Like most relational databases, log files are an important part of the MySQL database. MySQL has several different log files, usually including error log files, binary logs, general logs, slow query logs, etc. These logs can help us locate mysqld internal events, database performance failures, record data change history, user recovery of the database, etc. This article mainly describes the general query log.

1. Composition of MySQL log file system
a. Error log: record startup and operation Or problems when stopping mysqld.
b. General log: records the established client connection and executed statements.
c. Update log: records statements that change data. This log is deprecated in MySQL 5.1.
d. Binary log: records all statements that change data. Also used for copying.
e. Slow query log: records all queries whose execution time exceeds long_query_time seconds or queries that do not use indexes.
f. Innodb log: innodb redo log

By default, all logs are created in the mysqld data directory.
You can force mysqld to close and reopen the log file (or switch to a new log in some cases) by flushing the log.
When you execute a FLUSH LOGS statement or execute mysqladmin flush-logs or mysqladmin refresh, the log is aged.
For the case where MySQL replication exists, the slave replication server will maintain more log files, called replacement logs.

2. General query log
The general query log can be stored in a text file or table , all connections and statements are recorded to this log file or table, and this log is not enabled by default.
Start it with the --log[=file_name] or -l [file_name] option. If no file_name value is given, the default name is host_name.log.
Mysqld records statements to the query log in the order it is received. This may differ from the order of execution.
Unlike update logs and binary logs, they log after the query is executed but before any lock is released.
The query log contains all statements, while the binary log does not contain statements that only query data.
Server restart and log refresh will not generate new general query log files.

3. System variables for general query logs
log_output=[none|file|table| file, table] #General query log output format
general_log=[on|off]                                                                                                                                                        

#4. Backup of general query log

In Linux or Unix, you can rename the file through the following command and Create a new file: shell> mv hostname.log hostname-old.log shell> mysqladmin flush-logs
shell> cp hostname-old.log to-backup-directory
shell> rm hostname-old.log
In Windows, the log file cannot be renamed while the server is opening the log file. You must first stop the server and then rename the log files. Then restart the server to create the new log file.



5. Demonstrate the use of general query log

a、启用通用查询日志
--演示环境
root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like '%version%';
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| Variable_name           | Value                        |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+
| innodb_version          | 5.5.39                       |
| protocol_version        | 10                           |
| slave_type_conversions  |                              |
| version                 | 5.5.39-log                   |
| version_comment         | MySQL Community Server (GPL) |
| version_compile_machine | x86_64                       |
| version_compile_os      | Linux                        |
+-------------------------+------------------------------+

--查看系统变量
root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like '%general%';
+------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name    | Value                      |
+------------------+----------------------------+
| general_log      | OFF                        |
| general_log_file | /var/lib/mysql/suse11b.log |
+------------------+----------------------------+

--查看当前的通用日志,显示无日志文件
root@localhost[(none)]> system ls /var/lib/mysql/suse11b.log 
ls: cannot access /var/lib/mysql/suse11b.log: No such file or directory
--设置变量general_log以开启通用查询日志
root@localhost[(none)]> set @@global.general_log=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

--再次查看通用日志文件已存在
root@localhost[(none)]> system ls /var/lib/mysql/suse11b.log 
/var/lib/mysql/suse11b.log
root@localhost[(none)]> select * from tempdb.tb1;  --执行查询
+------+------+
| id   | val  |
+------+------+
|    1 | jack |
+------+------+

--查看通用日志文件内容
root@localhost[(none)]> system more /var/lib/mysql/suse11b.log
/usr/sbin/mysqld, Version: 5.5.39-log (MySQL Community Server (GPL)). started with:
Tcp port: 3306  Unix socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Time                 Id Command    Argument
141003 16:18:12     4 Query     show variables like '%general%'
141003 16:18:55     4 Query     select * from tempdb.tb1


b、更改通用查询日志位置
root@localhost[(none)]> exit
Bye
suse11b:~ # service mysql stop
Shutting down MySQL...                                          done
suse11b:~ # mysqld --general_log_file=/tmp/suse11b.log --user=mysql &
[1] 47009
suse11b:~ # ps -ef|grep mysql|grep -v grep
mysql    47009 44514  1 16:22 pts/0    00:00:00 mysqld --general_log_file=/tmp/suse11b.log --user=mysql
root     47053 44514  0 16:22 pts/0    00:00:00 grep mysql
suse11b:~ # mysql
root@localhost[(none)]> system ls /tmp/suse11b.log
ls: cannot access /tmp/suse11b.log: No such file or directory
root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like '%gener%';
+------------------+------------------+
| Variable_name    | Value            |
+------------------+------------------+
| general_log      | OFF              |
| general_log_file | /tmp/suse11b.log |
+------------------+------------------+

root@localhost[(none)]> set global general_log=on;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

--此时从系统变量看出,通用日志已经到/tmp目录下
root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like '%gener%';
+------------------+------------------+
| Variable_name    | Value            |
+------------------+------------------+
| general_log      | ON               |
| general_log_file | /tmp/suse11b.log |
+------------------+------------------+

--发布查询
root@localhost[(none)]> select count(*) from tempdb.tb1;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|        1 |
+----------+

--查看通用日志文件内容
root@localhost[(none)]> system more /tmp/suse11b.log
mysqld, Version: 5.5.39-log (MySQL Community Server (GPL)). started with:
Tcp port: 3306  Unix socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Time                 Id Command    Argument
141003 16:30:03     1 Query     show variables like '%gener%'
141003 16:30:09     1 Query     select count(*) from tempdb.tb1


c、通用查询日志输出方式
--可以输出为文件,表以及不输出,即TABLE,FILE,NONE
--系统变量log_output
root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like 'log_output';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| log_output    | FILE  |
+---------------+-------+

--下面修改为输出为表方式
root@localhost[(none)]> set global log_output='TABLE';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like 'log_output';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| log_output    | TABLE |
+---------------+-------+

--发布查询
root@localhost[(none)]> select * from tempdb.tb1;
+------+------+
| id   | val  |
+------+------+
|    1 | jack |
+------+------+

+-----------+--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+


d、关闭通用查询日志
--可以通过设置系统变量general_log来关闭通用查询日志,此时日志输出设置为FILE,TABLE
root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like 'log_output';
+---------------+------------+
| Variable_name | Value      |
+---------------+------------+
| log_output    | FILE,TABLE |
+---------------+------------+

root@localhost[(none)]> set global general_log=off;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> show variables like '%gener%';
+------------------+------------------+
| Variable_name    | Value            |
+------------------+------------------+
| general_log      | OFF              |
| general_log_file | /tmp/suse11b.log |
+------------------+------------------+

root@localhost[(none)]> delete from tempdb.tb1 where id=2;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> commit;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> system tail -n 1 /tmp/suse11b.log
141003 17:45:13     2 Query     set global general_log=off

root@localhost[(none)]> select thread_id,command_type,argument from mysql.general_log
    -> where argument like '%delete%';
Empty set (0.00 sec)

--从上面的演示可知,尽管我们设置了log_output为FILE,TABLE,但general_log为OFF,通用日志无任何记录产生

root@localhost[(none)]> set global log_output=none;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> set global general_log=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> truncate table tempdb.tb1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

root@localhost[(none)]> system tail -n 1 /tmp/suse11b.log
Time                 Id Command    Argument

--通过上面的演示,在log_output=none,general_log=on的清下下无任何通用日志输出。
