MARIADB-FIND-ROWS(1)

NAME
mariadb-find-rows - extract SQL statements from files (mariadb-find-rows is now a symlink to mariadb-find-rows)

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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. 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.

Invoke mariadb-find-rows like this:

    shell> 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.

Examples:

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

mariadb-find-rows supports the following options:

    • --help, --Information

    Display a help message and exit.

    • --regexp=pattern

    Display queries that match the pattern.

    • --rows=N

    Quit after displaying N queries.

    • --skip-use-db

    Do not include USE db_name statements in the output.

    • --start_row=N

    Start output from this row.
