In MySQL , binary logging is not enabled by default, and you enable it using the --log-bin option. binlog_format can be set at startup or at runtime, except that under some conditions, The effect of implicit InnoDB support for two-phase commit in XA transactions and sync_binlog=1 is that at restart after a crash, after doing a rollback of transactions, the MySQL server scans The effect of this option is that at restart after a crash, after doing a rollback of transactions, the MySQL server scans the latest binary log file to collect transaction xid values and From MySQL , binary logging is enabled by default, with the log_bin system variable set to ON, whether or not you specify the --log-bin option. The exception is if you use mysqld to initialize MySQL Binary Log. Below are the few options: Debug: This option is used to write a debugging log. Debug-Check: This option is used to print the debugging information when the program ... read more
This option affects binary logging in a manner similar to the way that --replicate-ignore-db affects replication. 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 --replicate-ignore-db depend on whether statement-based or row-based replication is in use.
For example, DDL statements such as CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE are always logged as statements, without regard to the logging format in effect, so the following statement-based rules for --binlog-ignore-db always apply in determining whether or not the statement is logged.
When there is no default database, no --binlog-ignore-db options are applied, and such statements are always logged. Bug , Bug Row-based format. The current database has no effect. When using statement-based logging, the following example does not work as you might expect. The UPDATE statement is logged in such a case because --binlog-ignore-db applies only to the default database determined by the USE statement.
Because the sales database was specified explicitly in the statement, the statement has not been filtered. However, when using row-based logging, the UPDATE statement's effects are not written to the binary log, which means that no changes to the sales. To specify more than one database to ignore, use this option multiple times, once for each database. You should not use this option if you are using cross-database updates and you do not want these updates to be logged.
Checksum options. MySQL supports reading and writing of binary log checksums. These are enabled using the two options listed here:.
Enabling this option causes the source to write checksums for events written to the binary log. Set to NONE to disable, or the name of the algorithm to be used for generating checksums; currently, only CRC32 checksums are supported, and CRC32 is the default.
You cannot change the setting for this option within a transaction. To control reading of checksums by the replica from the relay log , use the --slave-sql-verify-checksum option. Testing and debugging options. The following binary log options are used in replication testing and debugging. They are not intended for use in normal operations. This option is used internally by the MySQL test suite for replication testing and debugging.
The following list describes system variables for controlling binary logging. They can be set at server startup and some of them can be changed at runtime using SET. Server options used to control binary logging are listed earlier in this section.
The size of the memory buffer to hold changes to the binary log during a transaction. The block size is A value that is not an exact multiple of the block size is rounded down to the next lower multiple of the block size by MySQL Server before storing the value for the system variable.
If the data for the transaction exceeds the space in the memory buffer, the excess data is stored in a temporary file. When binary log encryption is active on the server, the memory buffer is not encrypted, but from MySQL 8. After each transaction is committed, the binary log cache is reset by clearing the memory buffer and truncating the temporary file if used.
If you often use large transactions, you can increase this cache size to get better performance by reducing or eliminating the need to write to temporary files. See Section 5.
When enabled, this variable causes the source to write a checksum for each event in the binary log. The default is CRC If backward compatibility with older replicas is a concern, you may want to set the value explicitly to NONE.
Up to and including MySQL 8. Due to concurrency issues, a replica can become inconsistent when a transaction contains updates to both transactional and nontransactional tables. MySQL tries to preserve causality among these statements by writing nontransactional statements to the transaction cache, which is flushed upon commit. However, problems arise when modifications done to nontransactional tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible to other connections because these changes may not be written immediately into the binary log.
By default, this variable is disabled. As of MySQL 8. The session user must have privileges sufficient to set restricted session variables. Otherwise, such statements are likely to cause the replica to diverge from the source. This variable has no effect when the binary log format is ROW or MIXED.
Enables encryption for binary log files and relay log files on this server. OFF is the default. ON sets encryption on for binary log files and relay log files. Binary logging does not need to be enabled on the server to enable encryption, so you can encrypt the relay log files on a replica that has no binary log. To use encryption, a keyring plugin must be installed and configured to supply MySQL Server's keyring service. For instructions to do this, see Section 6.
Any supported keyring plugin can be used to store binary log encryption keys. When you first start the server with binary log encryption enabled, a new binary log encryption key is generated before the binary log and relay logs are initialized.
This key is used to encrypt a file password for each binary log file if the server has binary logging enabled and relay log file if the server has replication channels , and further keys generated from the file passwords are used to encrypt the data in the files.
Relay log files are encrypted for all channels, including Group Replication applier channels and new channels that are created after encryption is activated. The binary log index file and relay log index file are never encrypted. If you activate encryption while the server is running, a new binary log encryption key is generated at that time.
The exception is if encryption was active previously on the server and was then disabled, in which case the binary log encryption key that was in use before is used again. The binary log file and relay log files are rotated immediately, and file passwords for the new files and all subsequent binary log files and relay log files are encrypted using this binary log encryption key.
Existing binary log files and relay log files still present on the server are not automatically encrypted, but you can purge them if they are no longer needed. Previously encrypted files are not automatically decrypted, but the server is still able to read them. Group Replication applier channels are not included in the relay log rotation request, so unencrypted logging for these channels does not start until their logs are rotated in normal use.
For more information on binary log file and relay log file encryption, see Section Controls what happens when the server encounters an error such as not being able to write to, flush or synchronize the binary log, which can cause the source's binary log to become inconsistent and replicas to lose synchronization.
On restart, recovery proceeds as in the case of an unexpected server halt see Section This setting provides backward compatibility with older versions of MySQL. Sets the binary log expiration period in seconds. After their expiration period ends, binary log files can be automatically removed. Possible removals happen at startup and when the binary log is flushed.
Log flushing occurs as indicated in Section 5. Beginning with MySQL 8. To remove binary log files manually, use the PURGE BINARY LOGS statement. See Section Enables or disables automatic purging of binary log files. Setting this variable to ON the default enables automatic purging; setting it to OFF disables automatic purging. This variable has no effect on PURGE BINARY LOGS. This system variable sets the binary logging format, and can be any one of STATEMENT , ROW , or MIXED.
The default is ROW. Exception : In NDB Cluster, the default is MIXED ; statement-based replication is not supported for NDB Cluster. Setting the session value of this system variable is a restricted operation. The rules governing when changes to this variable take effect and how long the effect lasts are the same as for other MySQL server system variables.
For more information, see Section When MIXED is specified, statement-based replication is used, except for cases where only row-based replication is guaranteed to lead to proper results. For example, this happens when statements contain loadable functions or the UUID function. For details of how stored programs stored procedures and functions, triggers, and events are handled when each binary logging format is set, see Section There are exceptions when you cannot switch the replication format at runtime:.
The replication format cannot be changed from within a stored function or a trigger. If a session has open temporary tables, the replication format cannot be changed for the session SET SESSION. If any replication channel has open temporary tables, the replication format cannot be changed globally SET GLOBAL. If any replication channel applier thread is currently running, the replication format cannot be changed globally SET GLOBAL. Trying to switch the replication format in any of these cases or attempting to set the current replication format results in an error.
Switching the replication format at runtime is not recommended when any temporary tables exist, because temporary tables are logged only when using statement-based replication, whereas with row-based replication and mixed replication, they are not logged. Changing the logging format on a replication source server does not cause a replica to change its logging format to match. Switching the replication format while replication is ongoing can cause issues if a replica has binary logging enabled, and the change results in the replica using STATEMENT format logging while the source is using ROW or MIXED format logging.
A replica is not able to convert binary log entries received in ROW logging format to STATEMENT format for use in its own binary log, so this situation can cause replication to fail. For more information, see Section 5. The binary log format affects the behavior of the following server options:. These effects are discussed in detail in the descriptions of the individual options. Controls how many microseconds the binary log commit waits before synchronizing the binary log file to disk.
Also, on highly concurrent workloads, it is possible for the delay to increase contention and therefore reduce throughput. Typically, the benefits of setting a delay outweigh the drawbacks, but tuning should always be carried out to determine the optimal setting. Formerly, this system variable controlled the time in microseconds to continue reading transactions from the flush queue before proceeding with group commit.
It no longer has any effect. When this variable is enabled on a replication source server which is the default , transaction commit instructions issued to storage engines are serialized on a single thread, so that transactions are always committed in the same order as they are written to the binary log. Disabling this variable permits transaction commit instructions to be issued using multiple threads. Used in combination with binary log group commit, this prevents the commit rate of a single transaction being a bottleneck to throughput, and might therefore produce a performance improvement.
Transactions are written to the binary log at the point when all the storage engines involved have confirmed that the transaction is prepared to commit.
The binary log group commit logic then commits a group of transactions after their binary log write has taken place. Transactions from a single client always commit in chronological order. In many cases this does not matter, as operations carried out in separate transactions should produce consistent results, and if that is not the case, a single transaction ought to be used instead. Specifies whether or not the binary log master key is rotated at server startup.
The binary log master key is the binary log encryption key that is used to encrypt file passwords for the binary log files and relay log files on the server. For more information on binary log encryption keys and the binary log master key, see Section This global system variable is read-only and can be set only at server startup.
minimal Log only changed columns, and columns needed to identify rows. noblob Log all columns, except for unneeded BLOB and TEXT columns.
For MySQL row-based replication, this variable determines how row images are written to the binary log. Normally, MySQL logs full rows that is, all columns for both the before and after images.
However, it is not strictly necessary to include every column in both images, and we can often save disk, memory, and network usage by logging only those columns which are actually required. When deleting a row, only the before image is logged, since there are no changed values to propagate following the deletion.
When inserting a row, only the after image is logged, since there is no existing row to be matched. Only when updating a row are both the before and after images required, and both written to the binary log. For the before image, it is necessary only that the minimum set of columns required to uniquely identify rows is logged. If the table containing the row has a primary key, then only the primary key column or columns are written to the binary log.
Otherwise, if the table has a unique key all of whose columns are NOT NULL , then only the columns in the unique key need be logged. If the table has neither a primary key nor a unique key without any NULL columns, then all columns must be used in the before image, and logged. In the after image, it is necessary to log only the columns which have actually changed. This variable actually takes one of three possible values, as shown in the following list:.
full : Log all columns in both the before image and the after image. minimal : Log only those columns in the before image that are required to identify the row to be changed; log only those columns in the after image where a value was specified by the SQL statement, or generated by auto-increment. noblob : Log all columns same as full , except for BLOB and TEXT columns that are not required to identify rows, or that have not changed.
This variable is not supported by NDB Cluster; setting it has no effect on the logging of NDB tables. When using minimal or noblob , deletes and updates are guaranteed to work correctly for a given table if and only if the following conditions are true for both the source and destination tables:.
All columns must be present and in the same order; each column must use the same data type as its counterpart in the other table. In other words, the tables must be identical with the possible exception of indexes that are not part of the tables' primary keys. If these conditions are not met, it is possible that the primary key column values in the destination table may prove insufficient to provide a unique match for a delete or update. In this event, no warning or error is issued; the source and replica silently diverge, thus breaking consistency.
Setting this variable has no effect when the binary logging format is STATEMENT. Configures the amount of table metadata added to the binary log when using row-based logging. When set to MINIMAL , the default, only metadata related to SIGNED flags, column character set and geometry types are logged. When set to FULL complete metadata for tables is logged, such as column name, ENUM or SET string values, PRIMARY KEY information, and so on. Replicas use the metadata to transfer data when its table structure is different from the source's.
External software can use the metadata to decode row events and store the data into external databases, such as a data warehouse. If the server is unable to generate a partial update, the full document is used instead. The default value is an empty string, which disables use of the format. mysqlbinlog output includes partial JSON updates in the form of events encoded as base strings using BINLOG statements.
If the --verbose option is specified, mysqlbinlog displays the partial JSON updates as readable JSON using pseudo-SQL statements. MySQL Replication generates an error if a modification cannot be applied to the JSON document on the replica. This includes a failure to find the path.
Be aware that, even with this and other safety checks, if a JSON document on a replica has diverged from that on the source and a partial update is applied, it remains theoretically possible to produce a valid but unexpected JSON document on the replica. This system variable affects row-based logging only.
When enabled, it causes the server to write informational log events such as row query log events into its binary log. This information can be used for debugging and related purposes, such as obtaining the original query issued on the source when it cannot be reconstructed from the row updates. These informational events are normally ignored by MySQL programs reading the binary log and so cause no issues when replicating or restoring from backup.
To view them, increase the verbosity level by using mysqlbinlog's --verbose option twice, either as -vv or --verbose --verbose. The size of the memory buffer for the binary log to hold nontransactional statements issued during a transaction.
If the data for the nontransactional statements used in the transaction exceeds the space in the memory buffer, the excess data is stored in a temporary file. After each transaction is committed, the binary log statement cache is reset by clearing the memory buffer and truncating the temporary file if used.
If you often use large nontransactional statements during transactions, you can increase this cache size to get better performance by reducing or eliminating the need to write to temporary files. Enables compression for transactions that are written to binary log files on this server. Compressed transaction payloads remain in a compressed state while they are sent in the replication stream to replicas, other Group Replication group members, or clients such as mysqlbinlog , and are written to the relay log still in their compressed state.
Binary log transaction compression therefore saves storage space both on the originator of the transaction and on the recipient and for their backups , and saves network bandwidth when the transactions are sent between server instances.
When a MySQL server instance has no binary log, if it is at a release from MySQL 8. Compressed transaction payloads received by such server instances are written in their compressed state to the relay log, so they benefit indirectly from compression carried out by other servers in the replication topology.
This system variable cannot be changed within the context of a transaction. For more information on binary log transaction compression, including details of what events are and are not compressed, and changes in behavior when transaction compression is in use, see Section 5.
Prior to NDB 8. In NDB 8. See the description of the variable for further information. The value is an integer that determines the compression effort, from 1 the lowest effort to 22 the highest effort.
If you do not specify this system variable, the compression level is set to 3. As the compression level increases, the data compression ratio increases, which reduces the storage space and network bandwidth required for the transaction payload. However, the effort required for data compression also increases, taking time and CPU and memory resources on the originating server.
Increases in the compression effort do not have a linear relationship to increases in the data compression ratio. This variable has no effect on logging of transactions on NDB tables; in NDB Cluster 8. The dependency information written by the replication source is represented using logical timestamps. There are two logical timestamps, listed here, for each transaction:.
The numbering restarts with 1 in each binary log file. Available choices are listed here:. This the default. The commit-time window begins immediately following the execution of the last statement of the transaction, and ends immediately after the storage engine commit ends. Since transactions hold all row locks between these two points in time, we know that they cannot update the same rows. Each row in the transaction adds a set of one or more hashes to the transaction's write set, one of each unique key in the row.
If there are no unique, nonnullable keys, a hash of the row is used. This includes both deleted and inserted rows; for updated rows, both the old and the new row are also included. Two transactions are considered conflicting if their write sets overlap—that is, if there is some number hash that occurs in the write sets of both transactions.
In addition, due to the way the write sets are computed, there are periodic serialization points, such that the write set computation process regards every transaction after a serialization point as conflicting with every transaction before the serialization point. Serialization points affect only dependencies computed by the WRITESET algorithm; transactions on opposite sides of the serialization point may have overlapping commit-time windows, and so can be parallelized on replica in spite of this.
The transactions are dependent according to WRITESET. The transactions were committed in the same user session. Any change in the value does not take effect for replicated transactions until after the replica has been stopped and restarted with STOP REPLICA and START REPLICA.
The dependency information in those logs is used to assist the process of state transfer from a donor's binary log for distributed recovery, which takes place whenever a member joins or rejoins the group.
Sets an upper limit on the number of row hashes which are kept in memory and used for looking up the transaction that last modified a given row. Once this number of hashes has been reached, the history is purged. Specifies the number of days before automatic removal of binary log files.
If you do not set a value for either system variable, the default expiration period is 30 days. A warning message is issued in this situation.
Shows the status of binary logging on the server, either enabled ON or disabled OFF. ON means that the binary log is available, OFF means that it is not in use. The --log-bin option can be used to specify a base name and location for the binary log. Holds the base name and path for the binary log files, which can be set with the --log-bin server option.
The maximum variable length is For compatibility with MySQL 5. The default location is the data directory. Holds the base name and path for the binary log index file, which can be set with the --log-bin-index server option. This variable applies when binary logging is enabled.
It controls whether stored function creators can be trusted not to create stored functions that may cause unsafe events to be written to the binary log. If set to 0 the default , users are not permitted to create or alter stored functions unless they have the SUPER privilege in addition to the CREATE ROUTINE or ALTER ROUTINE privilege.
If the variable is set to 1, MySQL does not enforce these restrictions on stored function creation. This variable also applies to trigger creation. This read-only system variable is deprecated. Setting the system variable to ON at server startup enabled row-based replication with replicas running MySQL Server 5.
In releases before MySQL 8. Enabling this variable causes the replica to write the updates that are received from a source and performed by the replication SQL thread to the replica's own binary log. Binary logging, which is controlled by the --log-bin option and is enabled by default, must also be enabled on the replica for updates to be logged. For example, you might want to set up replication servers using this arrangement:.
Here, A serves as the source for the replica B , and B serves as the source for the replica C. For this to work, B must be both a source and a replica. If error is encountered, controls whether the generated warnings are added to the error log or not. The minimum value is The maximum possible value is 16EiB exbibytes. The maximum recommended value is 4GB; this is due to the fact that MySQL currently cannot work with binary log positions greater than 4GB. If a write to the binary log causes the current log file size to exceed the value of this variable, the server rotates the binary logs closes the current file and opens the next one.
The minimum value is bytes. The maximum and default value is 1GB. A transaction is written in one chunk to the binary log, so it is never split between several binary logs. If nontransactional statements within a transaction require more than this many bytes of memory, the server generates an error.
The maximum and default values are 4GB on bit platforms and 16EB exabytes on bit platforms. For internal use by replication. When re-executing a transaction on a replica, this is set to the time when the transaction was committed on the original source, measured in microseconds since the epoch. This allows the original commit timestamp to be propagated throughout a replication topology.
However, note that the variable is not intended for users to set; it is set automatically by the replication infrastructure. This variable controls whether logging to the binary log is enabled for the current session assuming that the binary log itself is enabled. The default value is ON. Set this variable to OFF for a session to temporarily disable binary logging while making changes to the source you do not want replicated to the replica.
Setting this variable to OFF prevents GTIDs from being assigned to transactions in the binary log. If you are using GTIDs for replication, this means that even when binary logging is later enabled again, the GTIDs written into the log from this point do not account for any transactions that occurred in the meantime, so in effect those transactions are lost.
This option affects binary logging in a manner similar to the way that --replicate-ignore-db affects replication. 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 --replicate-ignore-db depend on whether statement-based or row-based replication is in use.
For example, DDL statements such as CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE are always logged as statements, without regard to the logging format in effect, so the following statement-based rules for --binlog-ignore-db always apply in determining whether or not the statement is logged.
When there is no default database, no --binlog-ignore-db options are applied, and such statements are always logged. Bug , Bug Row-based format. The current database has no effect. When using statement-based logging, the following example does not work as you might expect. The UPDATE statement is logged in such a case because --binlog-ignore-db applies only to the default database determined by the USE statement.
Because the sales database was specified explicitly in the statement, the statement has not been filtered. However, when using row-based logging, the UPDATE statement's effects are not written to the binary log, which means that no changes to the sales. To specify more than one database to ignore, use this option multiple times, once for each database.
You should not use this option if you are using cross-database updates and you do not want these updates to be logged. Checksum options. MySQL supports reading and writing of binary log checksums. These are enabled using the two options listed here:. Enabling this option causes the source to write checksums for events written to the binary log. Set to NONE to disable, or the name of the algorithm to be used for generating checksums; currently, only CRC32 checksums are supported, and CRC32 is the default.
You cannot change the setting for this option within a transaction. To control reading of checksums by the replica from the relay log , use the --slave-sql-verify-checksum option. Testing and debugging options. The following binary log options are used in replication testing and debugging.
They are not intended for use in normal operations. This option is used internally by the MySQL test suite for replication testing and debugging.
The following list describes system variables for controlling binary logging. They can be set at server startup and some of them can be changed at runtime using SET. Server options used to control binary logging are listed earlier in this section. The size of the memory buffer to hold changes to the binary log during a transaction. The block size is A value that is not an exact multiple of the block size is rounded down to the next lower multiple of the block size by MySQL Server before storing the value for the system variable.
If the data for the transaction exceeds the space in the memory buffer, the excess data is stored in a temporary file. When binary log encryption is active on the server, the memory buffer is not encrypted, but from MySQL 8. After each transaction is committed, the binary log cache is reset by clearing the memory buffer and truncating the temporary file if used. If you often use large transactions, you can increase this cache size to get better performance by reducing or eliminating the need to write to temporary files.
See Section 5. When enabled, this variable causes the source to write a checksum for each event in the binary log. The default is CRC If backward compatibility with older replicas is a concern, you may want to set the value explicitly to NONE. Up to and including MySQL 8.
Due to concurrency issues, a replica can become inconsistent when a transaction contains updates to both transactional and nontransactional tables. MySQL tries to preserve causality among these statements by writing nontransactional statements to the transaction cache, which is flushed upon commit. However, problems arise when modifications done to nontransactional tables on behalf of a transaction become immediately visible to other connections because these changes may not be written immediately into the binary log.
By default, this variable is disabled. As of MySQL 8. The session user must have privileges sufficient to set restricted session variables. Otherwise, such statements are likely to cause the replica to diverge from the source. This variable has no effect when the binary log format is ROW or MIXED.
Enables encryption for binary log files and relay log files on this server. OFF is the default. ON sets encryption on for binary log files and relay log files. Binary logging does not need to be enabled on the server to enable encryption, so you can encrypt the relay log files on a replica that has no binary log. To use encryption, a keyring plugin must be installed and configured to supply MySQL Server's keyring service.
For instructions to do this, see Section 6. Any supported keyring plugin can be used to store binary log encryption keys. When you first start the server with binary log encryption enabled, a new binary log encryption key is generated before the binary log and relay logs are initialized. This key is used to encrypt a file password for each binary log file if the server has binary logging enabled and relay log file if the server has replication channels , and further keys generated from the file passwords are used to encrypt the data in the files.
Relay log files are encrypted for all channels, including Group Replication applier channels and new channels that are created after encryption is activated. The binary log index file and relay log index file are never encrypted. If you activate encryption while the server is running, a new binary log encryption key is generated at that time. The exception is if encryption was active previously on the server and was then disabled, in which case the binary log encryption key that was in use before is used again.
The binary log file and relay log files are rotated immediately, and file passwords for the new files and all subsequent binary log files and relay log files are encrypted using this binary log encryption key. Existing binary log files and relay log files still present on the server are not automatically encrypted, but you can purge them if they are no longer needed. Previously encrypted files are not automatically decrypted, but the server is still able to read them.
Group Replication applier channels are not included in the relay log rotation request, so unencrypted logging for these channels does not start until their logs are rotated in normal use. For more information on binary log file and relay log file encryption, see Section Controls what happens when the server encounters an error such as not being able to write to, flush or synchronize the binary log, which can cause the source's binary log to become inconsistent and replicas to lose synchronization.
On restart, recovery proceeds as in the case of an unexpected server halt see Section This setting provides backward compatibility with older versions of MySQL. Sets the binary log expiration period in seconds.
After their expiration period ends, binary log files can be automatically removed. Possible removals happen at startup and when the binary log is flushed.
Log flushing occurs as indicated in Section 5. Beginning with MySQL 8. To remove binary log files manually, use the PURGE BINARY LOGS statement. See Section Enables or disables automatic purging of binary log files. Setting this variable to ON the default enables automatic purging; setting it to OFF disables automatic purging. This variable has no effect on PURGE BINARY LOGS. This system variable sets the binary logging format, and can be any one of STATEMENT , ROW , or MIXED.
The default is ROW. Exception : In NDB Cluster, the default is MIXED ; statement-based replication is not supported for NDB Cluster. Setting the session value of this system variable is a restricted operation. The rules governing when changes to this variable take effect and how long the effect lasts are the same as for other MySQL server system variables.
For more information, see Section When MIXED is specified, statement-based replication is used, except for cases where only row-based replication is guaranteed to lead to proper results. For example, this happens when statements contain loadable functions or the UUID function. For details of how stored programs stored procedures and functions, triggers, and events are handled when each binary logging format is set, see Section There are exceptions when you cannot switch the replication format at runtime:.
The replication format cannot be changed from within a stored function or a trigger. If a session has open temporary tables, the replication format cannot be changed for the session SET SESSION. If any replication channel has open temporary tables, the replication format cannot be changed globally SET GLOBAL. If any replication channel applier thread is currently running, the replication format cannot be changed globally SET GLOBAL. Trying to switch the replication format in any of these cases or attempting to set the current replication format results in an error.
Switching the replication format at runtime is not recommended when any temporary tables exist, because temporary tables are logged only when using statement-based replication, whereas with row-based replication and mixed replication, they are not logged. Changing the logging format on a replication source server does not cause a replica to change its logging format to match. Switching the replication format while replication is ongoing can cause issues if a replica has binary logging enabled, and the change results in the replica using STATEMENT format logging while the source is using ROW or MIXED format logging.
A replica is not able to convert binary log entries received in ROW logging format to STATEMENT format for use in its own binary log, so this situation can cause replication to fail. For more information, see Section 5. The binary log format affects the behavior of the following server options:.
These effects are discussed in detail in the descriptions of the individual options. Controls how many microseconds the binary log commit waits before synchronizing the binary log file to disk.
Also, on highly concurrent workloads, it is possible for the delay to increase contention and therefore reduce throughput.
Typically, the benefits of setting a delay outweigh the drawbacks, but tuning should always be carried out to determine the optimal setting.
Formerly, this system variable controlled the time in microseconds to continue reading transactions from the flush queue before proceeding with group commit. It no longer has any effect.

Specifies whether or not the binary log master key is rotated at server startup. The binary log master key is the binary log encryption key that is used to encrypt file passwords for the binary log files and relay log files on the server. For more information on binary log encryption keys and the binary log master key, see Section This global system variable is read-only and can be set only at server startup.
minimal Log only changed columns, and columns needed to identify rows. noblob Log all columns, except for unneeded BLOB and TEXT columns.

For the before image, it is necessary only that the minimum set of columns required to uniquely identify rows is logged.
If the table containing the row has a primary key, then only the primary key column or columns are written to the binary log.
Otherwise, if the table has a unique key all of whose columns are NOT NULL , then only the columns in the unique key need be logged. If the table has neither a primary key nor a unique key without any NULL columns, then all columns must be used in the before image, and logged. In the after image, it is necessary to log only the columns which have actually changed. This variable actually takes one of three possible values, as shown in the following list:.
full : Log all columns in both the before image and the after image. minimal : Log only those columns in the before image that are required to identify the row to be changed; log only those columns in the after image where a value was specified by the SQL statement, or generated by auto-increment.
noblob : Log all columns same as full , except for BLOB and TEXT columns that are not required to identify rows, or that have not changed. This variable is not supported by NDB Cluster; setting it has no effect on the logging of NDB tables. When using minimal or noblob , deletes and updates are guaranteed to work correctly for a given table if and only if the following conditions are true for both the source and destination tables:. All columns must be present and in the same order; each column must use the same data type as its counterpart in the other table.
In other words, the tables must be identical with the possible exception of indexes that are not part of the tables' primary keys. If these conditions are not met, it is possible that the primary key column values in the destination table may prove insufficient to provide a unique match for a delete or update. In this event, no warning or error is issued; the source and replica silently diverge, thus breaking consistency. Setting this variable has no effect when the binary logging format is STATEMENT.
Configures the amount of table metadata added to the binary log when using row-based logging. When set to MINIMAL , the default, only metadata related to SIGNED flags, column character set and geometry types are logged. When set to FULL complete metadata for tables is logged, such as column name, ENUM or SET string values, PRIMARY KEY information, and so on. Replicas use the metadata to transfer data when its table structure is different from the source's.
External software can use the metadata to decode row events and store the data into external databases, such as a data warehouse. If the server is unable to generate a partial update, the full document is used instead.
The default value is an empty string, which disables use of the format. mysqlbinlog output includes partial JSON updates in the form of events encoded as base strings using BINLOG statements. If the --verbose option is specified, mysqlbinlog displays the partial JSON updates as readable JSON using pseudo-SQL statements.
MySQL Replication generates an error if a modification cannot be applied to the JSON document on the replica. This includes a failure to find the path.
Be aware that, even with this and other safety checks, if a JSON document on a replica has diverged from that on the source and a partial update is applied, it remains theoretically possible to produce a valid but unexpected JSON document on the replica.
This system variable affects row-based logging only. When enabled, it causes the server to write informational log events such as row query log events into its binary log.
This information can be used for debugging and related purposes, such as obtaining the original query issued on the source when it cannot be reconstructed from the row updates. These informational events are normally ignored by MySQL programs reading the binary log and so cause no issues when replicating or restoring from backup. To view them, increase the verbosity level by using mysqlbinlog's --verbose option twice, either as -vv or --verbose --verbose.
The size of the memory buffer for the binary log to hold nontransactional statements issued during a transaction. If the data for the nontransactional statements used in the transaction exceeds the space in the memory buffer, the excess data is stored in a temporary file. After each transaction is committed, the binary log statement cache is reset by clearing the memory buffer and truncating the temporary file if used.
If you often use large nontransactional statements during transactions, you can increase this cache size to get better performance by reducing or eliminating the need to write to temporary files. Enables compression for transactions that are written to binary log files on this server. Compressed transaction payloads remain in a compressed state while they are sent in the replication stream to replicas, other Group Replication group members, or clients such as mysqlbinlog , and are written to the relay log still in their compressed state.
Binary log transaction compression therefore saves storage space both on the originator of the transaction and on the recipient and for their backups , and saves network bandwidth when the transactions are sent between server instances. When a MySQL server instance has no binary log, if it is at a release from MySQL 8. Compressed transaction payloads received by such server instances are written in their compressed state to the relay log, so they benefit indirectly from compression carried out by other servers in the replication topology.
This system variable cannot be changed within the context of a transaction.

Your business needs this to be successful, not only in order to remain compliant with security regulations, but also in order to run efficiently. Each time you make a change to a MySQL or MariaDB database, the event is logged. With the MySQL Show Binary Logs command, you can view the binary log files on the server.
In this article, you will learn the concept of MySQL Show Binary Logs commands and their architecture. MySQL is a prominent Relational Database Management System that is open-source. MySQL data is organised into tables with rows and columns. MySQL was first released in and is created, distributed, and supported entirely by Oracle Corporation.
MySQL runs on a variety of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Oracle Solaris, AIX, Symbian, Linux, and macOS. SQL instructions can be used to obtain, edit, or add data to MySQL tables. MySQL is also an important part of the Modern LAMP stack, which includes a Linux-based operating system, an Apache Web Server, a MySQL database, and PHP for processing. SQL commands can be typed into client-side graphical user interfaces like MySQL WorkBench, SequelPro, or DBVisualizer, and the server will respond with the necessary information.
A commercial Enterprise edition of MySQL is also available, which provides premium support services and a number of extensions that can be added as Server Plugins.

This information is contained in the binary log. Simply put, the binary log is a set of log files containing information about modifications made to a MySQL server instance. This includes information about updating a database, deleting a database, creating and deleting tables, etc. When you use MySQL replication, you can benefit greatly from the binary log. The master MySQL server will send the data to the slave MySQL server by means of a binary log.
MySQL recovery can also be performed by utilizing the binary log in MySQL Show Binary Logs. In order to view the contents of the MySQL Show Binary Log in a human-readable format, you can use the mysqlbinlog command line tool.
If you run the above command, you can see that a large amount of data is displayed. The -d option allows you to specify a database and display information associated with that database. Use the following command to dump all the events from the testdb database into the testdb. txt file. Sometimes you do not want to log events in MySQL Show Binary Log files, for example, during database recovery.
In that case, run the following command to disable the binary log:. The MySQL Binlog contains all of the database modifications that have occurred. All of the changes are recorded in binary form on the server in MySQL Show Binary Logs. Binary logs are useful for MySQL replication, in which the main server sends data from binary logs to the remote servers.
The binary logs are stored when we perform operations like creating a table or updating data from an existing table. However, as a Developer, extracting complex data from a diverse set of data sources like Databases, CRMs, Project management Tools, Streaming Services, and Marketing Platforms to your MySQL Database can seem to be quite challenging.

If any replication channel applier thread is currently running, the replication format cannot be changed globally SET GLOBAL. In many cases this does not matter, as operations carried out in separate transactions should produce consistent results, and if that is not the case, a single transaction ought to be used instead. MySQL tries to preserve causality among these statements by writing nontransactional statements to the transaction cache, which is flushed upon commit. For more information on binary log encryption keys and the binary log master key, see Section If the --verbose option is specified, mysqlbinlog displays the partial JSON updates as readable JSON using pseudo-SQL statements. For more information on binary log encryption keys and the binary log master key, see Encrypting Binary Log Files and Relay Log Files.
In order to view the contents of the MySQL Show Binary Log in a human-readable format, you can use the mysqlbinlog command line tool, binary log options mysql. Because database binary log options mysql can contain commas, the list is treated as the name of a single database if you supply a comma-separated list. With this setting, the server continues the ongoing transaction and logs the error, then halts binary logging, but continues to perform updates. The exception is if you use mysqld to initialize the data directory manually by invoking it with the --initialize or --initialize-insecure option, when binary logging is disabled by default, binary log options mysql. Each row in the transaction adds a set of one or more hashes to the transaction's write set, one of each unique key in the row. Controls what happens when the server encounters an error such as not being able to write to, flush or synchronize the binary log, which can cause the source's binary log to become inconsistent and replicas to lose synchronization. Here, A serves as the source for the replica Band B serves as the source for the replica C.
