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 replica 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\ \&5.4.4, \(lqThe Binary Log\(rq, and
Section\ \&16.2.4, \(lqRelay Log and Replication Metadata Repositories\(rq\&.
.PP
Invoke
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
like this:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog [\fIoptions\fR] \fIlog_file\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
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000003
.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\ \&16.2.1, \(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 replica 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 source server\&. On a replica, it is the difference of the end execution time on the replica minus the beginning execution time on the source\&. The difference serves as an indicator of how much replication lags behind the source\&.
error_code
indicates the result from executing the event\&. Zero means that no error occurred\&.
.if n \{\
.sp
.\}

.it 1 an-trap
.nr an-no-space-flag 1
.nr an-break-flag 1
.br
.ps +1
\fBNote\fR
.ps -1
.br
.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 an unexpected server exit\&. For other usage examples, see the discussion later in this section and in
Section\ \&7.5, \(lqPoint-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery\(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\&.
.PP
When running
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
against a large binary log, be careful that the filesystem has enough space for the resulting files\&. To configure the directory that
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
uses for temporary files, use the
TMPDIR
environment variable\&.
.PP
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
sets the value of
pseudo_slave_mode
to true before executing any SQL statements\&. This system variable affects the handling of XA transactions\&.
.PP
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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\ \&4.2.2.2, \(lqUsing Option Files\(rq\&.

.sp
The effective default and minimum values for this option depend on whether
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
is run in blocking mode or non\-blocking mode\&. When
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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\&.

\fB\-\-database=\fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR,

This option causes
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to output entries from the binary log (local log only) that occur while
\fIdb_name\fR
is been selected as the default database by
USE\&.
.sp
The
\fB\-\-database\fR
option for
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
is similar to the
\fB\-\-binlog\-do\-db\fR
option for
\fBmysqld\fR, but can be used to specify only one database\&. If
\fB\-\-database\fR
is given multiple times, only the last instance is used\&.
.sp
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
\fB\-\-binlog\-do\-db\fR
depend on whether statement\-based or row\-based logging is in use\&.
.PP
\fBStatement-based logging\fR. The
\fB\-\-database\fR
option works as follows:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\

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

While
\fIdb_name\fR
is the default database, statements are output whether they modify tables in
\fIdb_name\fR
or a different database\&.

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

Unless
\fIdb_name\fR
is selected as the default database, statements are not output, even if they modify tables in
\fIdb_name\fR\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
There is an exception for
CREATE DATABASE,
ALTER DATABASE, and
DROP DATABASE\&. The database being
\fIcreated, altered, or dropped\fR
is considered to be the default database when determining whether to output the statement\&.
.RE
.sp
Suppose that the binary log was created by executing these statements using statement\-based\-logging:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
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);
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
\fBmysqlbinlog \-\-database=test\fR
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\&.
.sp
\fBmysqlbinlog \-\-database=db2\fR
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\&.
.PP
\fBRow-based logging\fR. \fBmysqlbinlog\fR
outputs only entries that change tables belonging to
\fIdb_name\fR\&. 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\&.
\fBmysqlbinlog \-\-database=test\fR
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
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
with the
\fB\-\-database\fR
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\&.)
.sp
When used together with the
\fB\-\-rewrite\-db\fR
option, the
\fB\-\-rewrite\-db\fR
option is applied first; then the
\fB\-\-database\fR
option is applied, using the rewritten database name\&. The order in which the options are provided makes no difference in this regard\&.

You can pipe the output of

into the
\fBmysql\fR
client to execute the events contained in the binary log\&. This technique is used to recover from an unexpected exit when you have an old backup (see
Section\ \&7.5, \(lqPoint-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery\(rq)\&. For example:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000001 | mysql \-u root \-p
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE

Or:
.sp

.nf
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.[0\-9]* | mysql \-u root \-p
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
If the statements produced by
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
may contain
BLOB
values, these may cause problems when
\fBmysql\fR
processes them\&. In this case, invoke
\fBmysql\fR
with the
\fB\-\-binary\-mode\fR
option\&.
.PP
You can also redirect the output of
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
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
\fBmysql\fR
program:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000001 > tmpfile
\&.\&.\&. \fIedit tmpfile\fR \&.\&.\&.
mysql \-u root \-p < tmpfile
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
When
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
is invoked with the
\fB\-\-start\-position\fR
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
\fB\-\-stop\-datetime\fR
option (to be able to say, for example,
\(lqroll forward my databases to how they were today at 10:30 a\&.m\&.\(rq)\&.
.PP
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
\fIunsafe\fR:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000001 | mysql \-u root \-p # DANGER!!
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000002 | mysql \-u root \-p # DANGER!!
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
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
\fBmysql\fR
process terminates, the server drops the temporary table\&. When the second
\fBmysql\fR
process attempts to use the table, the server reports
\(lqunknown table\&.\(rq
.PP
To avoid problems like this, use a
\fIsingle\fR
\fBmysql\fR
process to execute the contents of all binary logs that you want to process\&. Here is one way to do so:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000001 binlog\&.000002 | mysql \-u root \-p
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Another approach is to write all the logs to a single file and then process the file:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000001 >  /tmp/statements\&.sql
mysqlbinlog binlog\&.000002 >> /tmp/statements\&.sql
mysql \-u root \-p \-e "source /tmp/statements\&.sql"
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
can produce output that reproduces a
LOAD DATA
operation without the original data file\&.
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
copies the data to a temporary file and writes a
LOAD DATA LOCAL
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
\fB\-\-local\-load\fR
option\&.
.PP
Because
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
converts
LOAD DATA
statements to
LOAD DATA LOCAL
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, \(lqSecurity Considerations for LOAD DATA LOCAL\(rq\&.

The temporary files created for

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)
is used as the data type for values from either of these column types:

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

\fBmysqlbinlog\fR

mysqlbinlog Backup Capabilities
.PP
\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 replica server\&. To continue a live backup after the server has been restarted, you must also restart
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR\&.
mysqlbinlog Backup Options
.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

\fB\-R\fR) option tells
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
to connect to a server and request its binary log\&. (This is similar to a replica replication server connecting to its source server\&.)

.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\&.

\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 replica server or another
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR

.RE
Static and Live Backups
.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 \{\

.if n \{\

With that information, you can use
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR

.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

  \-\-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 does not read it, but the second command does\&.

\fBmysqlbinlog\fR

With

.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

\fBmysqlbinlog \-\-raw\fR
to back up the files, the
\fB\-\-result\-file\fR

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 \{\

.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 unexpectedly exits), 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

Prior to MySQL 5\&.7\&.19,
\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
does not get all events as they are committed, even if the server is configured with

\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\&.
