SHOW BINLOG EVENTS Syntax
Shows the events in the binary log. If you do not specify ', the first binary log is displayed.
log_name'
The LIMIT clause has the same syntax as for the SELECT statement. See , "SELECT Syntax".Note
Issuing a SHOW BINLOG EVENTS with no LIMIT clause could start a very time- and resource-consuming process because the server returns to the client the complete contents of the binary log (which includes all statements executed by the server that modify data). As an alternative to SHOW BINLOG EVENTS, use the mysqlbinlog utility to save the binary log to a text file for later examination and analysis. See , "mysqlbinlog - Utility for Processing Binary Log Files".Note
Some events relating to the setting of user and system variables are not included in the output from SHOW BINLOG EVENTS. To get complete coverage of events within a binary log, use mysqlbinlog.Note
SHOW BINLOG EVENTS does not work with relay log files. You can use SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS for this purpose.
