I have a mysql instance running and I want to know if binary log is enable for that instance without logging into the machine and check my.cnf file. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks, Sean
To retrieve a list of all the BinLogs present in your system, make use of the following command: mysql> SHOW BINARY LOGS; This command will display a list of all binary logs present in the system only when the binary log is enabled otherwise, it gives an error.
You can use mysqlbinlog <filename> to see the queries in the binary logs. To turn it on, mysql> SET GLOBAL log_bin = ON; You will also want to edit your my. cnf so that log_bin = ON the next time you restart MySQL.
Enabling the binary logs MySQL binary logs can be enabled or disabled by adding or removing the log-bin configuration option. The log-bin parameter is in the configuration files named my. ini. When we install MySQL Server, the configuration file is created in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0 directory.
To disable the MySQL Binary Logging, you can use the --skip-log-bin or --disable-log-bin option at startup.
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_bin';
