mariadb-find-rows

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

mariadb-find-rows reads files containing SQL statements and extracts statements that match a given regular expression or that contain USE db_name or SET statements.

Prior to MariaDB 10.5, the client was called mysql_find_rows. It can still be accessed under this name, via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.

The utility was written for use with update log files (as used prior to MySQL 5.0) and as such expects statements to be terminated with semicolon (;) characters. It may be useful with other files that contain SQL statements as long as statements are terminated with semicolons.

Usage

mariadb-find-rows [options] [file_name ...]

Each file_name argument should be the name of file containing SQL statements. If no file names are given, mariadb-find-rows reads the standard input.

Options

mariadb-find-rows supports the following options:

OptionDescription
--help, --InformationDisplay help and exit.
--regexp=patternDisplay queries that match the pattern.
--rows=NQuit after displaying N queries.
--skip-use-dbDo not include USE db_name statements in the output.
--start_row=NStart output from this row (first row is 1).

Examples

mariadb-find-rows --regexp=problem_table --rows=20 < update.log
mariadb-find-rows --regexp=problem_table  update-log.1 update-log.2
