SHOW BINLOG EVENTS
Synopsis
SHOW BINLOG EVENTS [IN 'log_filename
'] [FROMposition
] [LIMIT [offset
,]count
]
This statement displays the events in a binary log file. Use
the IN
clause to specify a particular log file. If the
IN
clause is omitted, the current file is used. To
obtain a list of binary log files, use the SHOW MASTER LOGS statement. Here is an example of how you can
use this statement and typical results:
SHOW BINLOG EVENTS IN 'log-bin.000161'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Log_name: log-bin.000161 Pos: 4 Event_type: Start Server_id: 1 Orig_log_pos: 4 Info: Server ver: 4.1.7-standard-log, Binlog ver: 3 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This log file has only one row of data because the SQL statement
was run shortly after the server was started. For a larger log file
recording many rows of events, the results take a long time and drain
system resources significantly. To minimize this, you can focus and
limit the results with the FROM
and
LIMIT
clauses. In the results, notice the Pos
label
with a value of 4. In a large log file, that number might be in the
thousands. The results displayed could be focused only on rows
starting from a particular position in the log with the
FROM
clause. You can limit the number of rows of
events displayed with the LIMIT
clause. In the
LIMIT
clause, you can also set the starting point of the output based on the number of rows in the results set and limit them to a certain number of rows. Here is an example of both of ...
