6 mysqlbinlog - utility for processing binary log files
7
9 mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...
10
12 The server´s binary log consists of files containing “events” that
13 describe modifications to database contents. The server writes these
14 files in binary format. To display their contents in text format, use
15 the mysqlbinlog utility. You can also use mysqlbinlog to display the
16 contents of relay log files written by a slave server in a replication
17 setup because relay logs have the same format as binary logs.
18
19 Invoke mysqlbinlog like this:
20
21 shell> mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...
22
23 For example, to display the contents of the binary log file named
24 binlog.000003, use this command:
25
26 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.0000003
27
28 The output includes events contained in binlog.000003. For
29 statement-based logging, event information includes the SQL statement,
30 the ID of the server on which it was executed, the timestamp when the
31 statement was executed, how much time it took, and so forth. For
32 row-based logging, the event indicates a row change rather than an SQL
33 statement.
34
35 Events are preceded by header comments that provide additional
36 information. For example:
37
38 # at 141
39 #100309 9:28:36 server id 123 end_log_pos 245
40 Query thread_id=3350 exec_time=11 error_code=0
41
42 In the first line, the number following at indicates the starting
43 position of the event in the binary log file.
44
45 The second line starts with a date and time indicating when the
46 statement started on the server where the event originated. For
47 replication, this timestamp is propagated to slave servers. server id
48 is the server_id value of the server where the event originated.
49 end_log_pos indicates where the next event starts (that is, it is the
50 end position of the current event + 1). thread_id indicates which
51 thread executed the event. exec_time is the time spent executing the
52 event, on a master server. On a slave, it is the difference of the end
53 execution time on the slave minus the beginning execution time on the
54 master. The difference serves as an indicator of how much replication
55 lags behind the master. error_code indicates the result from executing
56 the event. Zero means that no error occurred.
57
58 The output from mysqlbinlog can be re-executed (for example, by using
59 it as input to mysql) to redo the statements in the log. This is useful
60 for recovery operations after a server crash. For other usage examples,
61 see the discussion later in this section.
62
63 Normally, you use mysqlbinlog to read binary log files directly and
64 apply them to the local MariaDB server. It is also possible to read
65 binary logs from a remote server by using the --read-from-remote-server
66 option. To read remote binary logs, the connection parameter options
67 can be given to indicate how to connect to the server. These options
68 are --host, --password, --port, --protocol, --socket, and --user; they
69 are ignored except when you also use the --read-from-remote-server
70 option.
71
72 mysqlbinlog supports the following options, which can be specified on
73 the command line or in the [mysqlbinlog] and [client] option file
74 groups.
75
76 • --help, -?
77
78 Display a help message and exit.
79
80 • --base64-output[=value]
81
82 This option determines when events should be displayed encoded as
83 base-64 strings using BINLOG statements. The option has these
84 allowable values (not case sensitive):
85
86 • AUTO ("automatic") or UNSPEC ("unspecified") displays BINLOG
87 statements automatically when necessary (that is, for format
88 description events and row events). This is the default if no
89 --base64-output option is given.
90
91 Note
92 Automatic BINLOG display is the only safe behavior if you
93 intend to use the output of mysqlbinlog to re-execute
94 binary log file contents. The other option values are
95 intended only for debugging or testing purposes because
96 they may produce output that does not include all events in
97 executable form.
98
99 • ALWAYS displays BINLOG statements whenever possible. This is
100 the implied value if the option is given as --base64-output
101 without a value. Both ALWAYS and not giving a value are
102 deprecated.
103
104 • NEVER causes BINLOG statements not to be displayed.
105 mysqlbinlog exits with an error if a row event is found that
106 must be displayed using BINLOG.
107
108 • DECODE-ROWS specifies to mysqlbinlog that you intend for row
109 events to be decoded and displayed as commented SQL statements
110 by also specifying the --verbose option. Like NEVER,
111 DECODE-ROWS suppresses display of BINLOG statements, but unlike
112 NEVER, it does not exit with an error if a row event is found.
113 The --base64-output can be given as --base64-output or
114 --skip-base64-output (with the sense of AUTO or NEVER).
115
116 For examples that show the effect of --base64-output and
117 --verbose on row event output, see the section called
118 “MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT DISPLAY”.
119
120 • --binlog-row-event-max-size=path
121
122 The directory where character sets are installed.
123
124 • --character-sets-dir=path
125
126 The directory where character sets are installed.
127
128 • --database=db_name, -d db_name
129
130 This option causes mysqlbinlog to output entries from the binary
131 log (local log only) that occur while db_name has been selected as
132 the default database by USE.
133
134 The --database option for mysqlbinlog is similar to the
135 --binlog-do-db option for mysqld, but can be used to specify only
136 one database. If --database is given multiple times, only the last
137 instance is used.
138
139 The effects of this option depend on whether the statement-based or
140 row-based logging format is in use, in the same way that the
141 effects of --binlog-do-db depend on whether statement-based or
142 row-based logging is in use.
143
144 Statement-based logging. The --database option works as follows:
145
146 • While db_name is the default database, statements are output
147 whether they modify tables in db_name or a different database.
148
149 • Unless db_name is selected as the default database, statements
150 are not output, even if they modify tables in db_name.
151
152 • There is an exception for CREATE DATABASE, ALTER DATABASE, and
153 DROP DATABASE. The database being created, altered, or dropped
154 is considered to be the default database when determining
155 whether to output the statement.
156 Suppose that the binary log was created by executing these
157 statements using statement-based-logging:
158
159 INSERT INTO test.t1 (i) VALUES(100);
160 INSERT INTO db2.t2 (j) VALUES(200);
161 USE test;
162 INSERT INTO test.t1 (i) VALUES(101);
163 INSERT INTO t1 (i) VALUES(102);
164 INSERT INTO db2.t2 (j) VALUES(201);
165 USE db2;
166 INSERT INTO test.t1 (i) VALUES(103);
167 INSERT INTO db2.t2 (j) VALUES(202);
168 INSERT INTO t2 (j) VALUES(203);
169
170 mysqlbinlog --database=test does not output the first two
171 INSERT statements because there is no default database. It
172 outputs the three INSERT statements following USE test, but not
173 the three INSERT statements following USE db2.
174
175 mysqlbinlog --database=db2 does not output the first two INSERT
176 statements because there is no default database. It does not
177 output the three INSERT statements following USE test, but does
178 output the three INSERT statements following USE db2.
179
180 Row-based logging. mysqlbinlog outputs only entries that
181 change tables belonging to db_name. The default database has no
182 effect on this. Suppose that the binary log just described was
183 created using row-based logging rather than statement-based
184 logging. mysqlbinlog --database=test outputs only those
185 entries that modify t1 in the test database, regardless of
186 whether USE was issued or what the default database is. If a
187 server is running with binlog_format set to MIXED and you want
188 it to be possible to use mysqlbinlog with the --database
189 option, you must ensure that tables that are modified are in
190 the database selected by USE. (In particular, no cross-database
191 updates should be used.)
192
193 Note
194 This option did not work correctly for mysqlbinlog with
195 row-based logging prior to MySQL 5.1.37.
196
197 • --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]
198
199 Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is
200 ´d:t:o,file_name´. The default is ´d:t:o,/tmp/mysqlbinlog.trace´.
201
202 • --debug-check
203
204 Print some debugging information when the program exits.
205
206 • --debug-info
207
208 Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
209 when the program exits.
210
211 • --defaults-extra-file=name
212
213 Read this file after the global files are read.
214
215 • --defaults-file=name
216
217 Only read default options from the given file.
218
219 • --default-auth=name
220
221 Default authentication client-side plugin to use.
222
223 • --disable-log-bin, -D
224
225 Disable binary logging. This is useful for avoiding an endless loop
226 if you use the --to-last-log option and are sending the output to
227 the same MariaDB server. This option also is useful when restoring
228 after a crash to avoid duplication of the statements you have
229 logged.
230
231 This option requires that you have the SUPER privilege. It causes
232 mysqlbinlog to include a SET sql_log_bin = 0 statement in its
233 output to disable binary logging of the remaining output. The SET
234 statement is ineffective unless you have the SUPER privilege.
235
236 • --force-if-open
237
238 Force if binlog was not closed properly. Defaults to on; use
239 --skip-force-if-open to disable.
240
241 • --force-read, -f
242
243 With this option, if mysqlbinlog reads a binary log event that it
244 does not recognize, it prints a warning, ignores the event, and
245 continues. Without this option, mysqlbinlog stops if it reads such
246 an event.
247
248 • --hexdump, -H
249
250 Display a hex dump of the log in comments, as described in the
251 section called “MYSQLBINLOG HEX DUMP FORMAT”. The hex output can be
252 helpful for replication debugging.
253
254 • --host=host_name, -h host_name
255
256 Get the binary log from the MariaDB server on the given host.
257
258 • --local-load=path, -l path
259
260 Prepare local temporary files for LOAD DATA INFILE in the specified
261 directory.
262
263 • --no-defaults
264
265 Don't read default options from any option file.
266
267 • --offset=N, -o N
268
269 Skip the first N entries in the log.
270
271 • --open-files-limit=NUM
272
273 Sets the open_files_limit variable, which is used to reserve file
274 descriptors for mysqlbinlog.
275
276 • --password[=password], -p[password]
277
278 The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
279 short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option
280 and the password. If you omit the password value following the
281 --password or -p option on the command line, mysqlbinlog prompts
282 for one.
283
284 Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
285 insecure. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
286 on the command line.
287
288 • --plugin-dir=dir_name
289
290 Directory for client-side plugins.
291
292 • --print-defaults
293
294 Print the program argument list from all option files and exit.
295
296 • --port=port_num, -P port_num
297
298 The TCP/IP port number to use for connecting to a remote server, or
299 0 for default to, in order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,
300 /etc/services, built-in default (3306).
301
302 • --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}
303
304 The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is
305 useful when the other connection parameters normally would cause a
306 protocol to be used other than the one you want.
307
308 • --raw
309
310 Requires -R. Output raw binlog data instead of SQL statements.
311 Output files named after server logs.
312
313 • --read-from-remote-server, -R
314
315 Read the binary log from a MariaDB server rather than reading a
316 local log file. Any connection parameter options are ignored unless
317 this option is given as well. These options are --host, --password,
318 --port, --protocol, --socket, and --user.
319
320 This option requires that the remote server be running. It works
321 only for binary log files on the remote server, not relay log
322 files.
323
324 • --result-file=name, -r name
325
326 Direct output to the given file. With --raw this is a prefix for
327 the file names.
328
329 • --rewrite-db=name, -r name
330
331 Updates to a database with a different name than the original.
332 Example: rewrite-db='from->to'. For events that are binlogged as
333 statements, rewriting the database constitutes changing a
334 statement's default database from db1 to db2. There is no statement
335 analysis or rewrite of any kind, that is, if one specifies
336 "db1.tbl" in the statement explicitly, that occurrence won't be
337 changed to "db2.tbl". Row-based events are rewritten correctly to
338 use the new database name. Filtering (e.g. with --database=name)
339 happens after the database rewrites have been performed. If you use
340 this option on the command line and ">" has a special meaning to
341 your command interpreter, quote the value (e.g. --rewrite-
342 db="oldname->newname".
343
344 • --server-id=id
345
346 Display only those events created by the server having the given
347 server ID.
348
349 • --set-charset=charset_name
350
351 Add a SET NAMES charset_name statement to the output to specify the
352 character set to be used for processing log files.
353
354 • --short-form, -s
355
356 Display only the statements contained in the log, no extra info and
357 no row-based events. This is for testing only, and should not be
358 used in production systems. If you want to suppress base64-output,
359 consider using --base64-output=never instead.
360
361 • --socket=path, -S path
362
363 For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on
364 Windows, the name of the named pipe to use.
365
366 • --start-datetime=datetime
367
368 Start reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp
369 equal to or later than the datetime argument. The datetime value is
370 relative to the local time zone on the machine where you run
371 mysqlbinlog. The value should be in a format accepted for the
372 DATETIME or TIMESTAMP data types. For example:
373
374 shell> mysqlbinlog --start-datetime="2014-12-25 11:25:56" binlog.000003
375
376 This option is useful for point-in-time recovery.
377
378 • --start-position=N, -j N
379
380 Start reading the binary log at the first event having a position
381 equal to or greater than N. This option applies to the first log
382 file named on the command line.
383
384 This option is useful for point-in-time recovery.
385
386 • --stop-datetime=datetime
387
388 Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp
389 equal to or later than the datetime argument. This option is useful
390 for point-in-time recovery. See the description of the
391 --start-datetime option for information about the datetime value.
392
393 This option is useful for point-in-time recovery.
394
395 • --stop-never
396
397 Wait for more data from the server instead of stopping at the end
398 of the last log. Implies --to-last-log.
399
400 • --stop-never-slave-server-id
401
402 The slave server_id used for --read-from-remote-server --stop-
403 never.
404
405 • --stop-position=N
406
407 Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a position
408 equal to or greater than N. This option applies to the last log
409 file named on the command line.
410
411 This option is useful for point-in-time recovery.
412
413 • --table, -T
414
415 List entries for just this table (local log only).
416
417 • --to-last-log, -t
418
419 Do not stop at the end of the requested binary log from a MariaDB
420 server, but rather continue printing until the end of the last
421 binary log. If you send the output to the same MariaDB server, this
422 may lead to an endless loop, so this option requires
423 --read-from-remote-server.
424
425 • --user=user_name, -u user_name
426
427 The MariaDB username to use when connecting to a remote server.
428
429 • --verbose, -v
430
431 Reconstruct row events and display them as commented SQL
432 statements. If this option is given twice, the output includes
433 comments to indicate column data types and some metadata.
434
435 For examples that show the effect of --base64-output and --verbose
436 on row event output, see the section called “MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT
437 DISPLAY”.
438
439 • --version, -V
440
441 Display version information and exit.
442
443 You can also set the following variable by using --var_name=value
444 syntax:
445
446 • open_files_limit
447
448 Specify the number of open file descriptors to reserve.
449
450 You can pipe the output of mysqlbinlog into the mysql client to execute
451 the events contained in the binary log. This technique is used to
452 recover from a crash when you have an old backup. For example:
453
454 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p
455
456 Or:
457
458 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.[0-9]* | mysql -u root -p
459
460 You can also redirect the output of mysqlbinlog to a text file instead,
461 if you need to modify the statement log first (for example, to remove
462 statements that you do not want to execute for some reason). After
463 editing the file, execute the statements that it contains by using it
464 as input to the mysql program:
465
466 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 > tmpfile
467 shell> ... edit tmpfile ...
468 shell> mysql -u root -p < tmpfile
469
470 When mysqlbinlog is invoked with the --start-position option, it
471 displays only those events with an offset in the binary log greater
472 than or equal to a given position (the given position must match the
473 start of one event). It also has options to stop and start when it sees
474 an event with a given date and time. This enables you to perform
475 point-in-time recovery using the --stop-datetime option (to be able to
476 say, for example, “roll forward my databases to how they were today at
477 10:30 a.m.”).
478
479 If you have more than one binary log to execute on the MariaDB server,
480 the safe method is to process them all using a single connection to the
481 server. Here is an example that demonstrates what may be unsafe:
482
483 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p # DANGER!!
484 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p # DANGER!!
485
486 Processing binary logs this way using different connections to the
487 server causes problems if the first log file contains a CREATE
488 TEMPORARY TABLE statement and the second log contains a statement that
489 uses the temporary table. When the first mysql process terminates, the
490 server drops the temporary table. When the second mysql process
491 attempts to use the table, the server reports “unknown table.”
492
493 To avoid problems like this, use a single mysql process to execute the
494 contents of all binary logs that you want to process. Here is one way
495 to do so:
496
497 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p
498
499 Another approach is to write all the logs to a single file and then
500 process the file:
501
502 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 > /tmp/statements.sql
503 shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 >> /tmp/statements.sql
504 shell> mysql -u root -p -e "source /tmp/statements.sql"
505
506 mysqlbinlog can produce output that reproduces a LOAD DATA INFILE
507 operation without the original data file. mysqlbinlog copies the data
508 to a temporary file and writes a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE statement that
509 refers to the file. The default location of the directory where these
510 files are written is system-specific. To specify a directory
511 explicitly, use the --local-load option.
512
513 Because mysqlbinlog converts LOAD DATA INFILE statements to LOAD DATA
514 LOCAL INFILE statements (that is, it adds LOCAL), both the client and
515 the server that you use to process the statements must be configured
516 with the LOCAL capability enabled.
517
518 Warning
519 The temporary files created for LOAD DATA LOCAL statements are not
520 automatically deleted because they are needed until you actually
521 execute those statements. You should delete the temporary files
522 yourself after you no longer need the statement log. The files can
523 be found in the temporary file directory and have names like
524 original_file_name-#-#.
525
527 The --hexdump option causes mysqlbinlog to produce a hex dump of the
528 binary log contents:
529
530 shell> mysqlbinlog --hexdump master-bin.000001
531
532 The hex output consists of comment lines beginning with #, so the
533 output might look like this for the preceding command:
534
535 /*!40019 SET @@session.max_insert_delayed_threads=0*/;
536 /*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;

717 The following examples illustrate how mysqlbinlog displays row events
718 that specify data modifications. These correspond to events with the
719 WRITE_ROWS_EVENT, UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT, and DELETE_ROWS_EVENT type codes.
720 The --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS and --verbose options may be used to
721 affect row event output.
722
723 Suppose that the server is using row-based binary logging and that you
724 execute the following sequence of statements:
725
726 CREATE TABLE t
727 (
728 id INT NOT NULL,
729 name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
730 date DATE NULL
731 ) ENGINE = InnoDB;
732 START TRANSACTION;
733 INSERT INTO t VALUES(1, ´apple´, NULL);
734 UPDATE t SET name = ´pear´, date = ´2009-01-01´ WHERE id = 1;
735 DELETE FROM t WHERE id = 1;
736 COMMIT;
737
738 By default, mysqlbinlog displays row events encoded as base-64 strings
739 using BINLOG statements. Omitting extraneous lines, the output for the
740 row events produced by the preceding statement sequence looks like
741 this:
742

858 You can tell mysqlbinlog to suppress the BINLOG statements for row
859 events by using the --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS option. This is similar
860 to --base64-output=NEVER but does not exit with an error if a row event
861 is found. The combination of --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS and --verbose
862 provides a convenient way to see row events only as SQL statements:
863
864 shell> mysqlbinlog -v --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS log_file
865 ...
866 # at 218
867 #080828 15:03:08 server id 1 end_log_pos 258 Write_rows: table id 17 flags: STMT_END_F

876 ### UPDATE test.t

882 ### @1=1
883 ### @2=´pear´
884 ### @3=´2009:01:01´
885 ...
886 # at 400
887 #080828 15:03:08 server id 1 end_log_pos 442 Delete_rows: table id 17 flags: STMT_END_F
888 ### DELETE FROM test.t
889 ### WHERE
890 ### @1=1
891 ### @2=´pear´
892 ### @3=´2009:01:01´
893
894
895 Note
896 You should not suppress BINLOG statements if you intend to
897 re-execute mysqlbinlog output.
898
899 The SQL statements produced by --verbose for row events are much more
900 readable than the corresponding BINLOG statements. However, they do not
901 correspond exactly to the original SQL statements that generated the
902 events. The following limitations apply:
903
904 • The original column names are lost and replaced by @N, where N is a
905 column number.
906
907 • Character set information is not available in the binary log, which
908 affects string column display:
909
910 • There is no distinction made between corresponding binary and
911 nonbinary string types (BINARY and CHAR, VARBINARY and VARCHAR,
912 BLOB and TEXT). The output uses a data type of STRING for
913 fixed-length strings and VARSTRING for variable-length strings.
914
915 • For multi-byte character sets, the maximum number of bytes per
916 character is not present in the binary log, so the length for
917 string types is displayed in bytes rather than in characters.
918 For example, STRING(4) will be used as the data type for values
919 from either of these column types:
920
921 CHAR(4) CHARACTER SET latin1
922 CHAR(2) CHARACTER SET ucs2
923
924 • Due to the storage format for events of type UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT,
925 UPDATE statements are displayed with the WHERE clause preceding
926 the SET clause.
927
928 Proper interpretation of row events requires the information from the
929 format description event at the beginning of the binary log. Because
930 mysqlbinlog does not know in advance whether the rest of the log
931 contains row events, by default it displays the format description
932 event using a BINLOG statement in the initial part of the output.
933
934 If the binary log is known not to contain any events requiring a BINLOG
935 statement (that is, no row events), the --base64-output=NEVER option
936 can be used to prevent this header from being written.
