需求描述：
今天在研究mysql数据库的备份和恢复，用到了flush logs这个SQL语句。
所以，在此进行测试，并且记录该SQL语句的作用。
概念描述：
在mysql数据库，如果数据库启动的时候，启用了log-bin选项，那么，
所有对于数据库的修改都会记录在binary log中，binary log可以用于数据库的恢复（基于时间点的恢复）
操作过程：
1.查看my.cnf中配置的log-bin参数
[mysql@redhat6 ~]$ grep "log-bin" /etc/my.cnf log-bin=/mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin #定义binary log所在的目录及bin log以什么名字开始。 #log-bin=mysql-bin
2.在mysql数据库中，查看log_bin系统变量的设置
mysql> show variables like 'log_bin'; +---------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------+ | log_bin | ON | +---------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
备注：以上的设置，表示数据库已经开启了binary log.
3.查看binary log在操作系统上生成的文件
[mysql@redhat6 ~]$ cd /mysql/data/mysql-bin/ [mysql@redhat6 mysql-bin]$ ls -l total 969552 -rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 27693 Jan 18 17:15 mysql-bin.000001 -rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 1133097 Jan 18 17:15

备注：binary log是以mysql-bin开头的，然后点后面是binary log的序号。
4.mysql-bin.index文件是所有bin log文件的列表（列出所有binary log所在路径和名字，./表示的是data目录）
[mysql@redhat6 mysql-bin]$ cat mysql-bin.index ./mysql-bin.000001 ./mysql-bin.000002 ./mysql-bin.000003 ./mysql-bin.000004 ./mysql-bin.000005 ./mysql-bin.000006 ./mysql-bin.000007 ./mysql-bin.000008 ./mysql-bin.000009 ./mysql-bin.000010 ./mysql-bin.000011 ./mysql-bin.000012 ./mysql-bin.000013 ./mysql-bin.000014 ./mysql-bin.000015 ./mysql-bin.000016 ./mysql-bin.000017 ./mysql-bin.000018 ./mysql-bin.000019 ./mysql-bin.000020 ./mysql-bin.000021 ./mysql-bin.000022 ./mysql-bin.000023 ./mysql-bin.000024 ./mysql-bin.000025 ./mysql-bin.000026 ./mysql-bin.000027 ./mysql-bin.000028 ./mysql-bin.000029 ./mysql-bin.000030 ./mysql-bin.000031 ./mysql-bin.000032 ./mysql-bin.000033 ./mysql-bin.000034 ./mysql-bin.000035 ./mysql-bin.000036 ./mysql-bin.000037 ./mysql-bin.000038 ./mysql-bin.000039 ./mysql-bin.000040 ./mysql-bin.000041 ./mysql-bin.000042 ./mysql-bin.000043 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000044 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000045 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000046 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000047 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000048 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000049 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000050 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000051 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000052 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000053 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000054 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000055 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000056 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000057 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000058 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000059 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000060 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000061 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000062 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000063 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000064 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000065 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000066 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000067 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000068 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000069 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000070 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000071 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000072 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000073 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000074 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000075 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000076 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000077 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000078 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000079 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000080 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000081 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000082 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000083 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000084 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000085 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000086 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000087 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000088 /mysql/data/mysql-bin/mysql-bin.000089
5.查看当前数据库binary log的位置
mysql> show master status; +------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ | File | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB | +------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ | mysql-bin.000089 | 107 | | | +------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
备注：当前使用的bin log是“mysql-bin.000089”，位置是107.
6.执行flush logs命令
mysql> flush logs; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec) mysql> show master status; +------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ | File | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB | +------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ | mysql-bin.000090 | 107 | | | +------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
备注：通过执行flush logs命令之后，再次查询binary log信息，发现已经使用了一个新的bin log文件了。
7.查看操作系统上是否也多了一个binary log文件
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 22032005 Mar 29 15:26 mysql-bin.000079 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 107 Mar 30 14:06 mysql-bin.000080 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 107 Apr 2 09:21 mysql-bin.000081 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 15:58 mysql-bin.000082 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 16:00 mysql-bin.000083 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 16:46 mysql-bin.000084 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 16:47 mysql-bin.000085 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 16:52 mysql-bin.000086 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 238 Apr 3 17:12 mysql-bin.000087 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 17:14 mysql-bin.000088 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 150 Apr 3 17:35 mysql-bin.000089 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 107 Apr 3 17:35 mysql-bin.000090 #操作系统上生成了新的binary log文件。 -rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql 2650 Apr 3 17:35 mysql-bin.index
小结：
flush logs命令的作用就是关闭当前使用的binary log，然后打开一个新的binary log文件，文件的序号加1.
