It causes mysqlbinlog to not stop after the end of the requested binlog, and instead read
until the end of the last binlog of mysqld (beware of endless loops if you pipe this
into the same mysqld).
I.e. it enables back (at customer's request) what we considered (and I still do)
as BUG#3204, but now with an option instead of being the default behaviour.
The default behaviour is still to stop after the end of the requested binlog,
whether --read-from-remote-server or not.
I am fixing it here in 4.1, not in 4.0, as it goes with another change
which I did in 4.1 (fix for BUG#3204
""mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server this_binlog.001" prints all binlogs").
we now detect that the server is sending us a log which we did not request
by testing the info in the fake Rotate event.
I also changed code to not print the fake Rotate which describes the
log we asked for (it's always the first received event but old masters
may not send it).
(--local-load alone means "I want files to be prepared for LOAD
DATA INFILE, in the default temp directory", and mysqlbinlog already
does this without --local-load).
This ensures that my_file_info takes this the max number of files into account and one can now use --open-files-limit on windows to increase number of used files up to 2048
Added more DBUG statements
Ensure that we are comparing end space with BINARY strings
Use 'any_db' instead of '' to mean any database. (For HANDLER command)
Only strip ' ' when comparing CHAR, not other space-like characters (like \t)
** I already fixed it in 3.23; I fix it in 4.0 separately because the
code is a bit different (so the changeset 1.1422 of 3.23 should not be
merged here) **
Make mysqlbinlog prompt for the password if
mysqlbinlog -p
instead of printing the usage().
This makes mysqlbinlog behave like other clients.
This new code was almost copied from mysqldump.
Note that before, one could use
mysqlbinlog -p pass
and now one must use
mysqlbinlog -ppass
(putting a space will ask for the password).
Add quoting for use `database` for mysqlbinlog
Removed test ins0000001
Add support for --replace for exec in mysqltest
Don't refer to install dir in mysqlbinlog.result
mysqlbinlog segfaults if --position is just before Exec_load event
mysqlbinlog prints uncommented warnings if --database and compiled with debug
mysqlbinlog --database does not filter LOAD DATA INFILE
