MARIADB-FIND-ROWS(1)        MariaDB Database System       MARIADB-FIND-ROWS(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_find_rows [options] [file_name ...]

DESCRIPTION
       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 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 mysql_find_rows like this:

           shell> 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:

       o   --help, --Information

           Display a help message and exit.

       o   --regexp=pattern

           Display queries that match the pattern.

       o   --rows=N

           Quit after displaying N queries.

       o   --skip-use-db

           Do not include USE db_name statements in the output.

       o   --start_row=N

           Start output from this row.
