mysql_find_rows1
Extract sql statements from files (mariadb-find-rows is now a symlink to mariadb-find-rows)
Part of mariadb-find-rows(1).
Usage
mariadb-find-rows [options]
[file_name ...]
Overview
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.
