Mysql的binlog日志作用是用来记录mysql内部增删改查等对mysql数据库有更新的内容的记录（对数据库的改动），对数据库的查询select或show等不会被binlog日志记录;主要用于数据库的主从复制以及增量恢复。本文关于binlog的讲解基于ubuntu16.04安装的MySQL 5.7.25 。
配置binlog
在mysql 5.7之后，已经没有my.cnf的模板。具体关于binlog的配置请自行搜索。
配置binlog的主要参数如下：
[mysqld]
server-id = 1
log_bin = mysql-bin检查binlog是否已经开启
登录mysql后，使用如下命令：
mysql> show variables like '%log_bin%';结果如下:
+---------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------------------------+--------------------------------+
| log_bin | ON |
| log_bin_basename | /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin |
| log_bin_index | /var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin.index |
| log_bin_trust_function_creators | OFF |
| log_bin_use_v1_row_events | OFF |
| sql_log_bin | ON |
+---------------------------------+--------------------------------+
6 rows in set (0.01 sec)查看binlog名称
查看binlog名称的命令如下：
mysql> show binary logs;结果如下：
+------------------+-----------+
| Log_name | File_size |
+------------------+-----------+
| mysql-bin.000001 | 177 |
| mysql-bin.000002 | 462 |
+------------------+-----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)查看binlog具体内容
查看binlog具体内容的命令如下：
mysql> show binlog events in 'mysql-bin.000001';结果如下：
+------------------+-----+----------------+-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------+
| Log\_name | Pos | Event\_type | Server\_id | End\_log\_pos | Info |
+------------------+-----+----------------+-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------+
| mysql-bin.000001 | 4 | Format\_desc | 1 | 123 | Server ver: 5.7.25-log, Binlog ver: 4 |
