SHOW BINLOG EVENTS [IN 'log_name
'] [FROMpos
] [LIMIT [offset
,]row_count
]
Shows the events in the binary log. If you do not specify
'
, the
first binary log is displayed.
log_name
'
The LIMIT
clause has the same syntax as for
the SELECT
statement. See
Section 12.2.7, “SELECT
Syntax”.
This statement is available as of MySQL 4.0.
Issuing a SHOW BINLOG EVENTS
with no LIMIT
clause could start a very
time- and resource-consuming process because the server
returns to the client the complete contents of the binary log
(which includes all statements executed by the server that
modify data). As an alternative to SHOW
BINLOG EVENTS
, use the
mysqlbinlog utility to save the binary log
to a text file for later examination and analysis. See
Section 4.6.6, “mysqlbinlog — Utility for Processing Binary Log Files”.
Events relating to the setting of variables are not included
in the output from SHOW BINLOG
EVENTS
. To get complete coverage of events within a
binary log, use
mysqlbinlog
.
