NAME

6       mariadb-binlog - utility for processing binary log files (mysqlbinlog
7       is now a symlink to mariadb-binlog)
8

SYNOPSIS

10       mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...
11

DESCRIPTION

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

MYSQLBINLOG HEX DUMP FORMAT

523       The --hexdump option causes mysqlbinlog to produce a hex dump of the
524       binary log contents:
525
526           shell> mysqlbinlog --hexdump master-bin.000001
527
528       The hex output consists of comment lines beginning with #, so the
529       output might look like this for the preceding command:
530
531           /*!40019 SET @@session.max_insert_delayed_threads=0*/;
532           /*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;

544           ROLLBACK;

546       Hex dump output currently contains the elements in the following list.
547       This format is subject to change. (For more information about binary
548       log format, see

551       •   Position: The byte position within the log file.
552
553       •   Timestamp: The event timestamp. In the example shown, ´9d fc 5c 43´
554           is the representation of ´051024 17:24:13´ in hexadecimal.
555
556       •   Type: The event type code. In the example shown, ´0f´ indicates a
557           FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT. The following table lists the possible

MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT DISPLAY

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

762       To see the row events as comments in the form of “pseudo-SQL”
763       statements, run mysqlbinlog with the --verbose or -v option. The output
764       will contain lines beginning with ###:

854       You can tell mysqlbinlog to suppress the BINLOG statements for row
855       events by using the --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS option. This is similar
856       to --base64-output=NEVER but does not exit with an error if a row event
857       is found. The combination of --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS and --verbose
858       provides a convenient way to see row events only as SQL statements:
859
860           shell> mysqlbinlog -v --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS log_file

891           Note
892           You should not suppress BINLOG statements if you intend to
893           re-execute mysqlbinlog output.

895       The SQL statements produced by --verbose for row events are much more
896       readable than the corresponding BINLOG statements. However, they do not
897       correspond exactly to the original SQL statements that generated the
898       events. The following limitations apply:
899
900       •   The original column names are lost and replaced by @N, where N is a
901           column number.
902
903       •   Character set information is not available in the binary log, which
904           affects string column display:
905
906           •   There is no distinction made between corresponding binary and
907               nonbinary string types (BINARY and CHAR, VARBINARY and VARCHAR,
908               BLOB and TEXT). The output uses a data type of STRING for
909               fixed-length strings and VARSTRING for variable-length strings.
910
911           •   For multi-byte character sets, the maximum number of bytes per
912               character is not present in the binary log, so the length for
913               string types is displayed in bytes rather than in characters.
914               For example, STRING(4) will be used as the data type for values
915               from either of these column types:
916
917                   CHAR(4) CHARACTER SET latin1
918                   CHAR(2) CHARACTER SET ucs2
919
920           •   Due to the storage format for events of type UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT,
921               UPDATE statements are displayed with the WHERE clause preceding
922               the SET clause.
923
924       Proper interpretation of row events requires the information from the
925       format description event at the beginning of the binary log. Because
926       mysqlbinlog does not know in advance whether the rest of the log
927       contains row events, by default it displays the format description
928       event using a BINLOG statement in the initial part of the output.
929
930       If the binary log is known not to contain any events requiring a BINLOG
931       statement (that is, no row events), the --base64-output=NEVER option
932       can be used to prevent this header from being written.
