RESET SLAVE
Syntax
RESET SLAVE
makes the slave forget its replication position in the master's binary log. This statement is meant to be used for a clean start: It deletes the master.info
and relay-log.info
files, all the relay log files, and starts a new relay log file. It also resets to 0 the replication delay specified with the MASTER_DELAY
option to CHANGE MASTER TO
. To use RESET SLAVE
, the slave replication threads must be stopped (use STOP SLAVE
if necessary).Note
All relay log files are deleted, even if they have not been completely executed by the slave SQL thread. (This is a condition likely to exist on a replication slave if you have issued a STOP SLAVE
statement or if the slave is highly loaded.)
In MariaDB 5.6 (unlike the case in MariaDB 5.1 and earlier), RESET SLAVE
does not change any replication connection parameters such as master host, master port, master user, or master password, which are retained in memory. This means that START SLAVE
can be issued without requiring a CHANGE MASTER TO
statement following RESET SLAVE
.
In MariaDB 5.6.3 and later, you can use RESET SLAVE ALL
to reset these connection parameters (Bug #11809016). Connection parameters are also reset if the slave mysqld is shut down.
If the slave SQL thread was in the middle of replicating temporary tables when it was stopped, and RESET SLAVE
is issued, these replicated temporary tables are deleted on the slave.
