How can the log content be viewed in MySQL?

There are several ways to view the contents of MySQL logs.

1. To view the MySQL log content using the command line tool, you can execute the following command in the command line.

$ mysql -u <username> -p -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error';"

The command above will show the path of the MySQL error log. You can then use any text editor to open the file and view the log content.

1. View with MySQL Workbench: MySQL Workbench is a graphical tool that allows you to easily view the contents of MySQL logs. Simply select the server, navigate to the log options within the server manager, choose the log file you want to view, and you can then see the log contents.
2. You can also use other log file viewers, such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text, to view the content of MySQL logs if you are unable to use command line tools or MySQL Workbench.

No matter which method you choose, you can gain knowledge of the database’s operation records and error messages by examining the contents of MySQL logs.
