MyISAM Log

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

The MyISAM log records all changes to MyISAM tables. It is not enabled by default. To enable it, start the server with the --log-isam option, for example:

--log-isam=myisam.log

The isam instead of myisam above is not a typo - it's a legacy from when the predecessor to the MyISAM format, called ISAM. The option can be used without specifying a filename, in which case the default, myisam.log is used.

To process the contents of the log file, use the myisamlog utility.
