.SH "NAME"
mysqlbinlog \- utility for processing binary log files
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBmysqlbinlog\ [\fR\fBoptions\fR\fB]\ \fR\fB\fIlog_file\fR\fR\fB\ \&.\&.\&.\fR\ 'u
\fBmysqlbinlog [\fR\fBoptions\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIlog_file\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The server\*(Aqs binary log consists of files containing
\(lqevents\(rq
that describe modifications to database contents\&. The server writes these files in binary format\&. To display their contents in text format, use the
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
utility\&. You can also use
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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, \(lqThe Binary Log\(rq, and
Section\ \&17.2.2, \(lqReplication Relay and Status Logs\(rq\&.
.PP
Invoke
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
like this:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmysqlbinlog [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIlog_file\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
For example, to display the contents of the binary log file named
binlog\&.000003, use this command:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog\&.0000003\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
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, \(lqReplication Formats\(rq, for information about logging modes\&.
.PP
Events are preceded by header comments that provide additional information\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# at 141
#100309  9:28:36 server id 123  end_log_pos 245
  Query thread_id=3350  exec_time=11  error_code=0
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
In the first line, the number following
at
indicates the file offset, or starting position, of the event in the binary log file\&.
.PP
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\&.

.PP
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\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.PP
The output from
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
can be re\-executed (for example, by using it as input to
\fBmysql\fR) 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, \(lqPoint-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery Using the Binary Log\(rq\&.
.PP
Normally, you use
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
option\&. To read remote binary logs, the connection parameter options can be given to indicate how to connect to the server\&. These options are
\fB\-\-host\fR,
\fB\-\-password\fR,
\fB\-\-port\fR,
\fB\-\-protocol\fR,
\fB\-\-socket\fR, and
\fB\-\-user\fR; they are ignored except when you also use the

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

Processing binary logs this way using multiple connections to the server causes problems if the first log file contains a
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE

\fBmysql\fR

\(lqunknown table\&.\(rq
.PP
To avoid problems like this, use a

.sp
.if n \{\

\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
can produce output that reproduces a

.PP
Because
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
converts

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE

The SQL statements produced by

.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3

The original column names are lost and replaced by

\fIN\fR

Character set information is not available in the binary log, which affects string column display:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
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

.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\

.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3

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:
.sp
.if n \{\

Proper interpretation of row events requires the information from the format description event at the beginning of the binary log\&. Because
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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\&.
.PP
If the binary log is known not to contain any events requiring a
BINLOG
statement (that is, no row events), the
\fB\-\-base64\-output=NEVER\fR
option can be used to prevent this header from being written\&.
.SH "USING MYSQLBINLOG TO BACK UP BINARY LOG FILES"

By default,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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
\fBmysql\fR)\&.
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
can read log files directly from the local file system, or, with the
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
option, it can connect to a server and request binary log contents from that server\&.
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
writes text output to its standard output, or to the file named as the value of the
\fB\-\-result\-file=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
option if that option is given\&.
.PP
As of MySQL 5\&.6,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
can read binary log files and write new files containing the same content\(emthat is, in binary format rather than text format\&. This capability enables you to easily back up a binary log in its original format\&.
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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 (\(lqlive\(rq) 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,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
runs until the connection ends (for example, when the server exits) or
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
is forcibly terminated\&. When the connection ends,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR\&.
.PP
Binary log backup requires that you invoke
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
with two options at minimum:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
The
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
(or
\fB\-R\fR) option tells
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to connect to a server and request its binary log\&. (This is similar to a slave replication server connecting to its master server\&.)
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
The
\fB\-\-raw\fR
option tells
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to write raw (binary) output, not text output\&.
.RE
.PP
Along with
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR, it is common to specify other options:
\fB\-\-host\fR
indicates where the server is running, and you may also need to specify connection options such as
\fB\-\-user\fR
and
\fB\-\-password\fR\&.
.PP
Several other options are useful in conjunction with
\fB\-\-raw\fR:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fB\-\-stop\-never\fR: Stay connected to the server after reaching the end of the last log file and continue to read new events\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fB\-\-stop\-never\-slave\-server\-id=\fR\fB\fIid\fR\fR: The server ID that
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
reports to the server when
\fB\-\-stop\-never\fR
is used\&. The default is 65535\&. This can be used to avoid a conflict with the ID of a slave server or another
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
process\&. See
the section called \(lqSPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER ID\(rq\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR: A prefix for output file names, as described later\&.
.RE
.PP
To back up a server\*(Aqs binary log files with
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR, 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:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysql> \fBSHOW BINARY LOGS;\fR

+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-+
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
With that information, you can use
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to back up the binary log to the current directory as follows (enter each command on a single line):
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
To make a static backup of
binlog\&.000130
through
binlog\&.000132, use either of these commands:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog \-\-read\-from\-remote\-server \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-\-raw
  binlog\&.000130 binlog\&.000131 binlog\&.000132
mysqlbinlog \-\-read\-from\-remote\-server \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-\-raw
  \-\-to\-last\-log binlog\&.000130
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
The first command specifies every file name explicitly\&. The second names only the first file and uses
\fB\-\-to\-last\-log\fR
to read through the last\&. A difference between these commands is that if the server happens to open
binlog\&.000133
before
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
reaches the end of
binlog\&.000132, the first command will not read it, but the second command will\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
To make a live backup in which
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
starts with
binlog\&.000130
to copy existing log files, then stays connected to copy new events as the server generates them:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog \-\-read\-from\-remote\-server \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-\-raw
  \-\-stop\-never binlog\&.000130
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
With
\fB\-\-stop\-never\fR, it is not necessary to specify
\fB\-\-to\-last\-log\fR
to read to the last log file because that option is implied\&.
.RE
Output File Naming.PP
Without
\fB\-\-raw\fR,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
produces text output and the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR
option, if given, specifies the name of the single file to which all output is written\&. With
\fB\-\-raw\fR,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
writes one binary output file for each log file transferred from the server\&. By default,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
writes the files in the current directory with the same names as the original log files\&. To modify the output file names, use the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR
option\&. In conjunction with
\fB\-\-raw\fR, the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR
option value is treated as a prefix that modifies the output file names\&.
.PP
Suppose that a server currently has binary log files named
binlog\&.000999
and up\&. If you use
\fBmysqlbinlog \-\-raw\fR
to back up the files, the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR
option produces output file names as shown in the following table\&. You can write the files to a specific directory by beginning the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR
value with the directory path\&. If the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR
value consists only of a directory name, the value must end with the pathname separator character\&. Output files are overwritten if they exist\&.

Example: mysqldump + mysqlbinlog for Backup and Restore.PP
The following example describes a simple scenario that shows how to use
\fBmysqldump\fR
and
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
together to back up a server\*(Aqs 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
\fIhost_name\fR
and its first binary log file is named
binlog\&.000999\&. Enter each command on a single line\&.
.PP
Use
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to make a continuous backup of the binary log:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog \-\-read\-from\-remote\-server \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-\-raw
  \-\-stop\-never binlog\&.000999
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Use
\fBmysqldump\fR
to create a dump file as a snapshot of the server\*(Aqs data\&. Use
\fB\-\-all\-databases\fR,
\fB\-\-events\fR, and
\fB\-\-routines\fR
to back up all data, and
\fB\-\-master\-data=2\fR
to include the current binary log coordinates in the dump file\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqldump \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-\-all\-databases \-\-events \-\-routines \-\-master\-data=2> \fIdump_file\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Execute the
\fBmysqldump\fR
command periodically to create newer snapshots as desired\&.
.PP
If data loss occurs (for example, if the server crashes), use the most recent dump file to restore the data:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysql \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-u root \-p < \fIdump_file\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
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:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
\-\- CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_FILE=\*(Aqbinlog\&.001002\*(Aq, MASTER_LOG_POS=27284;
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
If the most recent backed\-up log file is named
binlog\&.001004, re\-execute the log events like this:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog \-\-start\-position=27284 binlog\&.001002 binlog\&.001003 binlog\&.001004
  | mysql \-\-host=\fIhost_name\fR \-u root \-p
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
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\&.
.SH "SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER ID"
.PP
When invoked with the
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
option,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
connects to a MySQL server, specifies a server ID to identify itself, and requests binary log files from the server\&. You can use
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to request log files from a server in several ways:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Specify an explicitly named set of files: For each file,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
connects and issues a
Binlog dump
command\&. The server sends the file and disconnects\&. There is one connection per file\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Specify the beginning file and
\fB\-\-to\-last\-log\fR:
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
connects and issues a
Binlog dump
command for all files\&. The server sends all files and disconnects\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Specify the beginning file and
\fB\-\-stop\-never\fR
(which implies
\fB\-\-to\-last\-log\fR):
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
connects and issues a
Binlog dump
command for all files\&. The server sends all files, but does not disconnect after sending the last one\&.
.RE
.PP
With
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
only,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
connects using a server ID of 0, which tells the server to disconnect after sending the last requested log file\&.
.PP
With
\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
and
\fB\-\-stop\-never\fR,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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
\fB\-\-stop\-never\-slave\-server\-id\fR\&.
.PP
Thus, for the first two ways of requesting files, the server disconnects because
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
specifies a server ID of 0\&. It does not disconnect if
\fB\-\-stop\-never\fR
is given because
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
specifies a nonzero server ID\&.
