+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This script is used on Windows after building a MySQL distribution from source to create executable programs. It packages the binaries and support files into a ZIP archive that can be unpacked at the location where you want to install MySQL.
+.PP
+\fBmake_win_bin_dist\fR
+is a shell script, so you must have Cygwin installed to use it.
+.PP
+This program's use is subject to change. Currently, you invoke it as follows from the root directory of your source distribution:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmake_win_bin_dist [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIpackage_basename\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fIcopy_def\fR\fR\fB ...]\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+\fIpackage_basename\fR
+argument provides the basename for the resulting ZIP archive. This name will be the name of the directory that results from unpacking the archive.
+.PP
+Because you might want to include files of directories from other builds, you can instruct this script do copy them in for you, via
+\fIcopy_def\fR
+arguments, which of which is of the form
+\fIrelative_dest_name\fR=\fIsource_name\fR.
+.PP
+Example:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+bin/mysqld\-max.exe=../my\-max\-build/sql/release/mysqld.exe
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If you specify a directory, the entire directory will be copied.
+.PP
+\fBmake_win_bin_dist\fR
+understands the following options:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-debug\fR
+.sp
+Pack the debug binaries and produce an error if they were not built.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-embedded\fR
+.sp
+Pack the embedded server and produce an error if it was not built. The default is to pack it if it was built.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-exe\-suffix=\fR\fB\fIsuffix\fR\fR
+.sp
+Add a suffix to the basename of the
+\fBmysql\fR
+binary. For example, a suffix of
+\-abc
+produces a binary named
+\fBmysqld\-abc.exe\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu

+.TP 3n
+\(bu

+\fIdebug\fR
+directories).

+.PP
+Initially, the MySQL C API was developed to be very similar to that for the mSQL database system. Because of this, mSQL programs often can be converted relatively easily for use with MySQL by changing the names of the C API functions.
+.PP
+The
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR

+shell> \fBmsql2mysql client\-prog.c\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+Then examine
+\fIclient\-prog.c\fR
+and make any post\-conversion revisions that may be necessary.
+.PP
+\fBmsql2mysql\fR
+uses the
+\fBreplace\fR
+utility to make the function name substitutions. See

+.PP
+\fBmyisam_ftdump\fR
+displays information about
+FULLTEXT
+indexes in
+MyISAM

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+\fItbl_name\fR
+argument should be the name of a
+MyISAM
+table. You can also specify a table by naming its index file (the file with the
+\fI.MYI\fR
+suffix). If you do not invoke
+\fBmyisam_ftdump\fR
+in the directory where the table files are located, the table or index file name must be preceded by the path name to the table's database directory. Index numbers begin with 0.
+.PP
+Example: Suppose that the
+test
+database contains a table named
+mytexttablel
+that has the following definition:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+CREATE TABLE mytexttable
+(
+  id   INT NOT NULL,
+  txt  TEXT NOT NULL,
+  PRIMARY KEY (id),
+  FULLTEXT (txt)
+);
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The index on
+id
+is index 0 and the
+FULLTEXT
+index on

+is index 1. If your working directory is the

+database directory, invoke
+\fBmyisam_ftdump\fR
+as follows:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If the path name to the
+test
+database directory is

+\fBmyisam_ftdump\fR

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+utility gets information about your database tables or checks, repairs, or optimizes them.
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+works with
+MyISAM
+tables (tables that have
+\fI.MYD\fR
+and
+\fI.MYI\fR
+files for storing data and indexes).
+.PP
+The use of
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+with partitioned tables is not supported.

+\fBCaution\fR
+.PP
+It is best to make a backup of a table before performing a table repair operation; under some circumstances the operation might cause data loss. Possible causes include but are not limited to file system errors.
+.PP
+Invoke
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fItbl_name\fR\fR\fB ...\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+\fIoptions\fR
+specify what you want
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+to do. They are described in the following sections. You can also get a list of options by invoking
+\fBmyisamchk \-\-help\fR.
+.PP
+With no options,
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+simply checks your table as the default operation. To get more information or to tell
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+to take corrective action, specify options as described in the following discussion.
+.PP
+\fItbl_name\fR
+is the database table you want to check or repair. If you run
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+somewhere other than in the database directory, you must specify the path to the database directory, because
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+has no idea where the database is located. In fact,
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+does not actually care whether the files you are working on are located in a database directory. You can copy the files that correspond to a database table into some other location and perform recovery operations on them there.
+.PP
+You can name several tables on the
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+command line if you wish. You can also specify a table by naming its index file (the file with the
+\fI.MYI\fR
+suffix). This allows you to specify all tables in a directory by using the pattern
+\fI*.MYI\fR. For example, if you are in a database directory, you can check all the
+MyISAM
+tables in that directory like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk *.MYI\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If you are not in the database directory, you can check all the tables there by specifying the path to the directory:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk \fR\fB\fI/path/to/database_dir/\fR\fR\fB*.MYI\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+You can even check all tables in all databases by specifying a wildcard with the path to the MySQL data directory:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk \fR\fB\fI/path/to/datadir/*/*\fR\fR\fB.MYI\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The recommended way to quickly check all
+MyISAM
+tables is:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk \-\-silent \-\-fast \fR\fB\fI/path/to/datadir/*/*\fR\fR\fB.MYI\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If you want to check all
+MyISAM
+tables and repair any that are corrupted, you can use the following command:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk \-\-silent \-\-force \-\-fast \-\-update\-state \\\fR
+          \fB\-\-key_buffer_size=64M \-\-sort_buffer_size=64M \\\fR

+          \fB\fI/path/to/datadir/*/*\fR\fR\fB.MYI\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+This command assumes that you have more than 64MB free. For more information about memory allocation with
+\fBmyisamchk\fR, see
+the section called \(lq\fBMYISAMCHK\fR MEMORY USAGE\(rq.
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBImportant\fR
+.PP
+\fIYou must ensure that no other program is using the tables while you are running \fR\fI\fBmyisamchk\fR\fR. The most effective means of doing so is to shut down the MySQL server while running
+\fBmyisamchk\fR, or to lock all tables that
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+is being used on.
+.PP
+Otherwise, when you run
+\fBmyisamchk\fR, it may display the following error message:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+warning: clients are using or haven't closed the table properly
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+This means that you are trying to check a table that has been updated by another program (such as the
+\fBmysqld\fR
+server) that hasn't yet closed the file or that has died without closing the file properly, which can sometimes lead to the corruption of one or more
+MyISAM
+tables.
+.PP
+If
+\fBmysqld\fR
+is running, you must force it to flush any table modifications that are still buffered in memory by using
+FLUSH TABLES. You should then ensure that no one is using the tables while you are running
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+.PP
+However, the easiest way to avoid this problem is to use
+CHECK TABLE
+instead of
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+to check tables. See
+Section\ 12.5.2.3, \(lqCHECK TABLE Syntax\(rq.
+.PP
+A complete listing of all the
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+options follows.
+.SH "\fBMYISAMCHK\fR GENERAL OPTIONS"
+.PP
+The options described in this section can be used for any type of table maintenance operation performed by
+\fBmyisamchk\fR. The sections following this one describe options that pertain only to specific operations, such as table checking or repairing.

+The possible
+\fBmyisamchk\fR

+\fBmyisamchk \-\-help\fR:
+.PP
+sort_buffer_size
+is used when the keys are repaired by sorting keys, which is the normal case when you use
+\fB\-\-recover\fR.
+.PP
+key_buffer_size
+is used when you are checking the table with
+\fB\-\-extend\-check\fR
+or when the keys are repaired by inserting keys row by row into the table (like when doing normal inserts). Repairing through the key buffer is used in the following cases:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+You use
+\fB\-\-safe\-recover\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+The temporary files needed to sort the keys would be more than twice as big as when creating the key file directly. This is often the case when you have large key values for
+CHAR,
+VARCHAR, or
+TEXT
+columns, because the sort operation needs to store the complete key values as it proceeds. If you have lots of temporary space and you can force
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+to repair by sorting, you can use the
+\fB\-\-sort\-recover\fR
+option.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+Repairing through the key buffer takes much less disk space than using sorting, but is also much slower.
+.PP
+If you want a faster repair, set the
+key_buffer_size
+and
+sort_buffer_size
+variables to about 25% of your available memory. You can set both variables to large values, because only one of them is used at a time.
+.PP
+myisam_block_size
+is the size used for index blocks.
+.PP
+stats_method
+influences how
+NULL
+values are treated for index statistics collection when the
+\fB\-\-analyze\fR
+option is given. It acts like the
+myisam_stats_method
+system variable. For more information, see the description of
+myisam_stats_method
+in
+Section\ 5.1.3, \(lqServer System Variables\(rq, and
+Section\ 7.4.7, \(lqMyISAM Index Statistics Collection\(rq. For MySQL 5.1,
+stats_method
+was added in MySQL 5.0.14. For older versions, the statistics collection method is equivalent to
+nulls_equal.
+.PP
+The
+ft_min_word_len
+and
+ft_max_word_len
+variables are available as of MySQL 4.0.0.
+ft_stopword_file
+is available as of MySQL 4.0.19.
+.PP
+ft_min_word_len
+and
+ft_max_word_len
+indicate the minimum and maximum word length for
+FULLTEXT
+indexes.
+ft_stopword_file
+names the stopword file. These need to be set under the following circumstances.
+.PP
+If you use
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+to perform an operation that modifies table indexes (such as repair or analyze), the
+FULLTEXT
+indexes are rebuilt using the default full\-text parameter values for minimum and maximum word length and the stopword file unless you specify otherwise. This can result in queries failing.
+.PP
+The problem occurs because these parameters are known only by the server. They are not stored in
+MyISAM
+index files. To avoid the problem if you have modified the minimum or maximum word length or the stopword file in the server, specify the same
+ft_min_word_len,
+ft_max_word_len, and
+ft_stopword_file
+values to
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+that you use for
+\fBmysqld\fR. For example, if you have set the minimum word length to 3, you can repair a table with
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmyisamchk \-\-recover \-\-ft_min_word_len=3 \fR\fB\fItbl_name\fR\fR\fB.MYI\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+To ensure that
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+and the server use the same values for full\-text parameters, you can place each one in both the
+[mysqld]
+and
+[myisamchk]
+sections of an option file:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+[mysqld]
+ft_min_word_len=3
+[myisamchk]
+ft_min_word_len=3
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+An alternative to using
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+is to use the
+REPAIR TABLE,
+ANALYZE TABLE,
+OPTIMIZE TABLE, or
+ALTER TABLE. These statements are performed by the server, which knows the proper full\-text parameter values to use.
+.SH "\fBMYISAMCHK\fR CHECK OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+supports the following options for table checking operations:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-check\fR,
+\fB\-c\fR
+.sp
+Check the table for errors. This is the default operation if you specify no option that selects an operation type explicitly.
+.TP 3n

+\fB\-C\fR
+.sp
+Check only tables that have changed since the last check.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-extend\-check\fR,
+\fB\-e\fR
+.sp
+Check the table very thoroughly. This is quite slow if the table has many indexes. This option should only be used in extreme cases. Normally,
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+or
+\fBmyisamchk \-\-medium\-check\fR
+should be able to determine whether there are any errors in the table.
+.sp
+If you are using
+\fB\-\-extend\-check\fR
+and have plenty of memory, setting the
+key_buffer_size
+variable to a large value helps the repair operation run faster.

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-medium\-check\fR,

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-read\-only\fR,
+\fB\-T\fR

+.sp
+Store information in the
+\fI.MYI\fR

+For
+\fBmyisamchk\fR, the option value is a bit\-value that indicates which indexes to update. Each binary bit of the option value corresponds to a table index, where the first index is bit 0.

+\fB\-\-recover\fR,
+\fB\-r\fR
+.sp
+Do a repair that can fix almost any problem except unique keys that are not unique (which is an extremely unlikely error with

+Do a repair using an old recovery method that reads through all rows in order and updates all index trees based on the rows found. This is an order of magnitude slower than
+\fB\-\-recover\fR, but can handle a couple of very unlikely cases that
+\fB\-\-recover\fR
+cannot. This recovery method also uses much less disk space than
+\fB\-\-recover\fR. Normally, you should repair first using

+uses no more memory than its memory\-related variables are set to. If you are going to use
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+on very large tables, you should first decide how much memory you want it to use. The default is to use only about 3MB to perform repairs. By using larger values, you can get
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+to operate faster. For example, if you have more than 32MB RAM, you could use options such as these (in addition to any other options you might specify):

+Using
+\fB\-\-sort_buffer_size=16M\fR

+.PP
+Be aware that
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+uses temporary files in

+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+also needs a lot of disk space:

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmyisampack\fR
+utility compresses
+MyISAM
+tables.
+\fBmyisampack\fR
+works by compressing each column in the table separately. Usually,
+\fBmyisampack\fR
+packs the data file 40%\-70%.
+.PP
+When the table is used later, the server reads into memory the information needed to decompress columns. This results in much better performance when accessing individual rows, because you only have to uncompress exactly one row.
+.PP
+MySQL uses
+mmap()
+when possible to perform memory mapping on compressed tables. If
+mmap()
+does not work, MySQL falls back to normal read/write file operations.
+.PP
+Please note the following:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+If the
+\fBmysqld\fR
+server was invoked with external locking disabled, it is not a good idea to invoke
+\fBmyisampack\fR
+if the table might be updated by the server during the packing process. It is safest to compress tables with the server stopped.
+.TP 3n

+.PP
+The
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+Perl script is the main application used to run the MySQL test suite. It invokes
+\fBmysqltest\fR
+to run individual test cases. (Prior to MySQL 4.1, a similar shell script,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run\fR, can be used instead.)
+.PP
+Invoke
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR

+\fImysql\-test\fR
+directory like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql\-test\-run.pl [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] [\fR\fB\fItest_name\fR\fR\fB] ...\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+Each
+\fItest_name\fR
+argument names a test case. The test case file that corresponds to the test name is
+\fIt/\fR\fI\fItest_name\fR\fR\fI.test\fR.
+.PP
+For each
+\fItest_name\fR
+argument,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+runs the named test case. With no
+\fItest_name\fR
+arguments,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+runs all
+\fI.test\fR
+files in the
+\fIt\fR
+subdirectory.
+.PP
+If no suffix is given for the test name, a suffix of
+\fI.test\fR
+is assumed. Any leading path name is ignored. These commands are equivalent:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql\-test\-run.pl mytest\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+As of MySQL 5.1.23, a suite name can be given as part of the test name. That is, the syntax for naming a test is:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+[\fIsuite_name\fR.]\fItest_name\fR[.\fIsuffix\fR]
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If a suite name is given,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+looks in that suite for the test. With no suite name,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+looks in the default list of suites for a match and runs the test in any suites where it finds the test. Suppose that the default suite list is
+main,
+binlog,
+rpl, and that a test
+\fImytest.test\fR
+exists in the
+main
+and
+rpl
+suites. With an argument of
+mytest
+or
+mytest.test,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+will run
+\fImytest.test\fR
+from the
+main
+and
+rpl
+suites.
+.PP
+To run a family of test cases for which the names share a common prefix, use the
+\fB\-\-do\-test=\fR\fB\fIprefix\fR\fR
+option. For example,
+\fB\-\-do\-test=rpl\fR
+runs the replication tests (test cases that have names beginning with

+\fB\-\-skip\-test\fR
+has the opposite effect of skipping test cases for which the names share a common prefix.
+.PP
+As of MySQL 5.0.54/5.1.23/6.0.5, the argument for the
+\fB\-\-do\-test\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-skip\-test\fR
+options allows more flexible specification of which tests to perform or skip. If the argument contains a pattern metacharacter other than a lone period, it is interpreted as a Perl regular expression and applies to test names that match the pattern. If the argument contains a lone period or does not contain any pattern metacharacters, it is interpreted the same way as previously and matches test names that begin with the argument value. For example,
+\fB\-\-do\-test=testa\fR
+matches tests that begin with
+testa,
+\fB\-\-do\-test=main.testa\fR
+matches tests in the
+main
+test suite that begin with
+testa, and
+\fB\-\-do\-test=main.*testa\fR
+matches test names that contain
+main
+followed by
+testa
+with anything in between. In the latter case, the pattern match is not anchored to the beginning of the test name, so it also matches names such as
+xmainytestz.
+.PP
+To perform setup prior to running tests,
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR

+\fBmysqld\fR
+with the
+\fB\-\-bootstrap\fR

+\fB\-\-skip\-grant\-tables\fR
+options (see
+[1]\&\fITypical \fBconfigure\fR Options\fR). If MySQL was configured with the
+\fB\-\-disable\-grant\-options\fR
+option,
+\fB\-\-bootstrap\fR,
+\fB\-\-skip\-grant\-tables\fR, and
+\fB\-\-init\-file\fR
+will be disabled. To handle this, set the
+MYSQLD_BOOTSTRAP
+environment variable to the full path name of a server that has all options enabled.
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+will use that server to perform setup; it is not used to run the tests.

+\fBmysql [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysql\fR
+is a simple SQL shell (with GNU
+readline
+capabilities). It supports interactive and non\-interactive use. When used interactively, query results are presented in an ASCII\-table format. When used non\-interactively (for example, as a filter), the result is presented in tab\-separated format. The output format can be changed using command options.
+.PP
+If you have problems due to insufficient memory for large result sets, use the
+\fB\-\-quick\fR
+option. This forces
+\fBmysql\fR
+to retrieve results from the server a row at a time rather than retrieving the entire result set and buffering it in memory before displaying it. This is done by returning the result set using the
+mysql_use_result()
+C API function in the client/server library rather than
+mysql_store_result().
+.PP
+Using
+\fBmysql\fR
+is very easy. Invoke it from the prompt of your command interpreter as follows:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Or:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql \-\-user=\fR\fB\fIuser_name\fR\fR\fB \-\-password=\fR\fB\fIyour_password\fR\fR\fB \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Then type an SQL statement, end it with
+\(lq;\(rq,
+\\g, or
+\\G
+and press Enter.
+.PP
+As of MySQL 5.1.10, typing Control\-C causes
+\fBmysql\fR
+to attempt to kill the current statement. If this cannot be done, or Control\-C is typed again before the statement is killed,
+\fBmysql\fR
+exits. Previously, Control\-C caused
+\fBmysql\fR
+to exit in all cases.
+.PP
+You can execute SQL statements in a script file (batch file) like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB < \fR\fB\fIscript.sql\fR\fR\fB > \fR\fB\fIoutput.tab\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH "\fBMYSQL\fR OPTIONS"
+.PP
+\fBmysql\fR
+supports the following options:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-help\fR,
+\fB\-?\fR
+.sp
+Display a help message and exit.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-auto\-rehash\fR
+.sp
+Enable automatic rehashing. This option is on by default, which enables database, table, and column name completion. Use
+\fB\-\-disable\-auto\-rehash\fR
+to disable rehashing. That causes
+\fBmysql\fR
+to start faster, but you must issue the
+rehash
+command if you want to use name completion.
+.sp
+To complete a name, enter the first part and press Tab. If the name is unambiguous,
+\fBmysql\fR
+completes it. Otherwise, you can press Tab again to see the possible names that begin with what you have typed so far. Completion does not occur if there is no default database.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-batch\fR,
+\fB\-B\fR
+.sp
+Print results using tab as the column separator, with each row on a new line. With this option,
+\fBmysql\fR
+does not use the history file.
+.sp
+Batch mode results in non\-tabular output format and escaping of special characters. Escaping may be disabled by using raw mode; see the description for the
+\fB\-\-raw\fR
+option.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-character\-sets\-dir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR
+.sp
+The directory where character sets are installed. See
+Section\ 9.2, \(lqThe Character Set Used for Data and Sorting\(rq.

+\fB\-\-column\-names\fR
+.sp
+Write column names in results.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-column\-type\-info\fR,
+\fB\-m\fR
+.sp
+Display result set metadata. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.14. (Before that, use

+short option was added in MySQL 5.1.21.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-comments\fR,
+\fB\-c\fR
+.sp
+Whether to preserve comments in statements sent to the server. The default is \-\-skip\-comments (discard comments), enable with \-\-comments (preserve comments). This option was added in MySQL 5.1.23.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-compress\fR,

+\'d:t:o,/tmp/mysql.trace'.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-debug\-check\fR
+.sp
+Print some debugging information when the program exits. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.21.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-debug\-info\fR,
+\fB\-T\fR
+.sp
+Before MySQL 5.1.14, this option prints debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics when the program exits, and also causes display of result set metadata during execution. As of MySQL 5.1.14, use
+\fB\-\-column\-type\-info\fR
+to display result set metadata.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-default\-character\-set=\fR\fB\fIcharset_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+Use

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-delimiter=\fR\fB\fIstr\fR\fR
+.sp
+Set the statement delimiter. The default is the semicolon character (\(lq;\(rq).
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-disable\-named\-commands\fR
+.sp
+Disable named commands. Use the
+\\*
+form only, or use named commands only at the beginning of a line ending with a semicolon (\(lq;\(rq).
+\fBmysql\fR
+starts with this option
+\fIenabled\fR

+Set the prompt to the specified format. The default is
+mysql>. The special sequences that the prompt can contain are described in
+the section called \(lq\fBMYSQL\fR COMMANDS\(rq.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY}\fR
+.sp
+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 allowable values, see
+Section\ 4.2.2, \(lqConnecting to the MySQL Server\(rq.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-quick\fR,
+\fB\-q\fR
+.sp
+Do not cache each query result, print each row as it is received. This may slow down the server if the output is suspended. With this option,
+\fBmysql\fR
+does not use the history file.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-raw\fR,
+\fB\-r\fR
+.sp
+For tabular output, the
+\(lqboxing\(rq
+around columns enables one column value to be distinguished from another. For non\-tabular output (such as is produced in batch mode or when the
+\fB\-\-batch\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-silent\fR
+option is given), special characters are escaped in the output so they can be identified easily. Newline, tab,
+NUL, and backslash are written as
+\\n,
+\\t,
+\\0, and
+\\\\. The
+\fB\-\-raw\fR
+option disables this character escaping.
+.sp
+The following example demonstrates tabular versus non\-tabular output and the use of raw mode to disable escaping:

+.PP
+For beginners, a useful startup option is
+\fB\-\-safe\-updates\fR
+(or
+\fB\-\-i\-am\-a\-dummy\fR, which has the same effect). It is helpful for cases when you might have issued a
+DELETE FROM \fItbl_name\fR
+statement but forgotten the
+WHERE
+clause. Normally, such a statement deletes all rows from the table. With
+\fB\-\-safe\-updates\fR, you can delete rows only by specifying the key values that identify them. This helps prevent accidents.
+.PP
+When you use the
+\fB\-\-safe\-updates\fR
+option,
+\fBmysql\fR
+issues the following statement when it connects to the MySQL server:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+SET sql_safe_updates=1, sql_select_limit=1000, sql_max_join_size=1000000;

+\(bu
+You are not allowed to execute an
+UPDATE
+or
+DELETE
+statement unless you specify a key constraint in the

+.RS 3n

+\fBmysql {start|stop}\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+MySQL distributions on Unix include a script named
+\fBmysql.server\fR. It can be used on systems such as Linux and Solaris that use System V\-style run directories to start and stop system services. It is also used by the Mac OS X Startup Item for MySQL.
+.PP
+\fBmysql.server\fR
+can be found in the
+\fIsupport\-files\fR
+directory under your MySQL installation directory or in a MySQL source distribution.
+.PP
+If you use the Linux server RPM package (MySQL\-server\-\fIVERSION\fR.rpm), the
+\fBmysql.server\fR
+script will be installed in the
+\fI/etc/init.d\fR
+directory with the name
+\fImysql\fR. You need not install it manually. See
+Section\ 2.4, \(lqInstalling MySQL from RPM Packages on Linux\(rq, for more information on the Linux RPM packages.
+.PP
+Some vendors provide RPM packages that install a startup script under a different name such as
+\fBmysqld\fR.
+.PP
+If you install MySQL from a source distribution or using a binary distribution format that does not install
+\fBmysql.server\fR
+automatically, you can install it manually. Instructions are provided in
+Section\ 2.11.2.2, \(lqStarting and Stopping MySQL Automatically\(rq.
+.PP
+\fBmysql.server\fR
+reads options from the
+[mysql.server]
+and
+[mysqld]
+sections of option files. For backward compatibility, it also reads
+[mysql_server]
+sections, although you should rename such sections to
+[mysql.server]
+when using MySQL 5.1.
+.PP
+\fBmysql.server\fR
+understands the following options:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-basedir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR
+.sp
+The path to the MySQL installation directory.
+.TP 3n

+.sp
+How long in seconds to wait for confirmation of server startup. If the server does not start within this time,
+\fBmysql.server\fR
+exits with an error. The default value is 900. A value of 0 means not to wait at all for startup. Negative values mean to wait forever (no timeout). This option was added in MySQL 5.1.17. Before that, a value of 900 is always used.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-use\-mysqld_safe\fR

+Use
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR

+You can use

+\fBmysql_config\fR

+.RE

+When you use
+\fBmysql_config\fR

+.PP
+Some releases of MySQL introduce changes to the structure of the system tables in the
+mysql
+database to add new privileges or support new features. When you update to a new version of MySQL, you should update your system tables as well to make sure that their structure is up to date. Otherwise, there might be capabilities that you cannot take advantage of. First, make a backup of your
+mysql
+database, and then use the following procedure.
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+As of MySQL 5.1.7,
+\fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR
+is superseded by
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR, which should be used instead. See
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR(1).
+.PP
+On Unix or Unix\-like systems, update the system tables by running the
+\fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR
+script:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+You must run this script while the server is running. It attempts to connect to the server running on the local host as
+root. If your
+root
+account requires a password, indicate the password on the command line like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables \-\-password=\fR\fB\fIroot_password\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR
+script performs any actions necessary to convert your system tables to the current format. You might see some
+Duplicate column name
+warnings as it runs; you can ignore them.
+.PP
+After running the script, stop the server and restart it so that it uses any changes that were made to the system tables.
+.PP
+On Windows systems, MySQL distributions include a
+\fImysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql\fR
+SQL script that you can run using the
+\fBmysql\fR
+client. For example, if your MySQL installation is located at
+\fIC:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1\fR, the commands look like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+C:\\> \fBcd "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1"\fR
+C:\\> \fBbin\\mysql \-u root \-p mysql\fR
+mysql> \fBSOURCE share/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+Prior to version 5.1.17, this script is found in the
+\fIscripts\fR
+directory.
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysql\fR
+command will prompt you for the
+root
+password; enter it when prompted.
+.PP
+If your installation is located in some other directory, adjust the path names appropriately.
+.PP
+As with the Unix procedure, you might see some
+Duplicate column name
+warnings as
+\fBmysql\fR
+processes the statements in the
+\fImysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql\fR
+script; you can ignore them.
+.PP
+After running the script, stop the server and restart it.

+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \fR\fB\fIarguments\fR\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR
+program loads the time zone tables in the
+mysql
+database. It is used on systems that have a
+zoneinfo
+database (the set of files describing time zones). Examples of such systems are Linux, FreeBSD, Sun Solaris, and Mac OS X. One likely location for these files is the
+\fI/usr/share/zoneinfo\fR
+directory (\fI/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo\fR
+on Solaris). If your system does not have a zoneinfo database, you can use the downloadable package described in
+Section\ 9.7, \(lqMySQL Server Time Zone Support\(rq.
+.PP
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR
+can be invoked several ways:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \fR\fB\fItz_dir\fR\fR
+shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \fR\fB\fItz_file tz_name\fR\fR
+shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \-\-leap \fR\fB\fItz_file\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+For the first invocation syntax, pass the zoneinfo directory path name to
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR
+and send the output into the
+\fBmysql\fR
+program. For example:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql \-u root mysql\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR
+reads your system's time zone files and generates SQL statements from them.
+\fBmysql\fR
+processes those statements to load the time zone tables.
+.PP
+The second syntax causes
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR
+to load a single time zone file
+\fItz_file\fR
+that corresponds to a time zone name
+\fItz_name\fR:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \fR\fB\fItz_file\fR\fR\fB \fR\fB\fItz_name\fR\fR\fB | mysql \-u root mysql\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If your time zone needs to account for leap seconds, invoke
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR
+using the third syntax, which initializes the leap second information.
+\fItz_file\fR
+is the name of your time zone file:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql \-\-leap \fR\fB\fItz_file\fR\fR\fB | mysql \-u root mysql\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+After running
+\fBmysql_tzinfo_to_sql\fR, it is best to restart the server so that it does not continue to use any previously cached time zone data.

+\fBmysql_upgrade [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+should be executed each time you upgrade MySQL. It checks all tables in all databases for incompatibilities with the current version of MySQL Server. If a table is found to have a possible incompatibility, it is checked. If any problems are found, the table is repaired.
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+also upgrades the system tables so that you can take advantage of new privileges or capabilities that might have been added.
+.PP
+All checked and repaired tables are marked with the current MySQL version number. This ensures that next time you run
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+with the same version of the server, it can tell whether there is any need to check or repair the table again.
+.PP
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+also saves the MySQL version number in a file named
+\fImysql_upgrade_info\fR
+in the data directory. This is used to quickly check if all tables have been checked for this release so that table\-checking can be skipped. To ignore this file, use the
+\fB\-\-force\fR
+option.

+.it 1 an-trap

+\fBCaution\fR
+.PP
+Some upgrade incompatibilities may require special handling
+\fIbefore\fR
+you upgrade your MySQL installation and run
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR. See
+Section\ 2.12.1, \(lqUpgrading MySQL\(rq, for instructions on determining whether any such incompatibilities apply to your installation and how to handle them.
+.PP
+To check and repair tables and to upgrade the system tables,
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+executes the following commands:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+mysqlcheck \-\-check\-upgrade \-\-all\-databases \-\-auto\-repair
+mysql_fix_privilege_tables
+mysqlcheck \-\-all\-databases \-\-check\-upgrade \-\-fix\-db\-names \-\-fix\-table\-names
+.fi
+.RE
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+Prior to MySQL 5.1.31,
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+does not run the third command, which is necessary to re\-encode database or table names that contain non\-alphanumeric characters. (They still appear after the upgrade with the
+#mysql50#
+prefix described in
+Section\ 8.2.3, \(lqMapping of Identifiers to File Names\(rq.) If you have such database or table names, execute the third command manually after executing
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR.
+.PP
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+supersedes the older
+\fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR
+script. In MySQL 5.1.7,
+\fBmysql_upgrade \fR
+was added as a shell script and worked only for Unix systems. As of MySQL 5.1.10,
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+is an executable binary and is available on all systems. On systems older than those supporting
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR, you can execute the
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+command manually, and then upgrade your system tables as described in
+\fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR(1).
+.PP
+If you install MySQL from RPM packages on Linux, you must install the server and client RPMs.
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+is included in the server RPM but requires the client RPM because the latter includes
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR. (See
+Section\ 2.4, \(lqInstalling MySQL from RPM Packages on Linux\(rq.)
+.PP
+For details about what is checked, see the description of the
+FOR UPGRADE
+option of the
+CHECK TABLE
+statement (see
+Section\ 12.5.2.3, \(lqCHECK TABLE Syntax\(rq).
+.PP
+To use
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR, make sure that the server is running, and then invoke it like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysql_upgrade [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+After running
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR, stop the server and restart it so that it uses any changes that were made to the system tables.
+.PP
+\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
+reads options from the command line and from the
+[mysql_upgrade]
+group in option files. It supports the options in the following list. Other options are passed to
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+and to
+\fBmysql_fix_privilege_tables\fR. For example, it might be necessary to specify the
+\fB\-\-password[=\fR\fB\fIpassword\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+option.

+\fBmysqlaccess\fR
+is a diagnostic tool that Yves Carlier has provided for the MySQL distribution. It checks the access privileges for a host name, user name, and database combination. Note that
+\fBmysqlaccess\fR
+checks access using only the

+Create a new database named
+\fIdb_name\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+debug
+.sp
+Tell the server to write debug information to the error log.
+.sp
+Beginning with MySQL 5.1.12, this includes information about the Event Scheduler. See
+Section\ 19.4.5, \(lqEvent Scheduler Status\(rq.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+drop \fIdb_name\fR

+Delete the database named

+.TP 3n
+\(bu

+Display the server status variables and their values.
+.TP 3n

+Flush all information in the host cache.

+flush\-logs
+.sp
+Flush all logs.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+flush\-privileges
+.sp
+Reload the grant tables (same as

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+flush\-status
+.sp
+Clear status variables.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+flush\-tables
+.sp
+Flush all tables.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+flush\-threads
+.sp
+Flush the thread cache.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+kill \fIid\fR,\fIid\fR,...
+.sp
+Kill server threads. If multiple thread ID values are given, there must be no spaces in the list.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+old\-password \fInew\-password\fR
+.sp
+This is like the
+password
+command but stores the password using the old (pre\-4.1) password\-hashing format. (See
+Section\ 5.5.6.3, \(lqPassword Hashing in MySQL\(rq.)
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+password \fInew\-password\fR
+.sp
+Set a new password. This changes the password to
+\fInew\-password\fR
+for the account that you use with
+\fBmysqladmin\fR
+for connecting to the server. Thus, the next time you invoke
+\fBmysqladmin\fR
+(or any other client program) using the same account, you will need to specify the new password.
+.sp
+If the
+\fInew\-password\fR
+value contains spaces or other characters that are special to your command interpreter, you need to enclose it within quotes. On Windows, be sure to use double quotes rather than single quotes; single quotes are not stripped from the password, but rather are interpreted as part of the password. For example:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqladmin password "my new password"\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBCaution\fR
+Do not use this command used if the server was started with the
+\fB\-\-skip\-grant\-tables\fR
+option. No password change will be applied. This is true even if you precede the
+password
+command with
+flush\-privileges
+on the same command line to re\-enable the grant tables because the flush operation occurs after you connect. However, you can use
+\fBmysqladmin flush\-privileges\fR
+to re\-enable the grant table and then use a separate
+\fBmysqladmin password\fR
+command to change the password.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+ping
+.sp
+Check whether the server is alive. The return status from
+\fBmysqladmin\fR
+is 0 if the server is running, 1 if it is not. This is 0 even in case of an error such as
+Access denied, because this means that the server is running but refused the connection, which is different from the server not running.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+processlist
+.sp
+Show a list of active server threads. This is like the output of the
+SHOW PROCESSLIST
+statement. If the
+\fB\-\-verbose\fR
+option is given, the output is like that of
+SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST. (See
+Section\ 12.5.5.31, \(lqSHOW PROCESSLIST Syntax\(rq.)
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+reload
+.sp
+Reload the grant tables.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+refresh
+.sp
+Flush all tables and close and open log files.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+shutdown
+.sp
+Stop the server.
+.TP 3n

+Start replication on a slave server.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The server's binary log consists of files containing
+\(lqevents\(rq
+that describe modifications to database contents. The server writes these files in binary format. To display their contents in text format, use the
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+utility. You can also use
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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, \(lqThe Binary Log\(rq, and
+Section\ 16.4.2, \(lqReplication Relay and Status Files\(rq.
+.PP
+Invoke
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIlog_file\fR\fR\fB ...\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+For example, to display the contents of the binary log file named
+\fIbinlog.000003\fR, use this command:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.0000003\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The output includes events contained in
+\fIbinlog.000003\fR. Event information includes the 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.
+.PP
+The output from
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+can be re\-executed (for example, by using it as input to
+\fBmysql\fR) to reapply 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.
+.PP
+Normally, you use
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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
+\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
+option. When you read remote binary logs, the connection parameter options can be given to indicate how to connect to the server. These options are
+\fB\-\-host\fR,
+\fB\-\-password\fR,
+\fB\-\-port\fR,
+\fB\-\-protocol\fR,
+\fB\-\-socket\fR, and
+\fB\-\-user\fR; they are ignored except when you also use the
+\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR
+option.
+.PP
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+supports the following options:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-help\fR,
+\fB\-?\fR
+.sp
+Display a help message and exit.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-base64\-output[=\fR\fB\fIvalue\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.sp
+This option determines when events should be displayed encoded as base\-64 strings using
+BINLOG
+statements. The option has these allowable values (not case sensitive):
+.RS 3n
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+AUTO
+("automatic") or
+UNSPEC
+("unspecified") displays
+BINLOG
+statements automatically when necessary (that is, for format description events and row events). This is the default if no
+\fB\-\-base64\-output\fR
+option is given.
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+Automatic
+BINLOG
+display is the only safe behavior if you intend to use the output of
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+ALWAYS
+displays
+BINLOG
+statements whenever possible. This is the implied value if the option is given as
+\fB\-\-base64\-output\fR
+without a value.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+NEVER
+causes
+BINLOG
+statements not to be displayed.
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+exits with an error if a row event is found that must be displayed using
+BINLOG.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+DECODE\-ROWS
+specifies to
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+that you intend for row events to be decoded and displayed as commented SQL statements by also specifying the
+\fB\-\-verbose\fR
+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.
+.RE
+.IP "" 3n
+The
+\fB\-\-base64\-output\fR
+option was introduced in MySQL 5.1.5, to be given as
+\fB\-\-base64\-output\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-skip\-base64\-output\fR
+(with the sense of
+AUTO
+or
+NEVER). The option values described in the preceding list may be used as of MySQL 5.1.24, with the exception of
+UNSPEC
+and
+DECODE\-ROWS, which are available as of MySQL 5.1.28.
+.sp
+For examples that show the effect of
+\fB\-\-base64\-output\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-verbose\fR
+on row event output, see
+the section called \(lq\fBMYSQLBINLOG\fR ROW EVENT DISPLAY\(rq.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-character\-sets\-dir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-database=\fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR,
+\fB\-d \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+List entries for just this database (local log only). You can only specify one database with this option \- if you specify multiple
+\fB\-\-database\fR
+options, only the last one is used. This option forces
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+to output entries from the binary log where the default database (that is, the one selected by
+USE) is
+\fIdb_name\fR. Note that this does not replicate cross\-database statements such as
+UPDATE \fIsome_db.some_table\fR SET foo='bar'
+while having selected a different database or no database.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-debug[=\fR\fB\fIdebug_options\fR\fR\fB]\fR,

+string is often
+\'d:t:o,\fIfile_name\fR'.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-debug\-check\fR
+.sp
+Print some debugging information when the program exits. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.21.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu

+Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics when the program exits. This option was added in MySQL 5.1.21.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-disable\-log\-bin\fR,
+\fB\-D\fR
+.sp
+Disable binary logging. This is useful for avoiding an endless loop if you use the
+\fB\-\-to\-last\-log\fR
+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.
+.sp
+This option requires that you have the
+SUPER
+privilege. It causes
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-force\-read\fR,
+\fB\-f\fR
+.sp
+With this option, if
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+reads a binary log event that it does not recognize, it prints a warning, ignores the event, and continues. Without this option,
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+stops if it reads such an event.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-hexdump\fR,
+\fB\-H\fR
+.sp
+Display a hex dump of the log in comments, as described in

+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 allowable values, see
+Section\ 4.2.2, \(lqConnecting to the MySQL Server\(rq.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-read\-from\-remote\-server\fR,

+\fB\-\-port\fR,
+\fB\-\-protocol\fR,
+\fB\-\-socket\fR, and

+.PP
+You can pipe the output of

+Section\ 6.1, \(lqDatabase Backups\(rq). For example:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf

+.RE
+.PP
+Or:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.[0\-9]* | mysql\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+You can also redirect the output of
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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
+\fBmysql\fR
+program.
+.PP
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+has the
+\fB\-\-start\-position\fR
+option, which prints only those statements 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
+\fB\-\-stop\-datetime\fR
+option (to be able to say, for example,
+\(lqroll forward my databases to how they were today at 10:30 a.m.\(rq).
+.PP
+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
+\fIunsafe\fR:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql # DANGER!!\fR
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.000002 | mysql # DANGER!!\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Processing binary logs this way using different 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
+\fBmysql\fR
+process terminates, the server drops the temporary table. When the second
+\fBmysql\fR
+process attempts to use the table, the server reports
+\(lqunknown table.\(rq
+.PP
+To avoid problems like this, use a
+\fIsingle\fR
+connection to execute the contents of all binary logs that you want to process. Here is one way to do so:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.000001 binlog.000002 | mysql\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Another approach is to write all the logs to a single file and then process the file:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.000001 >  /tmp/statements.sql\fR
+shell> \fBmysqlbinlog binlog.000002 >> /tmp/statements.sql\fR
+shell> \fBmysql \-e "source /tmp/statements.sql"\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+can produce output that reproduces a
+LOAD DATA INFILE
+operation without the original data file.
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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
+\fB\-\-local\-load\fR
+option.
+.PP
+Because
+\fBmysqlbinlog\fR
+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 to allow
+LOCAL
+capability. See
+Section\ 5.3.4, \(lqSecurity Issues with LOAD DATA LOCAL\(rq.

+\fBWarning\fR
+.PP
+The temporary files created for
+LOAD DATA LOCAL
+statements are
+\fInot\fR
+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

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+client checks, repairs, optimizes, and analyzes tables.
+.PP
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+is similar in function to
+\fBmyisamchk\fR, but works differently. The main operational difference is that
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+must be used when the
+\fBmysqld\fR
+server is running, whereas
+\fBmyisamchk\fR
+should be used when it is not. The benefit of using
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+is that you do not have to stop the server to check or repair your tables.
+.PP
+\fBmysqlcheck\fR
+uses the SQL statements
+CHECK TABLE,
+REPAIR TABLE,
+ANALYZE TABLE, and
+OPTIMIZE TABLE
+in a convenient way for the user. It determines which statements to use for the operation you want to perform, and then sends the statements to the server to be executed. For details about which storage engines each statement works with, see the descriptions for those statements in
+Chapter\ 12, SQL Statement Syntax.
+.PP
+The

+.PP
+\fBmysqld\fR, also known as MySQL Server, is the main program that does most of the work in a MySQL installation. MySQL Server manages access to the MySQL data directory that contains databases and tables. The data directory is also the default location for other information such as log files and status files.
+.PP
+When MySQL server starts, it listens for network connections from client programs and manages access to databases on behalf of those clients.
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysqld\fR
+program has many options that can be specified at startup. For a complete list of options, run this command:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqld \-\-verbose \-\-help\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+MySQL Server also has a set of system variables that affect its operation as it runs. System variables can be set at server startup, and many of them can be changed at runtime to effect dynamic server reconfiguration. MySQL Server also has a set of status variables that provide information about its operation. You can monitor these status variables to access runtime performance characteristics.
+.PP
+For a full description of MySQL Server command options, system variables, and status variables, see
+Section\ 5.1, \(lqThe MySQL Server\(rq. For information about installing MySQL and setting up the initial configuration, see

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR
+is designed to manage several
+\fBmysqld\fR
+processes that listen for connections on different Unix socket files and TCP/IP ports. It can start or stop servers, or report their current status. The MySQL Instance Manager is an alternative means of managing multiple servers (see
+\fBmysqlmanager\fR(8)).
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR
+searches for groups named
+[mysqld\fIN\fR]
+in
+\fImy.cnf\fR
+(or in the file named by the
+\fB\-\-config\-file\fR
+option).
+\fIN\fR
+can be any positive integer. This number is referred to in the following discussion as the option group number, or
+\fIGNR\fR. Group numbers distinguish option groups from one another and are used as arguments to
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR
+to specify which servers you want to start, stop, or obtain a status report for. Options listed in these groups are the same that you would use in the
+[mysqld]
+group used for starting
+\fBmysqld\fR. (See, for example,
+Section\ 2.11.2.2, \(lqStarting and Stopping MySQL Automatically\(rq.) However, when using multiple servers, it is necessary that each one use its own value for options such as the Unix socket file and TCP/IP port number. For more information on which options must be unique per server in a multiple\-server environment, see
+Section\ 5.6, \(lqRunning Multiple MySQL Servers on the Same Machine\(rq.
+.PP
+To invoke
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR, use the following syntax:

+start,
+stop, and

+indicate which operation to perform. You can perform the designated operation for a single server or multiple servers, depending on the
+\fIGNR\fR
+list that follows the option name. If there is no list,
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR
+performs the operation for all servers in the option file.
+.PP
+Each
+\fIGNR\fR
+value represents an option group number or range of group numbers. The value should be the number at the end of the group name in the option file. For example, the
+\fIGNR\fR
+for a group named
+[mysqld17]
+is
+17. To specify a range of numbers, separate the first and last numbers by a dash. The
+\fIGNR\fR
+value
+10\-13
+represents groups
+[mysqld10]
+through
+[mysqld13]. Multiple groups or group ranges can be specified on the command line, separated by commas. There must be no whitespace characters (spaces or tabs) in the
+\fIGNR\fR
+list; anything after a whitespace character is ignored.

+SHUTDOWN
+privilege. If the servers that you want to manage have different user names or passwords for the administrative accounts, you might want to create an account on each server that has the same user name and password. For example, you might set up a common
+multi_admin
+account by executing the following commands for each server:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf

+.RE
+See
+Section\ 5.4, \(lqThe MySQL Access Privilege System\(rq. You have to do this for each
+\fBmysqld\fR
+server. Change the connection parameters appropriately when connecting to each one. Note that the host name part of the account name must allow you to connect as
+multi_admin
+from the host where you want to run
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+The Unix socket file and the TCP/IP port number must be different for every
+\fBmysqld\fR. (Alternatively, if the host has multiple network addresses, you can use
+\fB\-\-bind\-address\fR
+to cause different servers to listen to different interfaces.)

+\(bu
+The

+option is very important if you are using
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+to start
+\fBmysqld\fR
+(for example,
+\fB\-\-mysqld=mysqld_safe\fR) Every
+\fBmysqld\fR
+should have its own process ID file. The advantage of using
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+instead of
+\fBmysqld\fR
+is that
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+monitors its
+\fBmysqld\fR
+process and restarts it if the process terminates due to a signal sent using
+kill \-9
+or for other reasons, such as a segmentation fault. Please note that the
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+script might require that you start it from a certain place. This means that you might have to change location to a certain directory before running

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+You might want to use the
+\fB\-\-user\fR
+option for
+\fBmysqld\fR, but to do this you need to run the
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR
+script as the Unix
+root
+user. Having the option in the option file doesn't matter; you just get a warning if you are not the superuser and the
+\fBmysqld\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+The following example shows how you might set up an option file for use with
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR. The order in which the
+\fBmysqld\fR
+programs are started or stopped depends on the order in which they appear in the option file. Group numbers need not form an unbroken sequence. The first and fifth
+[mysqld\fIN\fR]

+\(lqgaps\(rq

+\fBmysqld_safe \fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+is the recommended way to start a
+\fBmysqld\fR
+server on Unix and NetWare.
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+adds some safety features such as restarting the server when an error occurs and logging runtime information to an error log file. Descriptions of error logging and NetWare\-specific behaviors are given later in this section.

+.it 1 an-trap

+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+In MySQL 5.1.20 (only), the default error logging behavior with
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+is to write errors to
+syslog
+on systems that support the
+\fBlogger\fR
+program. This differs from the default behavior of writing an error log file for other versions.
+.PP
+\fBIn 5.1.20, logging to \fR\fBsyslog\fR\fB may fail to operate correctly in some cases, so we recommend that you use \fR\fB\fB\-\-skip\-syslog\fR\fR\fB to use the default log file or \fR\fB\fB\-\-log\-error=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR\fR\fB to specify a log file name explicitly.\fR
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+tries to start an executable named
+\fBmysqld\fR. To override the default behavior and specify explicitly the name of the server you want to run, specify a
+\fB\-\-mysqld\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-mysqld\-version\fR
+option to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR. You can also use
+\fB\-\-ledir\fR
+to indicate the directory where
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+should look for the server.
+.PP
+Many of the options to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+are the same as the options to
+\fBmysqld\fR. See
+Section\ 5.1.2, \(lqServer Command Options\(rq.
+.PP
+All options specified to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+on the command line are passed to
+\fBmysqld\fR. If you want to use any options that are specific to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+and that
+\fBmysqld\fR
+doesn't support, do not specify them on the command line. Instead, list them in the
+[mysqld_safe]
+group of an option file. See
+Section\ 4.2.3.2, \(lqUsing Option Files\(rq.
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+reads all options from the
+[mysqld],
+[server], and
+[mysqld_safe]
+sections in option files. For example, if you specify a
+[mysqld]
+section like this,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+will find and use the
+\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
+option:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+[mysqld]
+log\-error=error.log
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+For backward compatibility,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+also reads
+[safe_mysqld]
+sections, although you should rename such sections to
+[mysqld_safe]
+in MySQL 5.1 installations.
+.PP
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+supports the following options:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-help\fR
+.sp
+Display a help message and exit.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-autoclose\fR
+.sp
+(NetWare only) On NetWare,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+provides a screen presence. When you unload (shut down) the
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+NLM, the screen does not by default go away. Instead, it prompts for user input:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+*<NLM has terminated; Press any key to close the screen>*
+.fi
+.RE
+If you want NetWare to close the screen automatically instead, use the
+\fB\-\-autoclose\fR
+option to
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-basedir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR
+.sp
+The path to the MySQL installation directory.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-core\-file\-size=\fR\fB\fIsize\fR\fR
+.sp
+The size of the core file that
+\fBmysqld\fR
+should be able to create. The option value is passed to
+\fBulimit \-c\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-datadir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR
+.sp
+The path to the data directory.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-defaults\-extra\-file=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR
+.sp
+The name of an option file to be read in addition to the usual option files. This must be the first option on the command line if it is used. If the file does not exist or is otherwise inaccessible, the server will exit with an error.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-defaults\-file=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+The name of an option file to be read instead of the usual option files. This must be the first option on the command line if it is used.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-ledir=\fR\fB\fIpath\fR\fR
+.sp
+If
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+cannot find the server, use this option to indicate the path name to the directory where the server is located.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-log\-error=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+Write the error log to the given file. See
+Section\ 5.2.2, \(lqThe Error Log\(rq.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-mysqld=\fR\fB\fIprog_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+The name of the server program (in the
+ledir
+directory) that you want to start. This option is needed if you use the MySQL binary distribution but have the data directory outside of the binary distribution. If
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+cannot find the server, use the
+\fB\-\-ledir\fR
+option to indicate the path name to the directory where the server is located.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-mysqld\-version=\fR\fB\fIsuffix\fR\fR
+.sp
+This option is similar to the
+\fB\-\-mysqld\fR
+option, but you specify only the suffix for the server program name. The basename is assumed to be
+\fBmysqld\fR. For example, if you use
+\fB\-\-mysqld\-version=debug\fR,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+starts the
+\fBmysqld\-debug\fR
+program in the
+ledir
+directory. If the argument to
+\fB\-\-mysqld\-version\fR
+is empty,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+uses
+\fBmysqld\fR
+in the
+ledir
+directory.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-nice=\fR\fB\fIpriority\fR\fR
+.sp
+Use the
+nice
+program to set the server's scheduling priority to the given value.
+.TP 3n

+Do not read any option files. This must be the first option on the command line if it is used.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-open\-files\-limit=\fR\fB\fIcount\fR\fR
+.sp
+The number of files that
+\fBmysqld\fR
+should be able to open. The option value is passed to
+\fBulimit \-n\fR. Note that you need to start
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+as
+root
+for this to work properly!
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-pid\-file=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+The path name of the process ID file.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-port=\fR\fB\fIport_num\fR\fR
+.sp
+The port number that the server should use when listening for TCP/IP connections. The port number must be 1024 or higher unless the server is started by the
+root
+system user.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-skip\-kill\-mysqld\fR
+.sp
+Do not try to kill stray
+\fBmysqld\fR
+processes at startup. This option works only on Linux.
+.TP 3n

+\fB\-\-syslog\fR
+causes error messages to be sent to
+syslog
+on systems that support the

+For logging to
+syslog, messages from
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR

+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+script is written so that it normally can start a server that was installed from either a source or a binary distribution of MySQL, even though these types of distributions typically install the server in slightly different locations. (See
+Section\ 2.1.5, \(lqInstallation Layouts\(rq.)
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+expects one of the following conditions to be true:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+The server and databases can be found relative to the working directory (the directory from which
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+is invoked). For binary distributions,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+looks under its working directory for
+\fIbin\fR
+and
+\fIdata\fR
+directories. For source distributions, it looks for
+\fIlibexec\fR
+and
+\fIvar\fR
+directories. This condition should be met if you execute
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+from your MySQL installation directory (for example,
+\fI/usr/local/mysql\fR
+for a binary distribution).
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+If the server and databases cannot be found relative to the working directory,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+attempts to locate them by absolute path names. Typical locations are
+\fI/usr/local/libexec\fR
+and
+\fI/usr/local/var\fR. The actual locations are determined from the values configured into the distribution at the time it was built. They should be correct if MySQL is installed in the location specified at configuration time.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+Because
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+tries to find the server and databases relative to its own working directory, you can install a binary distribution of MySQL anywhere, as long as you run
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+from the MySQL installation directory:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBcd \fR\fB\fImysql_installation_directory\fR\fR
+shell> \fBbin/mysqld_safe &\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+If
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+fails, even when invoked from the MySQL installation directory, you can specify the
+\fB\-\-ledir\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-datadir\fR
+options to indicate the directories in which the server and databases are located on your system.
+.PP
+When you use
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+to start
+\fBmysqld\fR,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+arranges for error (and notice) messages from itself and from
+\fBmysqld\fR
+to go to the same destination.
+.PP
+As of MySQL 5.1.20, there are several
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+options for controlling the destination of these messages:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-syslog\fR: Write error messages to
+syslog
+on systems that support the
+\fBlogger\fR
+program.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-skip\-syslog\fR: Do not write error messages to
+syslog. Messages are written to the default error log file (\fI\fIhost_name\fR\fR\fI.err\fR
+in the data directory), or to a named file if the
+\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
+option is given.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-log\-error=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR: Write error messages to the named error file.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+If none of these options is given, the default is
+\fB\-\-skip\-syslog\fR.
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+In MySQL 5.1.20
+\fIonly\fR, the default is
+\fB\-\-syslog\fR. This differs from logging behavior for other versions of MySQL, for which the default is to write messages to the default error log file.
+.PP
+If
+\fB\-\-syslog\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
+are both given, a warning is issued and
+\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
+takes precedence.
+.PP
+When
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+writes a message, notices go to the logging destination (syslog
+or the error log file) and
+stdout. Errors go to the logging destination and
+stderr.
+.PP
+Before MySQL 5.1.20, error logging is controlled only with the
+\fB\-\-log\-error\fR
+option. If it is given, messages go to the named error file. Otherwise, messages go to the default error file.
+.PP
+Normally, you should not edit the
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+script. Instead, configure
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+by using command\-line options or options in the
+[mysqld_safe]
+section of a
+\fImy.cnf\fR
+option file. In rare cases, it might be necessary to edit
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+to get it to start the server properly. However, if you do this, your modified version of
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+might be overwritten if you upgrade MySQL in the future, so you should make a copy of your edited version that you can reinstall.
+.PP
+On NetWare,
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR
+is a NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) that is ported from the original Unix shell script. It starts the server as follows:
+.TP 3n
+1.
+Runs a number of system and option checks.
+.TP 3n
+2.
+Runs a check on
+MyISAM
+tables.
+.TP 3n

+Provides a screen presence for the MySQL server.
+.TP 3n
+4.
+Starts
+\fBmysqld\fR, monitors it, and restarts it if it terminates in error.

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+client is a backup program originally written by Igor Romanenko. It can be used to dump a database or a collection of databases for backup or transfer to another SQL server (not necessarily a MySQL server). The dump typically contains SQL statements to create the table, populate it, or both. However,
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+can also be used to generate files in CSV, other delimited text, or XML format.
+.PP
+If you are doing a backup on the server and your tables all are
+MyISAM
+tables, consider using the
+\fBmysqlhotcopy\fR
+instead because it can accomplish faster backups and faster restores. See
+\fBmysqlhotcopy\fR(1).
+.PP
+There are three general ways to invoke
+\fBmysqldump\fR:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqldump [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fItables\fR\fR\fB]\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+If you do not name any tables following
+\fIdb_name\fR
+or if you use the
+\fB\-\-databases\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-all\-databases\fR
+option, entire databases are dumped.
+.PP
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+does not dump the
+INFORMATION_SCHEMA
+database. If you name that database explicitly on the command line,
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+silently ignores it.
+.PP
+To get a list of the options your version of
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+supports, execute
+\fBmysqldump \-\-help\fR.
+.PP
+Some
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+options are shorthand for groups of other options.
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-compact\fR
+fall into this category. For example, use of
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+is the same as specifying
+\fB\-\-add\-drop\-table\fR
+\fB\-\-add\-locks\fR
+\fB\-\-create\-options\fR
+\fB\-\-disable\-keys\fR
+\fB\-\-extended\-insert\fR
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR
+\fB\-\-quick\fR
+\fB\-\-set\-charset\fR. Note that all of the options that
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+stands for also are on by default because
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+is on by default.
+.PP
+To reverse the effect of a group option, uses its
+\fB\-\-skip\-\fR\fB\fIxxx\fR\fR
+form (\fB\-\-skip\-opt\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-skip\-compact\fR). It is also possible to select only part of the effect of a group option by following it with options that enable or disable specific features. Here are some examples:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+To select the effect of
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+except for some features, use the
+\fB\-\-skip\fR
+option for each feature. For example, to disable extended inserts and memory buffering, use
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+\fB\-\-skip\-extended\-insert\fR
+\fB\-\-skip\-quick\fR. (As of MySQL 5.1,
+\fB\-\-skip\-extended\-insert\fR
+\fB\-\-skip\-quick\fR
+is sufficient because
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+is on by default.)
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+To reverse
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+for all features except index disabling and table locking, use
+\fB\-\-skip\-opt\fR
+\fB\-\-disable\-keys\fR
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+When you selectively enable or disable the effect of a group option, order is important because options are processed first to last. For example,
+\fB\-\-disable\-keys\fR
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR
+\fB\-\-skip\-opt\fR
+would not have the intended effect; it is the same as
+\fB\-\-skip\-opt\fR
+by itself.
+.PP
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+can retrieve and dump table contents row by row, or it can retrieve the entire content from a table and buffer it in memory before dumping it. Buffering in memory can be a problem if you are dumping large tables. To dump tables row by row, use the
+\fB\-\-quick\fR
+option (or
+\fB\-\-opt\fR, which enables
+\fB\-\-quick\fR). The
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+option (and hence
+\fB\-\-quick\fR) is enabled by default in MySQL 5.1; to enable memory buffering, use
+\fB\-\-skip\-quick\fR.
+.PP
+If you are using a recent version of
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+to generate a dump to be reloaded into a very old MySQL server, you should not use the
+\fB\-\-opt\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-extended\-insert\fR
+option. Use
+\fB\-\-skip\-opt\fR
+instead.

+\fBNote\fR
+Prior to release 5.1.21, this option did not create valid SQL if the database dump contained views. The recreation of views requires the creation and removal of temporary tables and this option suppressed the removal of those temporary tables. As a workaround, use
+\fB\-\-compact\fR
+with the
+\fB\-\-add\-drop\-table\fR
+option and then manually adjust the dump file.
+.TP 3n

+mysql40,
+postgresql,
+oracle,
+mssql,
+db2,
+maxdb,
+no_key_options,

+no_field_options. To use several values, separate them by commas. These values have the same meaning as the corresponding options for setting the server SQL mode. See
+Section\ 5.1.7, \(lqServer SQL Modes\(rq.
+.sp
+This option does not guarantee compatibility with other servers. It only enables those SQL mode values that are currently available for making dump output more compatible. For example,
+\fB\-\-compatible=oracle\fR
+does not map data types to Oracle types or use Oracle comment syntax.

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-databases\fR,
+\fB\-B\fR

+Dump several databases. Normally,
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+treats the first name argument on the command line as a database name and following names as table names. With this option, it treats all name arguments as database names.
+CREATE DATABASE

+\fB\-\-default\-character\-set=\fR\fB\fIcharset_name\fR\fR
+.sp
+Use
+\fIcharset_name\fR
+as the default character set. See

+\fBmysqldump\fR
+uses

+This option has no effect for output data files produced by using the
+\fB\-\-tab\fR
+option. See the description for that option.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-delayed\-insert\fR

+INSERT
+statements.
+.TP 3n

+For each table, surround the
+INSERT
+statements with
+/*!40000 ALTER TABLE \fItbl_name\fR DISABLE KEYS */;
+and
+/*!40000 ALTER TABLE \fItbl_name\fR ENABLE KEYS */;

+\fB\-\-dump\-date\fR
+.sp
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+produces a

+\fB\-A\fR) option, the logs are flushed
+\fIfor each database dumped\fR. The exception is when using
+\fB\-\-lock\-all\-tables\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-master\-data\fR: In this case, the logs are flushed only once, corresponding to the moment that all tables are locked. If you want your dump and the log flush to happen at exactly the same moment, you should use

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-force\fR,
+\fB\-f\fR
+.sp
+Continue even if an SQL error occurs during a table dump.
+.sp
+One use for this option is to cause
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+to continue executing even when it encounters a view that has become invalid because the definition refers to a table that has been dropped. Without
+\fB\-\-force\fR,
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+exits with an error message. With
+\fB\-\-force\fR,
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+prints the error message, but it also writes an SQL comment containing the view definition to the dump output and continues executing.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-host=\fR\fB\fIhost_name\fR\fR,

+.sp
+Dump data from the MySQL server on the given host. The default host is

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-hex\-blob\fR
+.sp
+Dump binary columns using hexadecimal notation (for example,

+BLOB, and
+BIT.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-ignore\-table=\fR\fB\fIdb_name.tbl_name\fR\fR

+Do not dump the given table, which must be specified using both the database and table names. To ignore multiple tables, use this option multiple times. This option also can be used to ignore views.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-insert\-ignore\fR
+.sp
+Write

+IGNORE
+option.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu

+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-lock\-all\-tables\fR,

+.sp
+Lock all tables across all databases. This is achieved by acquiring a global read lock for the duration of the whole dump. This option automatically turns off
+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR
+and
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR,
+\fB\-l\fR
+.sp
+Lock all tables before dumping them. The tables are locked with
+READ LOCAL
+to allow concurrent inserts in the case of
+MyISAM
+tables. For transactional tables such as
+InnoDB
+and
+BDB,
+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR
+is a much better option, because it does not need to lock the tables at all.
+.sp
+Please note that when dumping multiple databases,
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR
+locks tables for each database separately. Therefore, this option does not guarantee that the tables in the dump file are logically consistent between databases. Tables in different databases may be dumped in completely different states.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+\fB\-\-log\-error=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR

+\fB\-\-master\-data[=\fR\fB\fIvalue\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.sp
+Use this option to dump a master replication server to produce a dump file that can be used to set up another server as a slave of the master. It causes the dump output to include a
+CHANGE MASTER TO
+statement that indicates the binary log coordinates (file name and position) of the dumped server. These are the master server coordinates from which the slave should start replicating.
+.sp
+If the option value is 2, the
+CHANGE MASTER TO
+statement is written as an SQL comment, and thus is informative only; it has no effect when the dump file is reloaded. If the option value is 1, the statement takes effect when the dump file is reloaded. If the option value is not specified, the default value is 1.
+.sp
+This option requires the
+RELOAD
+privilege and the binary log must be enabled.
+.sp
+The
+\fB\-\-master\-data\fR
+option automatically turns off
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR. It also turns on
+\fB\-\-lock\-all\-tables\fR, unless
+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR
+also is specified, in which case, a global read lock is acquired only for a short time at the beginning of the dump (see the description for
+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR). In all cases, any action on logs happens at the exact moment of the dump.
+.sp
+It is also possible to set up a slave by dumping an existing slave of the master. To do this, use the following procedure on the existing slave:
+.RS 3n
+.TP 3n
+1.
+Stop the slave's SQL thread and get its current status:
+.sp
+.RS 3n

+.fi
+.RE
+.TP 3n
+2.
+From the output of the SHOW SLAVE STATUS statement, get the binary log coordinates of the master server from which the new slave should start replicating. These coordinates are the values of the Relay_Master_Log_File and Exec_Master_Log_Pos values. Denote those values as file_name and file_pos.

+.sp
+This option was added in MySQL 5.1.2. Before that, stored routines are not dumped. Routine

+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR
+.sp
+This option issues a

+SQL statement before dumping data from the server. It is useful only with transactional tables such as
+InnoDB, because then it dumps the consistent state of the database at the time when
+BEGIN
+was issued without blocking any applications.
+.sp
+When using this option, you should keep in mind that only
+InnoDB
+tables are dumped in a consistent state. For example, any
+MyISAM
+or
+MEMORY
+tables dumped while using this option may still change state.
+.sp
+While a
+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR
+dump is in process, to ensure a valid dump file (correct table contents and binary log position), no other connection should use the following statements:
+ALTER TABLE,
+DROP TABLE,
+RENAME TABLE,
+TRUNCATE TABLE. A consistent read is not isolated from those statements, so use of them on a table to be dumped can cause the
+SELECT
+performed by
+\fBmysqldump\fR
+to retrieve the table contents to obtain incorrect contents or fail.
+.sp
+This option is not supported for MySQL Cluster tables; the results cannot be guaranteed to be consistent due to the fact that the
+NDBCLUSTER
+storage engine supports only the
+READ_COMMITTED
+transaction isolation level. You should always use
+NDB
+backup and restore instead.
+.sp
+The
+\fB\-\-single\-transaction\fR
+option and the
+\fB\-\-lock\-tables\fR
+option are mutually exclusive, because
+LOCK TABLES
+causes any pending transactions to be committed implicitly.
+.sp
+To dump large tables, you should combine this option with

+\fI\fItbl_name\fR\fR\fI.txt\fR
+file that contains its data. The option value is the directory in which to write the files.
+.sp
+By default, the
+\fI.txt\fR
+data files are formatted using tab characters between column values and a newline at the end of each line. The format can be specified explicitly using the
+\fB\-\-fields\-\fR\fB\fIxxx\fR\fR

+.sp
+Column values are dumped using the

+This backup acquires a global read lock on all tables (using
+FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK) at the beginning of the dump. As soon as this lock has been acquired, the binary log coordinates are read and the lock is released. If long updating statements are running when the
+FLUSH
+statement is issued, the MySQL server may get stalled until those statements finish. After that, the dump becomes lock\-free and does not disturb reads and writes on the tables.

+\fBmysqlmanager\fR
+is the MySQL Instance Manager (IM). This program monitors and manages MySQL Database Server instances. MySQL Instance Manager is available for Unix\-like operating systems, as well as Windows. It runs as a daemon that listens on a TCP/IP port. On Unix, it also listens on a Unix socket file.
+.PP
+MySQL Instance Manager can be used in place of the
+mysqld_safe
+script to start and stop one or more instances of MySQL Server. Because Instance Manager can manage multiple server instances, it can also be used in place of the
+\fBmysqld_multi\fR
+script. Instance Manager offers these capabilities:

+Server instances can be treated as guarded or unguarded:

+.TP 3n

+A nonguarded instance is not started when Instance Manager starts or monitored by it. If the instance crashes after being started, Instance Manager does not restart it. When Instance Manager exits, it does not stop the instance if it is running.
+.RE
+.IP "" 3n
+Instances are guarded by default. An instance can be designated as nonguarded by including the

+Instance Manager provides an interactive interface for configuring instances, so that the need to edit the configuration file manually is reduced or eliminated.

+Before MySQL 5.1.12, Instance Manager always tries to start at least one server instance: When it starts, it reads its configuration file if it exists to find server instance sections and prepare a list of instances. Instance sections have names of the form
+[mysqld]
+or
+[mysqld\fIN\fR], where
+\fIN\fR
+is an unsigned integer (for example,
+[mysqld1],

+.PP
+After preparing the list of instances, Instance Manager starts the guarded instances in the list. If there are no instances, Instance Manager creates an instance named
+mysqld
+and attempts to start it with default (compiled\-in) configuration values. This means that the Instance Manager cannot find the
+\fBmysqld\fR
+program if it is not installed in the default location. (Section\ 2.1.5, \(lqInstallation Layouts\(rq, describes default locations for components of MySQL distributions.) If you have installed the MySQL server in a non\-standard location, you should create the Instance Manager configuration file.

+The startup behavior just described is similar to that of
+\fBmysqld_safe\fR, which always attempts to start a server. However, it lacks the flexibility required for some operations because it is not possible to run Instance Manager in such a way that it refrains from starting any server instances. For example, you cannot invoke Instance Manager for the purpose of configuring an instance without also starting it (a task that a MySQL installer application might want to perform). Consequently, MySQL 5.1.12 introduces the following changes:

+MySQL Instance Manager has been deprecated and is removed in MySQL 6.0.

+After you connect to MySQL Instance Manager, you can issue commands. The following general principles apply to Instance Manager command execution:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Commands that take an instance name fail if the name is not a valid instance name.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Commands that take an instance name (other than
+CREATE INSTANCE) fail if the instance does not exist.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+As of MySQL 5.1.12, commands for an instance require that the instance be in an appropriate state. You cannot configure or start an instance that is not offline. You cannot start an instance that is online.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Instance Manager maintains information about instance configuration in an internal (in\-memory) cache. Initially, this information comes from the configuration file if it exists, but some commands change the configuration of an instance. Commands that modify the configuration file fail if the file does not exist or is not accessible to Instance Manager.
+.sp
+As of MySQL 5.1.12, configuration\-changing commands modify both the in\-memory cache and the server instance section recorded in the configuration file to maintain consistency between them. For this to occur, the instance must be offline and the configuration file must be accessible and not malformed. If the configuration file cannot be updated, the command fails and the cache remains unchanged.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+On Windows, the standard file is
+\fImy.ini\fR
+in the directory where Instance Manager is installed. On Unix, the standard configuration file is
+\fI/etc/my.cnf\fR. To specify a different configuration file, start Instance Manager with the
+\fB\-\-defaults\-file\fR
+option.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+If a
+[mysqld]
+instance section exists in the configuration file, it must not contain any Instance Manager\-specific options (see
+the section called \(lqMYSQL INSTANCE MANAGER CONFIGURATION FILES\(rq). Therefore, you must not add any of these options if you change the configuration for an instance named
+mysqld.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+The following list describes the commands that Instance Manager accepts, with examples.
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+CREATE INSTANCE \fIinstance_name\fR [\fIoption_name\fR[=\fIoption_value\fR], ...]

+This command configures a new instance by creating an

+section in the configuration file. The command fails if
+\fIinstance_name\fR
+is not a valid instance name or the instance already exists.
+.sp
+The created section instance is empty if no options are given. Otherwise, the options are added to the section. Options should be given in the same format used when you write options in option files. (See
+Section\ 4.2.3.2, \(lqUsing Option Files\(rq
+for a description of the allowable syntax.) If you specify multiple options, separate them by commas.
+.sp
+For example, to create an instance section named
+[mysqld98], you might write something like this were you to modify the configuration file directly:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+[mysqld98]
+basedir=/var/mysql98
+.fi
+.RE
+To achieve the same effect via
+CREATE INSTANCE, issue this command to Instance Manager:

+\fBmysqlslap [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+is a diagnostic program designed to emulate client load for a MySQL server and to report the timing of each stage. It works as if multiple clients are accessing the server.
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+is available as of MySQL 5.1.4.
+.PP
+Invoke
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqlslap [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Some options such as
+\fB\-\-create\fR
+or
+\fB\-\-query\fR
+enable you to specify a string containing an SQL statement or a file containing statements. If you specify a file, by default it must contain one statement per line. (That is, the implicit statement delimiter is the newline character.) Use the
+\fB\-\-delimiter\fR
+option to specify a different delimiter, which enables you to specify statements that span multiple lines or place multiple statements on a single line. You cannot include comments in a file;
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+does not understand them.
+.PP
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+runs in three stages:
+.TP 3n
+1.
+Create schema, table, and optionally any stored programs or data you want to using for the test. This stage uses a single client connection.
+.TP 3n
+2.
+Run the load test. This stage can use many client connections.
+.TP 3n
+3.
+Clean up (disconnect, drop table if specified). This stage uses a single client connection.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+Examples:
+.PP
+Supply your own create and query SQL statements, with 50 clients querying and 200 selects for each:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+mysqlslap \-\-delimiter=";" \\
+  \-\-create="CREATE TABLE a (b int);INSERT INTO a VALUES (23)" \\
+  \-\-query="SELECT * FROM a" \-\-concurrency=50 \-\-iterations=200
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Let
+\fBmysqlslap\fR
+build the query SQL statement with a table of two
+INT
+columns and three
+VARCHAR
+columns. Use five clients querying 20 times each. Do not create the table or insert the data (that is, use the previous test's schema and data):
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+mysqlslap \-\-concurrency=5 \-\-iterations=20 \\
+  \-\-number\-int\-cols=2 \-\-number\-char\-cols=3 \\
+  \-\-auto\-generate\-sql
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+Tell the program to load the create, insert, and query SQL statements from the specified files, where the
+\fIcreate.sql\fR
+file has multiple table creation statements delimited by
+\';'
+and multiple insert statements delimited by
+\';'. The
+\fB\-\-query\fR
+file will have multiple queries delimited by
+\';'. Run all the load statements, then run all the queries in the query file with five clients (five times each):
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBmysqltest\fR
+program runs a test case against a MySQL server and optionally compares the output with a result file. This program reads input written in a special test language. Typically, you invoke
+\fBmysqltest\fR
+via
+\fBmysql\-test\-run.pl\fR
+rather than invoking it directly.
+.PP
+\fBmysqltest_embedded\fR
+is similar but is built with support for the
+libmysqld
+embedded server.
+.PP
+Features of
+\fBmysqltest\fR:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Can send SQL statements to MySQL servers for execution
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Can execute external shell commands
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Can test whether the result from an SQL statement or shell command is as expected
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Can connect to one or more standalone
+\fBmysqld\fR
+servers and switch between connections
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+Can connect to an embedded server (libmysqld), if MySQL is compiled with support for
+libmysqld. (In this case, the executable is named
+\fBmysqltest_embedded\fR
+rather than
+\fBmysqltest\fR.)
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+By default,
+\fBmysqltest\fR
+reads the test case on the standard input. To run
+\fBmysqltest\fR
+this way, you normally invoke it like this:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+shell> \fBmysqltest [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] [\fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB] < \fR\fB\fItest_file\fR\fR
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
+You can also name the test case file with a
+\fB\-\-test\-file=\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR
+option.
+.PP
+The exit value from
+\fBmysqltest\fR
+is 0 for success, 1 for failure, and 62 if it skips the test case (for example, if after checking some preconditions it decides not to run the test).
+.PP
+\fBmysqltest\fR

+\fBndbd \fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBndbd\fR
+is the process that is used to handle all the data in tables using the NDB Cluster storage engine. This is the process that empowers a data node to accomplish distributed transaction handling, node recovery, checkpointing to disk, online backup, and related tasks.
+.PP
+In a MySQL Cluster, a set of
+\fBndbd\fR
+processes cooperate in handling data. These processes can execute on the same computer (host) or on different computers. The correspondences between data nodes and Cluster hosts is completely configurable.
+.PP
+\fBndbd\fR
+generates a set of log files which are placed in the directory specified by
+DataDir
+in the
+\fIconfig.ini\fR
+configuration file.
+.PP
+These log files are listed below.
+\fInode_id\fR
+is the node's unique identifier. Note that
+\fInode_id\fR
+represents the node's unique identifier. For example,
+\fIndb_2_error.log\fR
+is the error log generated by the data node whose node ID is
+2.
+.TP 3n

+\fIndb_\fR\fI\fInode_id\fR\fR\fI_error.log\fR

+\fBImportant\fR
+\fIThe last entry in the error log file is not necessarily the newest one\fR
+(nor is it likely to be). Entries in the error log are
+\fInot\fR
+listed in chronological order; rather, they correspond to the order of the trace files as determined in the
+\fIndb_\fR\fI\fInode_id\fR\fR\fI_trace.log.next\fR
+file (see below). Error log entries are thus overwritten in a cyclical and not sequential fashion.

+.sp
+It is possible to configure the number of these trace files that will be created before old files are overwritten.
+\fItrace_id\fR
+is a number which is incremented for each successive trace file.
+.TP 3n

+\(bu
+\fIndb_\fR\fI\fInode_id\fR\fR\fI.pid\fR

+\fBndbd\fR
+process.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+It is recommended not to use a directory mounted through NFS because in some environments this can cause problems whereby the lock on the
+\fI.pid\fR
+file remains in effect even after the process has terminated.
+.PP
+To start
+\fBndbd\fR, it may also be necessary to specify the host name of the management server and the port on which it is listening. Optionally, one may also specify the node ID that the process is to use.

+See
+Section\ 17.3.4.3, \(lqThe MySQL Cluster Connectstring\(rq, for additional information about this issue.
+Section\ 17.6.2, \(lqCommand Options for MySQL Cluster Processes\(rq, describes other options for
+\fBndbd\fR.
+.PP
+When
+\fBndbd\fR
+starts, it actually initiates two processes. The first of these is called the
+\(lqangel process\(rq; its only job is to discover when the execution process has been completed, and then to restart the
+\fBndbd\fR
+process if it is configured to do so. Thus, if you attempt to kill
+\fBndbd\fR
+via the Unix
+\fBkill\fR
+command, it is necessary to kill both processes, beginning with the angel process. The preferred method of terminating an
+\fBndbd\fR
+process is to use the management client and stop the process from there.
+.PP
+The execution process uses one thread for reading, writing, and scanning data, as well as all other activities. This thread is implemented asynchronously so that it can easily handle thousands of concurrent actions. In addition, a watch\-dog thread supervises the execution thread to make sure that it does not hang in an endless loop. A pool of threads handles file I/O, with each thread able to handle one open file. Threads can also be used for transporter connections by the transporters in the
+\fBndbd\fR
+process. In a multi\-processor system performing a large number of operations (including updates), the
+\fBndbd\fR
+process can consume up to 2 CPUs if permitted to do so.
+.PP
+For a machine with many CPUs it is possible to use several
+\fBndbd\fR
+processes which belong to different node groups; however, such a configuration is still considered experimental and is not supported for MySQL 5.1 in a production setting. See
+Section\ 17.13, \(lqKnown Limitations of MySQL Cluster\(rq.

+ndbmtd \- the MySQL Cluster storage engine node process (multi\-threaded version)
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP 15
+\fBndbmtd \fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+is a multi\-threaded version of
+\fBndbd\fR, the process that is used to handle all the data in tables using the
+NDBCLUSTER
+storage engine.
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+is intended for use on host computers having multiple CPU cores. Except where otherwise noted,
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+functions in the same way as
+\fBndbd\fR; therefore, in this section, we concentrate on the ways in which
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+differs from
+\fBndbd\fR, and you should consult
+\fBndbd\fR(8), for additional information about running MySQL Cluster data nodes that apply to both the single\-threaded and multi\-threaded versions of the data node process.
+.PP
+Command\-line options and configuration parameters used with
+\fBndbd\fR
+also apply to
+\fBndbmtd\fR. For more information about these options and parameters, see
+Section\ 17.6.2.1, \(lqCommand Options for \fBndbd\fR and \fBndbmtd\fR\(rq, and
+Section\ 17.3.4.6, \(lqDefining MySQL Cluster Data Nodes\(rq, respectively.
+.PP
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+is also file system\-compatible with
+\fBndbd\fR. In other words, a data node running
+\fBndbd\fR
+can be stopped, the binary replaced with
+\fBndbmtd\fR, and then restarted without any loss of data. (However, when doing this, you must make sure that
+MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
+is set to an apppriate value before restarting the node if you wish for
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+to run in multi\-threaded fashion.) Similarly, an
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+binary can be replaced with
+\fBndbd\fR
+simply by stopping the node and then starting
+\fBndbd\fR
+in place of the multi\-threaded binary. It is not necessary when switching between the two to start the data node binary using
+\fB\-\-initial\fR.
+.PP
+Using
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+differs from using
+\fBndbd\fR
+in two key respects:
+.TP 3n
+1.
+You must set an appropriate value for the
+MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
+configuration parameter in the
+\fIconfig.ini\fR
+file. If you do not do so,
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+runs in single\-threaded mode \(em that is, it behaves like
+\fBndbd\fR.
+.TP 3n
+2.
+Trace files are generated by critical errors in
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+processes in a somewhat different fashion from how these are generated by
+\fBndbd\fR
+failures.
+.sp
+.RE
+.PP
+These differences are discussed in more detail in the next few paragraphs.
+.PP
+\fBNumber of execution threads\fR. The
+MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
+configuration parameter is used to determine the number of local query handler (LQH) threads spawned by
+\fBndbmtd\fR. Although this parameter is set in
+[ndbd]
+or
+[ndbd default]
+sections of the
+\fIconfig.ini\fR
+file, it is exclusive to
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+and does not apply to
+\fBndbd\fR.
+.PP
+This parameter takes an integer value from 2 to 8 inclusive. Generally, you should set this to the number of CPU cores on the data node host, as shown in the following table:
+.TS
+allbox tab(:);
+lB lB.
+T{

+.sp
+.PP
+(It is possible to set this parameter to other values within the permitted range, but these are automatically rounded as shown in the
+\fBValue Used\fR
+column of the next table in this section.)
+.PP
+The multi\-threaded data node process always spawns at least 4 threads:
+.TP 3n
+\(bu
+1 local query handler (LQH) thread
+.TP 3n

+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+In MySQL Cluster NDB 6.4.0, it is not possible to set
+MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
+to 2. You can safely use the value 3 instead (it is treated as 2 internally). This issue is resolved in MySQL Cluster NDB 6.4.1.
+.PP
+In MySQL Cluster NDB 6.4.0 through 6.4.3, the default value for this parameter was undefined, although the default behavior for
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+was to use 1 LQH thread, as though
+MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
+had been set to 2. Beginning with MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0.4, this parameter has an explcit default value of 2, thus guaranteeing this default behavior.
+.PP
+In MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0, it is not possible to cause
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+to use more than 1 TC thread, although we plan to introduce this capability in a future MySQL Cluster release series.
+.PP
+Like
+\fBndbd\fR,
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+generates a set of log files which are placed in the directory specified by
+DataDir
+in the
+\fIconfig.ini\fR
+configuration file. Except for trace files, these are generated in the same way and have the same names as those generated by
+\fBndbd\fR.
+.PP
+In the event of a critical error,
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+generates trace files describing what happened just prior to the error' occurrence. These files, which can be found in the data node's
+DataDir, are useful for analysis of problems by the MySQL Cluster Development and Support teams. One trace file is generated for each
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+thread. The names of these files follow the pattern
+\fIndb_\fR\fI\fInode_id\fR\fR\fI_trace.log.\fR\fI\fItrace_id\fR\fR\fI_t\fR\fI\fIthread_id\fR\fR, where
+\fInode_id\fR
+is the data node's unique node ID in the cluster,
+\fItrace_id\fR
+is a trace sequence number, and
+\fIthread_id\fR
+is the thread ID. For example, in the event of the failure of an
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+process running as a MySQL Cluster data node having the node ID 3 and with
+MaxNoOfExecutionThreads
+equal to 4, four trace files are generated in the data node's data directory; if the is the first time this node has failed, then these files are named
+\fIndb_3_trace.log.1_t1\fR,
+\fIndb_3_trace.log.1_t2\fR,
+\fIndb_3_trace.log.1_t3\fR, and
+\fIndb_3_trace.log.1_t4\fR. Internally, these trace files follow the same format as
+\fBndbd\fR
+trace files.
+.PP
+The
+\fBndbd\fR
+exit codes and messages that are generated when a data node process shuts down prematurely are also used by
+\fBndbmtd\fR. See
+[1]\&\fIndbd Error Messages\fR, for a listing of these.
+.sp
+.it 1 an-trap
+.nr an-no-space-flag 1
+.nr an-break-flag 1
+.br
+\fBNote\fR
+.PP
+It is possible to use
+\fBndbd\fR
+and
+\fBndbmtd\fR
+concurrently on different data nodes in the same MySQL Cluster. However, such configurations have not been tested extensively; thus, we cannot not recommend doing so in a production setting at this time.

+.PP
+For most system errors, MySQL displays, in addition to an internal text message, the system error code in one of the following styles:
+.sp
+.RS 3n
+.nf
+message ... (errno: #)
