How can I view the contents of the binlog log in MySQL?

In MySQL, you can use the following command to view the contents of the binlog log:

1. Firstly, log in to the command line interface of the MySQL server or use a MySQL client tool (such as MySQL Workbench) to connect to the MySQL server.
2. Execute the following command to check the current binlog log file name:

SHOW MASTER STATUS;

This command will display the name of the binlog file that is currently being written to, along with the file’s position.

1. Use the following command to view the content of the binlog log file:

mysqlbinlog <binlog文件名称>

Replace with the name of the binlog log file you want to view. For example, if the current binlog file name is mysql-bin.000001, you can use the following command to view its content:

mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000001

After executing this command, the contents of the binlog log files will be displayed, including detailed information for each operation and SQL statements.

It is important to note that the mysqlbinlog command is an official tool provided by MySQL, and usually comes installed with the MySQL server. If you cannot find this command, you can try locating and executing it within the installation directory of MySQL.
