This option applies to the last log
file named on the command line.
This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
"Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".
o --to-last-log, -t
Do not stop at the end of the requested binary log from a MySQL
server, but rather continue printing until the end of the last
binary log. If you send the output to the same MySQL server, this
may lead to an endless loop. This option requires
--read-from-remote-server.
o --user=user_name, -u user_name
The MySQL user name to use when connecting to a remote server.
o --verbose, -v
Reconstruct row events and display them as commented SQL
statements. If this option is given twice, the output includes
comments to indicate column data types and some metadata.
For examples that show the effect of --base64-output and --verbose
on row event output, see the section called "MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT
DISPLAY".
o --verify-binlog-checksum, -c
Verify checksums in binary log files. This option was added in
MySQL 5.6.1.
o --version, -V
Display version information and exit.
Prior to MySQL 5.6.11, the mysqlbinlog version number shown was
3.3. In MySQL 5.6.11 and later, this is 3.4. (Bug #15894381, Bug
#67643)
You can also set the following variable by using --var_name=value
syntax:
o open_files_limit
Specify the number of open file descriptors to reserve.
You can pipe the output of mysqlbinlog into the mysql client to execute
the events contained in the binary log. This technique is used to
recover from a crash when you have an old backup (see Section 7.5,
"Point-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery Using the Binary Log"). For
example:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p
Or:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.[0-9]* | mysql -u root -p
If the statements produced by mysqlbinlog may contain BLOB values,
these may cause problems when mysql processes them. In this case,
invoke mysql with the --binary-mode option.
You can also redirect the output of mysqlbinlog to a text file instead,
if you need to modify the statement log first (for example, to remove
statements that you do not want to execute for some reason). After
editing the file, execute the statements that it contains by using it
as input to the mysql program:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 > tmpfile
shell> ... edit tmpfile ...
shell> mysql -u root -p < tmpfile
When mysqlbinlog is invoked with the --start-position option, it
displays only those events with an offset in the binary log greater
than or equal to a given position (the given position must match the
start of one event). It also has options to stop and start when it sees
an event with a given date and time. This enables you to perform
point-in-time recovery using the --stop-datetime option (to be able to
say, for example, "roll forward my databases to how they were today at
10:30 a.m.").
If you have more than one binary log to execute on the MySQL server,
the safe method is to process them all using a single connection to the
server. Here is an example that demonstrates what may be unsafe:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p # DANGER!!
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p # DANGER!!
Processing binary logs this way using multiple connections to the
server causes problems if the first log file contains a CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE statement and the second log contains a statement that
uses the temporary table. When the first mysql process terminates, the
server drops the temporary table. When the second mysql process
attempts to use the table, the server reports "unknown table."
To avoid problems like this, use a single mysql process to execute the
contents of all binary logs that you want to process. Here is one way
to do so:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p
Another approach is to write all the logs to a single file and then
process the file:
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 > /tmp/statements.sql
shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 >> /tmp/statements.sql
shell> mysql -u root -p -e "source /tmp/statements.sql"
mysqlbinlog can produce output that reproduces a LOAD DATA INFILE
operation without the original data file. mysqlbinlog copies the data
to a temporary file and writes a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement that
refers to the file. The default location of the directory where these
files are written is system-specific. To specify a directory
explicitly, use the --local-load option.
Because mysqlbinlog converts LOAD DATA INFILE statements to LOAD DATA
LOCAL INFILE statements (that is, it adds LOCAL), both the client and
the server that you use to process the statements must be configured
with the LOCAL capability enabled. See Section 6.1.6, "Security Issues
with LOAD DATA LOCAL".
Warning
The temporary files created for LOAD DATA LOCAL statements are not
automatically deleted because they are needed until you actually
execute those statements. You should delete the temporary files
yourself after you no longer need the statement log. The files can
be found in the temporary file directory and have names like
original_file_name-#-#.
MYSQLBINLOG HEX DUMP FORMAT
The --hexdump option causes mysqlbinlog to produce a hex dump of the
binary log contents:
shell> mysqlbinlog --hexdump master-bin.000001
The hex output consists of comment lines beginning with #, so the
output might look like this for the preceding command:
/*!40019 SET @@session.max_insert_delayed_threads=0*/;
/*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;

Hex dump output currently contains the elements in the following list.
This format is subject to change. (For more information about binary
log format, see MySQL Internals: The Binary Log[1].
o Position: The byte position within the log file.
o Timestamp: The event timestamp. In the example shown, '9d fc 5c 43'
is the representation of '051024 17:24:13' in hexadecimal.

| | | flag is set (if the |
| | | flags are, for |
| | | example, |
| | | '01 |
| | | 00') in a |
| | | FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT, |
| | | the log |
| | | file |
| | | has not been |
| | | properly closed. |
| | | Most probably |
| | | this |
| | | is because of a |
| | | master crash (for |
| | | example, due |

+-----+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
|02 | | Reserved for future use. |
+-----+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
|04 | LOG_EVENT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_F | Set if the event is dependent on the |

| | | example, |
| | | if the event uses |
| | | temporary tables. |
+-----+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
|08 | LOG_EVENT_SUPPRESS_USE_F | Set in some circumstances when the event is |
| | | not dependent on the default |
| | | database. |
+-----+-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+
MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT DISPLAY
The following examples illustrate how mysqlbinlog displays row events
that specify data modifications. These correspond to events with the
WRITE_ROWS_EVENT, UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT, and DELETE_ROWS_EVENT type codes.
The --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS and --verbose options may be used to
affect row event output.
Suppose that the server is using row-based binary logging and that you
execute the following sequence of statements:
CREATE TABLE t
(
id INT NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
date DATE NULL
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
START TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO t VALUES(1, 'apple', NULL);
UPDATE t SET name = 'pear', date = '2009-01-01' WHERE id = 1;
DELETE FROM t WHERE id = 1;
COMMIT;
By default, mysqlbinlog displays row events encoded as base-64 strings
using BINLOG statements. Omitting extraneous lines, the output for the
row events produced by the preceding statement sequence looks like
this:
shell> mysqlbinlog log_file

To see the row events as comments in the form of "pseudo-SQL"

will contain lines beginning with ###:

You can tell mysqlbinlog to suppress the BINLOG statements for row
events by using the --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS option. This is similar
to --base64-output=NEVER but does not exit with an error if a row event
is found. The combination of --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS and --verbose
provides a convenient way to see row events only as SQL statements:
shell> mysqlbinlog -v --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS log_file
...
# at 218
#080828 15:03:08 server id 1 end_log_pos 258 Write_rows: table id 17 flags: STMT_END_F

### DELETE FROM test.t
### WHERE
### @1=1
### @2='pear'
### @3='2009:01:01'
Note
You should not suppress BINLOG statements if you intend to
re-execute mysqlbinlog output.
The SQL statements produced by --verbose for row events are much more
readable than the corresponding BINLOG statements. However, they do not
correspond exactly to the original SQL statements that generated the
events. The following limitations apply:
o The original column names are lost and replaced by @N, where N is a
column number.
o Character set information is not available in the binary log, which
affects string column display:
o There is no distinction made between corresponding binary and
nonbinary string types (BINARY and CHAR, VARBINARY and VARCHAR,
BLOB and TEXT). The output uses a data type of STRING for
fixed-length strings and VARSTRING for variable-length strings.
o For multibyte character sets, the maximum number of bytes per
character is not present in the binary log, so the length for
string types is displayed in bytes rather than in characters.
For example, STRING(4) will be used as the data type for values
from either of these column types:
CHAR(4) CHARACTER SET latin1
CHAR(2) CHARACTER SET ucs2
o Due to the storage format for events of type UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT,
UPDATE statements are displayed with the WHERE clause preceding
the SET clause.
Proper interpretation of row events requires the information from the
format description event at the beginning of the binary log. Because
mysqlbinlog does not know in advance whether the rest of the log
contains row events, by default it displays the format description
event using a BINLOG statement in the initial part of the output.
If the binary log is known not to contain any events requiring a BINLOG
statement (that is, no row events), the --base64-output=NEVER option
can be used to prevent this header from being written.
USING MYSQLBINLOG TO BACK UP BINARY LOG FILES
By default, mysqlbinlog reads binary log files and displays their
contents in text format. This enables you to examine events within the
files more easily and to re-execute them (for example, by using the
output as input to mysql). mysqlbinlog can read log files directly
from the local file system, or, with the --read-from-remote-server
option, it can connect to a server and request binary log contents from
that server. mysqlbinlog writes text output to its standard output, or
to the file named as the value of the --result-file=file_name option if
that option is given.
As of MySQL 5.6, mysqlbinlog can read binary log files and write new
files containing the same content--that is, in binary format rather
than text format. This capability enables you to easily back up a
binary log in its original format. mysqlbinlog can make a static
backup, backing up a set of log files and stopping when the end of the
last file is reached. It can also make a continuous ("live") backup,
staying connected to the server when it reaches the end of the last log
file and continuing to copy new events as they are generated. In
continuous-backup operation, mysqlbinlog runs until the connection ends
(for example, when the server exits) or mysqlbinlog is forcibly
terminated. When the connection ends, mysqlbinlog does not wait and
retry the connection, unlike a slave replication server. To continue a
live backup after the server has been restarted, you must also restart
mysqlbinlog.
Binary log backup requires that you invoke mysqlbinlog with two options
at minimum:
o The --read-from-remote-server (or -R) option tells mysqlbinlog to
connect to a server and request its binary log. (This is similar to
a slave replication server connecting to its master server.)
o The --raw option tells mysqlbinlog to write raw (binary) output,
not text output.
Along with --read-from-remote-server, it is common to specify other
options: --host indicates where the server is running, and you may also
need to specify connection options such as --user and --password.
Several other options are useful in conjunction with --raw:
o --stop-never: Stay connected to the server after reaching the end
of the last log file and continue to read new events.
o --stop-never-slave-server-id=id: The server ID that mysqlbinlog
reports to the server when --stop-never is used. The default is
65535. This can be used to avoid a conflict with the ID of a slave
server or another mysqlbinlog process. See the section called
"SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER ID".
o --result-file: A prefix for output file names, as described later.
To back up a server's binary log files with mysqlbinlog, you must
specify file names that actually exist on the server. If you do not
know the names, connect to the server and use the SHOW BINARY LOGS
statement to see the current names. Suppose that the statement produces
this output:
mysql> SHOW BINARY LOGS;
+---------------+-----------+
| Log_name | File_size |
+---------------+-----------+
| binlog.000130 | 27459 |
| binlog.000131 | 13719 |
| binlog.000132 | 43268 |
+---------------+-----------+
With that information, you can use mysqlbinlog to back up the binary
log to the current directory as follows (enter each command on a single
line):
o To make a static backup of binlog.000130 through binlog.000132, use
either of these commands:
mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
binlog.000130 binlog.000131 binlog.000132
mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
--to-last-log binlog.000130
The first command specifies every file name explicitly. The second
names only the first file and uses --to-last-log to read through
the last. A difference between these commands is that if the server
happens to open binlog.000133 before mysqlbinlog reaches the end of
binlog.000132, the first command will not read it, but the second
command will.
o To make a live backup in which mysqlbinlog starts with
binlog.000130 to copy existing log files, then stays connected to
copy new events as the server generates them:
mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
--stop-never binlog.000130
With --stop-never, it is not necessary to specify --to-last-log to
read to the last log file because that option is implied.
Output File Naming.PP Without --raw, mysqlbinlog produces text output
and the --result-file option, if given, specifies the name of the
single file to which all output is written. With --raw, mysqlbinlog
writes one binary output file for each log file transferred from the
server. By default, mysqlbinlog writes the files in the current
directory with the same names as the original log files. To modify the
output file names, use the --result-file option. In conjunction with
--raw, the --result-file option value is treated as a prefix that
modifies the output file names.
Suppose that a server currently has binary log files named
binlog.000999 and up. If you use mysqlbinlog --raw to back up the
files, the --result-file option produces output file names as shown in
the following table. You can write the files to a specific directory by
beginning the --result-file value with the directory path. If the
--result-file value consists only of a directory name, the value must
end with the pathname separator character. Output files are overwritten
if they exist.
+---------------------+----------------------------+
|--result-file Option | Output File Names |
+---------------------+----------------------------+
|--result-file=x | xbinlog.000999 and up |
+---------------------+----------------------------+
|--result-file=/tmp/ | /tmp/binlog.000999 and up |
+---------------------+----------------------------+
|--result-file=/tmp/x | /tmp/xbinlog.000999 and up |
+---------------------+----------------------------+
Example: mysqldump + mysqlbinlog for Backup and Restore.PP The
following example describes a simple scenario that shows how to use
mysqldump and mysqlbinlog together to back up a server's data and
binary log, and how to use the backup to restore the server if data
loss occurs. The example assumes that the server is running on host
host_name and its first binary log file is named binlog.000999. Enter
each command on a single line.
Use mysqlbinlog to make a continuous backup of the binary log:
mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
--stop-never binlog.000999
Use mysqldump to create a dump file as a snapshot of the server's data.
Use --all-databases, --events, and --routines to back up all data, and
--master-data=2 to include the current binary log coordinates in the
dump file.
mysqldump --host=host_name --all-databases --events --routines --master-data=2> dump_file
Execute the mysqldump command periodically to create newer snapshots as
desired.
If data loss occurs (for example, if the server crashes), use the most
recent dump file to restore the data:
mysql --host=host_name -u root -p < dump_file
Then use the binary log backup to re-execute events that were written
after the coordinates listed in the dump file. Suppose that the
coordinates in the file look like this:
-- CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_FILE='binlog.001002', MASTER_LOG_POS=27284;
If the most recent backed-up log file is named binlog.001004,
re-execute the log events like this:
mysqlbinlog --start-position=27284 binlog.001002 binlog.001003 binlog.001004
| mysql --host=host_name -u root -p
You might find it easier to copy the backup files (dump file and binary
log files) to the server host to make it easier to perform the restore
operation, or if MySQL does not allow remote root access.
SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER ID
When invoked with the --read-from-remote-server option, mysqlbinlog
connects to a MySQL server, specifies a server ID to identify itself,
and requests binary log files from the server. You can use mysqlbinlog
to request log files from a server in several ways:
o Specify an explicitly named set of files: For each file,
mysqlbinlog connects and issues a Binlog dump command. The server
sends the file and disconnects. There is one connection per file.
o Specify the beginning file and --to-last-log: mysqlbinlog connects
and issues a Binlog dump command for all files. The server sends
all files and disconnects.
o Specify the beginning file and --stop-never (which implies
--to-last-log): mysqlbinlog connects and issues a Binlog dump
command for all files. The server sends all files, but does not
disconnect after sending the last one.
With --read-from-remote-server only, mysqlbinlog connects using a
server ID of 0, which tells the server to disconnect after sending the
last requested log file.
With --read-from-remote-server and --stop-never, mysqlbinlog connects
using a nonzero server ID, so the server does not disconnect after
sending the last log file. The server ID is 65535 by default, but this
can be changed with --stop-never-slave-server-id.
Thus, for the first two ways of requesting files, the server
disconnects because mysqlbinlog specifies a server ID of 0. It does not
disconnect if --stop-never is given because mysqlbinlog specifies a
nonzero server ID.
