How can you retrieve the start time and end time of bin…
To obtain the start and end time of MySQL binlog, you can follow these steps:
- Access the command line interface on the MySQL server or connect to the MySQL server using a graphical tool such as phpMyAdmin.
- Run the following command to check the file name and position of the binlog:
- Display the current status of the master database.
- This will display the name (File) and position (Position) of the currently used binlog file.
- Read the contents of a binlog file using the file name and location.
- mysqlbinlog –start-position=
–stop-position= - This command will output the content within a specified range of positions in the binlog file. You can adjust the values of –start-position and –stop-position as needed to obtain different ranges of binlog content.
- Look for the start and end times within the binlog content. Each event in the binlog file has a timestamp that can be used to determine the start and end times.
Please note that the timestamp of the binlog is represented in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). If you want to convert it to local time, consider the time zone difference.
