SYNOPSIS

mysql_find_rows [options] [file_name ...]

DESCRIPTION

    Note

    This utility is deprecated in MySQL 5.6.17 and removed in MySQL 5.7

mysql_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 expects statements to be terminated with semicolon (;) characters.

Invoke mysql_find_rows like this:

    mysql_find_rows [options] [file_name ...]

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

Examples:

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

mysql_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.
