Enable MySQL Query Log Example
Let’s look at some examples, where we will learn how to enable MySQL query log.
Enabling Query Log and Executing SQL Queries Example
-- Enable Query Log
SET global general_log = 1;
-- Execute SQL Queries
SELECT * FROM your_table;
UPDATE your_table SET column1 = value1 WHERE condition;
-- ... add more queries ...
-- Disable Query Log (optional)
SET global general_log = 0;
Output Explanation:
Enabling the query log will capture the executed SQL queries in the log file. After enabling, executing various SQL queries like SELECT and UPDATE will be logged. Disabling the query log stops logging further queries.
Enabling Query Log with a Specific Log File Example
-- Enable Query Log with Specific File
SET global general_log = 1;
SET global general_log_file = '/path/to/query_log.log';
-- Execute SQL Queries
SELECT * FROM your_table;
INSERT INTO your_table (column1, column2) VALUES (value1, value2);
-- ... add more queries ...
-- Disable Query Log (optional)
SET global general_log = 0;
Output Explanation:
In this example, the query log is not only enabled but also configured to write logs to a specific file. Executing SQL queries will be logged in the specified file. Disabling the query log stops further logging.
