MYSQLBINLOG(1)               MySQL Database System              MYSQLBINLOG(1)



NAME
       mysqlbinlog - utility for processing binary log files

SYNOPSIS
       mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...

DESCRIPTION
       The server's binary log consists of files containing "events" that
       describe modifications to database contents. The server writes these
       files in binary format. To display their contents in text format, use
       the mysqlbinlog utility. You can also use mysqlbinlog 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, "The
       Binary Log", and Section 17.2.2, "Replication Relay and Status Logs".

       Invoke mysqlbinlog like this:

           shell> mysqlbinlog [options] log_file ...

       For example, to display the contents of the binary log file named
       binlog.000003, use this command:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.0000003

       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, "Replication Formats", for information
       about logging modes.

       Events are preceded by header comments that provide additional
       information. For example:

           # at 141
           #100309  9:28:36 server id 123  end_log_pos 245
             Query thread_id=3350  exec_time=11  error_code=0

       In the first line, the number following at indicates the file offset,
       or starting position, of the event in the binary log file.

       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.

           Note
           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.

       The output from mysqlbinlog can be re-executed (for example, by using
       it as input to mysql) 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, "Point-in-
       Time (Incremental) Recovery Using the Binary Log".

       Normally, you use mysqlbinlog 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 --read-from-remote-server
       option. To read remote binary logs, the connection parameter options
       can be given to indicate how to connect to the server. These options
       are --host, --password, --port, --protocol, --socket, and --user; they
       are ignored except when you also use the --read-from-remote-server
       option.

       mysqlbinlog 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, see Section 4.2.6,
       "Using Option Files".

       o   --help, -?

           Display a help message and exit.

       o   --base64-output=value

           This option determines when events should be displayed encoded as
           base-64 strings using BINLOG statements. The option has these
           permissible values (not case sensitive):

           o   AUTO ("automatic") or UNSPEC ("unspecified") displays BINLOG
               statements automatically when necessary (that is, for format
               description events and row events). If no --base64-output
               option is given, the effect is the same as
               --base64-output=AUTO.

                   Note
                   Automatic BINLOG display is the only safe behavior if you
                   intend to use the output of mysqlbinlog to re-execute
                   binary log file contents. The other option values are
                   intended only for debugging or testing purposes because
                   they may produce output that does not include all events in
                   executable form.

           o   NEVER causes BINLOG statements not to be displayed.
               mysqlbinlog exits with an error if a row event is found that
               must be displayed using BINLOG.

           o   DECODE-ROWS specifies to mysqlbinlog that you intend for row
               events to be decoded and displayed as commented SQL statements
               by also specifying the --verbose option. Like NEVER,
               DECODE-ROWS suppresses display of BINLOG statements, but unlike
               NEVER, it does not exit with an error if a row event is found.

           For examples that show the effect of --base64-output and --verbose
           on row event output, see the section called "MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT
           DISPLAY".

       o   --bind-address=ip_address

           On a computer having multiple network interfaces, use this option
           to select which interface to use for connecting to the MySQL
           server.

           This option is supported beginning with MySQL 5.6.1.

       o   --binlog-row-event-max-size=N

           +-------------+--------------+----------------------+
           Specify the maximum size of a row-based binary log event, in bytes.
           Rows are grouped into events smaller than this size if possible.
           The value should be a multiple of 256. The default is 4GB.

       o   --character-sets-dir=path

           The directory where character sets are installed. See Section 10.5,
           "Character Set Configuration".

       o   --connection-server-id=server_id

           This option is used to test a MySQL server for support of the
           BINLOG_DUMP_NON_BLOCK connection flag, which was inadvertently
           removed in MySQL 5.6.5, and restored in MySQL 5.6.20 (Bug
           #18000079, Bug #71178). It is not required for normal operation.

           The effective default and minimum values for this option depend on
           whether mysqlbinlog is run in blocking mode or non-blocking mode.
           When mysqlbinlog 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.

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.20.

       o   --database=db_name, -d db_name

           This option causes mysqlbinlog to output entries from the binary
           log (local log only) that occur while db_name is been selected as
           the default database by USE.

           The --database option for mysqlbinlog is similar to the
           --binlog-do-db option for mysqld, but can be used to specify only
           one database. If --database is given multiple times, only the last
           instance is used.

           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 --binlog-do-db depend on whether statement-based or
           row-based logging is in use.

           Statement-based logging. The --database option works as follows:

           o   While db_name is the default database, statements are output
               whether they modify tables in db_name or a different database.

           o   Unless db_name is selected as the default database, statements
               are not output, even if they modify tables in db_name.

           o   There is an exception for CREATE DATABASE, ALTER DATABASE, and
               DROP DATABASE. The database being created, altered, or dropped
               is considered to be the default database when determining
               whether to output the statement.

           Suppose that the binary log was created by executing these
           statements using statement-based-logging:

               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);

           mysqlbinlog --database=test 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.

           mysqlbinlog --database=db2 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.

           Row-based logging.  mysqlbinlog outputs only entries that change
           tables belonging to db_name. 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.  mysqlbinlog
           --database=test 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 mysqlbinlog with the
           --database 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.)

           Prior to MySQL 5.6.10, the --database option did not work correctly
           with a log written by a GTID-enabled MySQL server. (Bug #15912728)

       o   --debug[=debug_options], -# [debug_options]

           Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is
           d:t:o,file_name. The default is d:t:o,/tmp/mysqlbinlog.trace.

       o   --debug-check

           Print some debugging information when the program exits.

       o   --debug-info

           Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
           when the program exits.

       o   --default-auth=plugin

           The client-side authentication plugin to use. See Section 6.3.7,
           "Pluggable Authentication".

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.2.

       o   --defaults-extra-file=file_name

           Read this option file after the global option file but (on Unix)
           before the user option file. If the file does not exist or is
           otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs.  file_name is interpreted
           relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name
           rather than a full path name.

       o   --defaults-file=file_name

           Use only the given option file. If the file does not exist or is
           otherwise inaccessible, an error occurs.  file_name is interpreted
           relative to the current directory if given as a relative path name
           rather than a full path name.

       o   --defaults-group-suffix=str

           Read not only the usual option groups, but also groups with the
           usual names and a suffix of str. For example, mysqlbinlog normally
           reads the [client] and [mysqlbinlog] groups. If the
           --defaults-group-suffix=_other option is given, mysqlbinlog also
           reads the [client_other] and [mysqlbinlog_other] groups.

       o   --disable-log-bin, -D

           Disable binary logging. This is useful for avoiding an endless loop
           if you use the --to-last-log option and are sending the output to
           the same MySQL server. This option also is useful when restoring
           after a crash to avoid duplication of the statements you have
           logged.

           This option requires that you have the SUPER privilege. It causes
           mysqlbinlog to include a SET sql_log_bin = 0 statement in its
           output to disable binary logging of the remaining output. The SET
           statement is ineffective unless you have the SUPER privilege.

       o   --exclude-gtids=gtid_set

           Do not display any of the groups listed in the gtid_set. Added in
           MySQL 5.6.5.

       o   --force-if-open, -F

           Read binary log files even if they are open or were not closed
           properly.

       o   --force-read, -f

           With this option, if mysqlbinlog reads a binary log event that it
           does not recognize, it prints a warning, ignores the event, and
           continues. Without this option, mysqlbinlog stops if it reads such
           an event.

       o   --hexdump, -H

           Display a hex dump of the log in comments, as described in the
           section called "MYSQLBINLOG HEX DUMP FORMAT". The hex output can be
           helpful for replication debugging.

       o   --host=host_name, -h host_name

           Get the binary log from the MySQL server on the given host.

       o   --include-gtids=gtid_set

           Display only the groups listed in the gtid_set. Added in MySQL
           5.6.5.

       o   --local-load=path, -l path

           Prepare local temporary files for LOAD DATA INFILE in the specified
           directory.

               Important
               These temporary files are not automatically removed by
               mysqlbinlog or any other MySQL program.

       o   --login-path=name

           Read options from the named login path in the .mylogin.cnf login
           file. A "login path" is an option group that permits only a limited
           set of options: host, user, and password. Think of a login path as
           a set of values that indicate the server host and the credentials
           for authenticating with the server. To create the login file, use
           the mysql_config_editor utility. See mysql_config_editor(1). This
           option was added in MySQL 5.6.6.

       o   --no-defaults

           Do not read any option files. If program startup fails due to
           reading unknown options from an option file, --no-defaults can be
           used to prevent them from being read.

           The exception is that the .mylogin.cnf file, if it exists, is read
           in all cases. This permits passwords to be specified in a safer way
           than on the command line even when --no-defaults is used.
           (.mylogin.cnf is created by the mysql_config_editor utility. See
           mysql_config_editor(1).)

       o   --offset=N, -o N

           Skip the first N entries in the log.

       o   --password[=password], -p[password]

           The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the
           short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option
           and the password. If you omit the password value following the
           --password or -p option on the command line, mysqlbinlog prompts
           for one.

           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
           insecure. See Section 6.1.2.1, "End-User Guidelines for Password
           Security". You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
           on the command line.

       o   --plugin-dir=path

           The directory in which to look for plugins. It may be necessary to
           specify this option if the --default-auth option is used to specify
           an authentication plugin but mysqlbinlog does not find it. See
           Section 6.3.7, "Pluggable Authentication".

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.2.

       o   --port=port_num, -P port_num

           The TCP/IP port number to use for connecting to a remote server.

       o   --print-defaults

           Print the program name and all options that it gets from option
           files.

       o   --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}

           The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is
           useful when the other connection parameters normally would cause a
           protocol to be used other than the one you want. For details on the
           permissible values, see Section 4.2.2, "Connecting to the MySQL
           Server".

       o   --raw

           By default, mysqlbinlog reads binary log files and writes events in
           text format. The --raw option tells mysqlbinlog to write them in
           their original binary format. Its use requires that
           --read-from-remote-server also be used because the files are
           requested from a server.  mysqlbinlog writes one output file for
           each file read from the server. The --raw option can be used to
           make a backup of a server's binary log. With the --stop-never
           option, the backup is "live" because mysqlbinlog stays connected to
           the server. By default, output files are written in the current
           directory with the same names as the original log files. Output
           file names can be modified using the --result-file option. For more
           information, see the section called "USING MYSQLBINLOG TO BACK UP
           BINARY LOG FILES".

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.0.

       o   --read-from-remote-master=type

           Read binary logs from a MySQL server with the COM_BINLOG_DUMP or
           COM_BINLOG_DUMP_GTID commands by setting the option value to either
           BINLOG-DUMP-NON-GTIDS or BINLOG-DUMP-GTIDS, respectively. If
           --read-from-remote-master=BINLOG-DUMP-GTIDS is combined with
           --exclude-gtids, transactions can be filtered out on the master,
           avoiding unnecessary network traffic.

           See also the description for --read-from-remote-server.

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.5.

       o   --read-from-remote-server, -R

           Read the binary log from a MySQL server rather than reading a local
           log file. Any connection parameter options are ignored unless this
           option is given as well. These options are --host, --password,
           --port, --protocol, --socket, and --user.

           This option requires that the remote server be running. It works
           only for binary log files on the remote server, not relay log
           files.

           As of MySQL 5.6.5, this option is like
           --read-from-remote-master=BINLOG-DUMP-NON-GTIDS.

       o   --result-file=name, -r name

           Without the --raw option, this option indicates the file to which
           mysqlbinlog writes text output. With --raw, mysqlbinlog writes one
           binary output file for each log file transferred from the server,
           writing them by default in the current directory using the same
           names as the original log file. In this case, the --result-file
           option value is treated as a prefix that modifies output file
           names.

       o   --secure-auth

           Do not send passwords to the server in old (pre-4.1) format. This
           prevents connections except for servers that use the newer password
           format. This option is enabled by default; use --skip-secure-auth
           to disable it. This option was added in MySQL 5.6.17.

               Note
               Passwords that use the pre-4.1 hashing method are less secure
               than passwords that use the native password hashing method and
               should be avoided. Pre-4.1 passwords are deprecated and support
               for them will be removed in a future MySQL release. For account
               upgrade instructions, see Section 6.3.8.3, "Migrating Away from
               Pre-4.1 Password Hashing and the mysql_old_password Plugin".

       o   --server-id=id

           Display only those events created by the server having the given
           server ID.

       o   --server-id-bits=N

           Use only the first N bits of the server_id to identify the server.
           If the binary log was written by a mysqld with server-id-bits set
           to less than 32 and user data stored in the most significant bit,
           running mysqlbinlog with --server-id-bits set to 32 enables this
           data to be seen.

           This option is supported only by the versions of mysqlbinlog
           supplied with the MySQL Cluster distribution, or built from the
           MySQL Cluster sources.

       o   --set-charset=charset_name

           Add a SET NAMES charset_name statement to the output to specify the
           character set to be used for processing log files.

       o   --shared-memory-base-name=name

           On Windows, the shared-memory name to use, for connections made
           using shared memory to a local server. The default value is MYSQL.
           The shared-memory name is case sensitive.

           The server must be started with the --shared-memory option to
           enable shared-memory connections.

       o   --short-form, -s

           Display only the statements contained in the log, without any extra
           information or row-based events. This is for testing only, and
           should not be used in production systems.

       o   --skip-gtids[=(true|false)]

           Do not display any GTIDs in the output. This is needed when writing
           to a dump file from one or more binary logs containing GTIDs, as
           shown in this example:

               shell> mysqlbinlog --skip-gtids binlog.000001 >  /tmp/dump.sql
               shell> mysqlbinlog --skip-gtids binlog.000002 >> /tmp/dump.sql
               shell> mysql -u root -p -e "source /tmp/dump.sql"

           The use of this option is otherwise not normally recommended in
           production.

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.5.

       o   --socket=path, -S path

           For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on
           Windows, the name of the named pipe to use.

       o   --start-datetime=datetime

           Start reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp
           equal to or later than the datetime argument. The datetime value is
           relative to the local time zone on the machine where you run
           mysqlbinlog. The value should be in a format accepted for the
           DATETIME or TIMESTAMP data types. For example:

               shell> mysqlbinlog --start-datetime="2005-12-25 11:25:56" binlog.000003

           This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
           "Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".

       o   --start-position=N, -j N

           Start reading the binary log at the first event having a position
           equal to or greater than N. This option applies to the first log
           file named on the command line.

           This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
           "Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".

       o   --stop-datetime=datetime

           Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a timestamp
           equal to or later than the datetime argument. This option is useful
           for point-in-time recovery. See the description of the
           --start-datetime option for information about the datetime value.

           This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
           "Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".

       o   --stop-never

           This option is used with --read-from-remote-server. It tells
           mysqlbinlog to remain connected to the server. Otherwise
           mysqlbinlog exits when the last log file has been transferred from
           the server.  --stop-never implies --to-last-log, so only the first
           log file to transfer need be named on the command line.

           --stop-never is commonly used with --raw to make a live binary log
           backup, but also can be used without --raw to maintain a continuous
           text display of log events as the server generates them.

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.0.

       o   --stop-never-slave-server-id=id

           With --stop-never, mysqlbinlog reports a server ID of 65535 when it
           connects to the server.  --stop-never-slave-server-id explicitly
           specifies the server ID to report. It can be used to avoid a
           conflict with the ID of a slave server or another mysqlbinlog
           process. See the section called "SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER
           ID".

           This option was added in MySQL 5.6.0.

       o   --stop-position=N

           Stop reading the binary log at the first event having a position
           equal to or greater than N. This option applies to the last log
           file named on the command line.

           This option is useful for point-in-time recovery. See Section 7.3,
           "Example Backup and Recovery Strategy".

       o   --to-last-log, -t

           Do not stop at the end of the requested binary log from a MySQL
           server, but rather continue printing until the end of the last
           binary log. If you send the output to the same MySQL server, this
           may lead to an endless loop. This option requires
           --read-from-remote-server.

       o   --user=user_name, -u user_name

           The MySQL user name to use when connecting to a remote server.

       o   --verbose, -v

           Reconstruct row events and display them as commented SQL
           statements. If this option is given twice, the output includes
           comments to indicate column data types and some metadata.

           For examples that show the effect of --base64-output and --verbose
           on row event output, see the section called "MYSQLBINLOG ROW EVENT
           DISPLAY".

       o   --verify-binlog-checksum, -c

           Verify checksums in binary log files. This option was added in
           MySQL 5.6.1.

       o   --version, -V

           Display version information and exit.

           Prior to MySQL 5.6.11, the mysqlbinlog version number shown was
           3.3. In MySQL 5.6.11 and later, this is 3.4. (Bug #15894381, Bug
           #67643)

       You can also set the following variable by using --var_name=value
       syntax:

       o   open_files_limit

           Specify the number of open file descriptors to reserve.

       You can pipe the output of mysqlbinlog into the mysql client to execute
       the events contained in the binary log. This technique is used to
       recover from a crash when you have an old backup (see Section 7.5,
       "Point-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery Using the Binary Log"). For
       example:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p

       Or:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.[0-9]* | mysql -u root -p

       If the statements produced by mysqlbinlog may contain BLOB values,
       these may cause problems when mysql processes them. In this case,
       invoke mysql with the --binary-mode option.

       You can also redirect the output of mysqlbinlog 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 mysql program:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 > tmpfile
           shell> ... edit tmpfile ...
           shell> mysql -u root -p < tmpfile

       When mysqlbinlog is invoked with the --start-position 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 --stop-datetime option (to be able to
       say, for example, "roll forward my databases to how they were today at
       10:30 a.m.").

       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 unsafe:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql -u root -p # DANGER!!
           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p # DANGER!!

       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 mysql process terminates, the
       server drops the temporary table. When the second mysql process
       attempts to use the table, the server reports "unknown table."

       To avoid problems like this, use a single mysql process to execute the
       contents of all binary logs that you want to process. Here is one way
       to do so:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 binlog.000002 | mysql -u root -p

       Another approach is to write all the logs to a single file and then
       process the file:

           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 >  /tmp/statements.sql
           shell> mysqlbinlog binlog.000002 >> /tmp/statements.sql
           shell> mysql -u root -p -e "source /tmp/statements.sql"

       mysqlbinlog can produce output that reproduces a LOAD DATA INFILE
       operation without the original data file.  mysqlbinlog copies the data
       to a temporary file and writes a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 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 --local-load option.

       Because mysqlbinlog converts LOAD DATA INFILE statements to LOAD DATA
       LOCAL INFILE 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, "Security Issues
       with LOAD DATA LOCAL".

           Warning
           The temporary files created for LOAD DATA LOCAL statements are not
           automatically deleted because they are needed until you actually
           execute those statements. You should delete the temporary files
           yourself after you no longer need the statement log. The files can
           be found in the temporary file directory and have names like
           original_file_name-#-#.

MYSQLBINLOG HEX DUMP FORMAT
       The --hexdump option causes mysqlbinlog to produce a hex dump of the
       binary log contents:

           shell> mysqlbinlog --hexdump master-bin.000001

       The hex output consists of comment lines beginning with #, so the
       output might look like this for the preceding command:

           /*!40019 SET @@session.max_insert_delayed_threads=0*/;
           /*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;

           ROLLBACK;

       Hex dump output currently contains the elements in the following list.
       This format is subject to change. (For more information about binary
       log format, see MySQL Internals: The Binary Log[1].

       o   Position: The byte position within the log file.

       o   Timestamp: The event timestamp. In the example shown, '9d fc 5c 43'
           is the representation of '051024 17:24:13' in hexadecimal.

       o   Type: The event type code. In the example shown, '0f' indicates a
           FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT. The following table lists the possible
           type codes.

       that specify data modifications. These correspond to events with the
       WRITE_ROWS_EVENT, UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT, and DELETE_ROWS_EVENT type codes.
       The --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS and --verbose options may be used to
       affect row event output.

       Suppose that the server is using row-based binary logging and that you
       execute the following sequence of statements:

           CREATE TABLE t
           (
             id   INT NOT NULL,
             name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
             date DATE NULL
           ) ENGINE = InnoDB;
           START TRANSACTION;
           INSERT INTO t VALUES(1, 'apple', NULL);
           UPDATE t SET name = 'pear', date = '2009-01-01' WHERE id = 1;
           DELETE FROM t WHERE id = 1;
           COMMIT;

       By default, mysqlbinlog displays row events encoded as base-64 strings
       using BINLOG statements. Omitting extraneous lines, the output for the
       row events produced by the preceding statement sequence looks like
       this:

           shell> mysqlbinlog log_file

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

           shell> mysqlbinlog -v --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS log_file
           ...
           # at 218

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

       The SQL statements produced by --verbose for row events are much more
       readable than the corresponding BINLOG statements. However, they do not
       correspond exactly to the original SQL statements that generated the
       events. The following limitations apply:

       o   The original column names are lost and replaced by @N, where N is a
           column number.

       o   Character set information is not available in the binary log, which
           affects string column display:

           o   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 for variable-length strings.

           o   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:

                   CHAR(4) CHARACTER SET latin1
                   CHAR(2) CHARACTER SET ucs2

           o   Due to the storage format for events of type UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT,
               UPDATE statements are displayed with the WHERE clause preceding
               the SET clause.

       Proper interpretation of row events requires the information from the
       format description event at the beginning of the binary log. Because
       mysqlbinlog 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.

       If the binary log is known not to contain any events requiring a BINLOG
       statement (that is, no row events), the --base64-output=NEVER option
       can be used to prevent this header from being written.

USING MYSQLBINLOG TO BACK UP BINARY LOG FILES
       By default, mysqlbinlog 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 mysql).  mysqlbinlog can read log files directly
       from the local file system, or, with the --read-from-remote-server
       option, it can connect to a server and request binary log contents from
       that server.  mysqlbinlog writes text output to its standard output, or
       to the file named as the value of the --result-file=file_name option if
       that option is given.

       As of MySQL 5.6, mysqlbinlog can read binary log files and write new
       files containing the same content--that is, in binary format rather
       than text format. This capability enables you to easily back up a
       binary log in its original format.  mysqlbinlog 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 ("live") 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, mysqlbinlog runs until the connection ends
       (for example, when the server exits) or mysqlbinlog is forcibly
       terminated. When the connection ends, mysqlbinlog 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
       mysqlbinlog.

       Binary log backup requires that you invoke mysqlbinlog with two options
       at minimum:

       o   The --read-from-remote-server (or -R) option tells mysqlbinlog to
           connect to a server and request its binary log. (This is similar to
           a slave replication server connecting to its master server.)

       o   The --raw option tells mysqlbinlog to write raw (binary) output,
           not text output.

       Along with --read-from-remote-server, it is common to specify other
       options: --host indicates where the server is running, and you may also
       need to specify connection options such as --user and --password.

       Several other options are useful in conjunction with --raw:

       o   --stop-never: Stay connected to the server after reaching the end
           of the last log file and continue to read new events.

       o   --stop-never-slave-server-id=id: The server ID that mysqlbinlog
           reports to the server when --stop-never is used. The default is
           65535. This can be used to avoid a conflict with the ID of a slave
           server or another mysqlbinlog process. See the section called
           "SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER ID".

       o   --result-file: A prefix for output file names, as described later.

       To back up a server's binary log files with mysqlbinlog, 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:

           mysql> SHOW BINARY LOGS;
           +---------------+-----------+
           | Log_name      | File_size |
           +---------------+-----------+
           | binlog.000130 |     27459 |
           | binlog.000131 |     13719 |
           | binlog.000132 |     43268 |
           +---------------+-----------+

       With that information, you can use mysqlbinlog to back up the binary
       log to the current directory as follows (enter each command on a single
       line):

       o   To make a static backup of binlog.000130 through binlog.000132, use
           either of these commands:

               mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
                 binlog.000130 binlog.000131 binlog.000132
               mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
                 --to-last-log binlog.000130

           The first command specifies every file name explicitly. The second
           names only the first file and uses --to-last-log to read through
           the last. A difference between these commands is that if the server
           happens to open binlog.000133 before mysqlbinlog reaches the end of
           binlog.000132, the first command will not read it, but the second
           command will.

       o   To make a live backup in which mysqlbinlog starts with
           binlog.000130 to copy existing log files, then stays connected to
           copy new events as the server generates them:

               mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
                 --stop-never binlog.000130

           With --stop-never, it is not necessary to specify --to-last-log to
           read to the last log file because that option is implied.
       Output File Naming.PP Without --raw, mysqlbinlog produces text output
       and the --result-file option, if given, specifies the name of the
       single file to which all output is written. With --raw, mysqlbinlog
       writes one binary output file for each log file transferred from the
       server. By default, mysqlbinlog writes the files in the current
       directory with the same names as the original log files. To modify the
       output file names, use the --result-file option. In conjunction with
       --raw, the --result-file option value is treated as a prefix that
       modifies the output file names.

       Suppose that a server currently has binary log files named
       binlog.000999 and up. If you use mysqlbinlog --raw to back up the
       files, the --result-file option produces output file names as shown in
       the following table. You can write the files to a specific directory by
       beginning the --result-file value with the directory path. If the
       --result-file value consists only of a directory name, the value must
       end with the pathname separator character. Output files are overwritten
       if they exist.

       +---------------------+----------------------------+
       |--result-file Option | Output File Names          |
       +---------------------+----------------------------+
       |--result-file=x      | xbinlog.000999 and up      |
       +---------------------+----------------------------+
       |--result-file=/tmp/  | /tmp/binlog.000999 and up  |
       +---------------------+----------------------------+
       |--result-file=/tmp/x | /tmp/xbinlog.000999 and up |
       +---------------------+----------------------------+
       Example: mysqldump + mysqlbinlog
               for Backup and Restore.PP The following example describes a
       simple scenario that shows how to use mysqldump and mysqlbinlog
       together to back up a server's 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 host_name and its first binary log
       file is named binlog.000999. Enter each command on a single line.

       Use mysqlbinlog to make a continuous backup of the binary log:

           mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server --host=host_name --raw
             --stop-never binlog.000999

       Use mysqldump to create a dump file as a snapshot of the server's data.
       Use --all-databases, --events, and --routines to back up all data, and
       --master-data=2 to include the current binary log coordinates in the
       dump file.

           mysqldump --host=host_name --all-databases --events --routines --master-data=2> dump_file

       Execute the mysqldump command periodically to create newer snapshots as
       desired.

       If data loss occurs (for example, if the server crashes), use the most
       recent dump file to restore the data:

           mysql --host=host_name -u root -p < dump_file

       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:

           -- CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_FILE='binlog.001002', MASTER_LOG_POS=27284;

       If the most recent backed-up log file is named binlog.001004,
       re-execute the log events like this:

           mysqlbinlog --start-position=27284 binlog.001002 binlog.001003 binlog.001004
             | mysql --host=host_name -u root -p

       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.

SPECIFYING THE MYSQLBINLOG SERVER ID
       When invoked with the --read-from-remote-server option, mysqlbinlog
       connects to a MySQL server, specifies a server ID to identify itself,
       and requests binary log files from the server. You can use mysqlbinlog
       to request log files from a server in several ways:

       o   Specify an explicitly named set of files: For each file,
           mysqlbinlog connects and issues a Binlog dump command. The server
           sends the file and disconnects. There is one connection per file.

       o   Specify the beginning file and --to-last-log: mysqlbinlog connects
           and issues a Binlog dump command for all files. The server sends
           all files and disconnects.

       o   Specify the beginning file and --stop-never (which implies
           --to-last-log): mysqlbinlog connects and issues a Binlog dump
           command for all files. The server sends all files, but does not
           disconnect after sending the last one.

       With --read-from-remote-server only, mysqlbinlog connects using a
       server ID of 0, which tells the server to disconnect after sending the
       last requested log file.

       With --read-from-remote-server and --stop-never, mysqlbinlog 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 --stop-never-slave-server-id.

       Thus, for the first two ways of requesting files, the server
       disconnects because mysqlbinlog specifies a server ID of 0. It does not
       disconnect if --stop-never is given because mysqlbinlog specifies a
       nonzero server ID.
