How to create a temporary directory in MySQL? for this question, this article introduces in detail the corresponding analysis and solutions, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and easy way.

The binlog single file set by the MySQL server is the largest 1GB, and accidentally found that there will be a binlog file with a size of more than ten GB. From the time it is generated, it seems that a certain cron job has used a very large file.

When you use mysqlbinlog to convert binary log to a text file, you find that the root partition is quickly full, and you use lsof to find that mysqlbinlog is writing a temporary file to / tmp:

# lsof-p 17423

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

Mysqlbinl 17423 root 1w REG 0,19 791765366 3186036 / mfs/user/xupeng/tmp/bigbinlogs/bigbinlog.sql

Mysqlbinl 17423 root 2u CHR 136,7 0t0 10 / dev/pts/7

Mysqlbinl 17423 root 3r REG 0,19 13863171331 3172073 / mfs/user/xupeng/tmp/bigbinlogs/log.000323

Mysqlbinl 17423 root 4U REG 8pm 1 612122624 135332782 / tmp/tmp.rWTNda (deleted)

Mysqlbinl 17423 root 5u REG 8 2490368 135332784 / tmp/tmp.spKjTA (deleted)

Look at mysqlbinlog's Man page and find that there is no parameter to specify a temporary directory. After looking through the code of mysqlbinlog (client/mysqlbinlog.cc), you can see the following code:

MY_TMPDIR tmpdir

Tmpdir.list= 0

If (! dirname_for_local_load)

{

If (init_tmpdir (& tmpdir, 0))

Exit (1)

Dirname_for_local_load= my_strdup (my_tmpdir (& tmpdir), MY_WME)

}

Init_tmpdir is defined in mysys/mf_tempdir.c:

My_bool init_tmpdir (MY_TMPDIR * tmpdir, const char * pathlist)

{

Char * end, * copy

Char buff[FN _ REFLEN]

DBUG_ENTER ("init_tmpdir")

DBUG_PRINT ("enter", ("pathlist:% s", pathlist? Pathlist: "NULL"))

Pthread_mutex_init (& tmpdir- > mutex, MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST)

If (& tmpdir- > full_list, sizeof (char*), 1,5))

Goto err

If (! pathlist | |! pathlist [0])

{

/ * Get default temporary directory * /

Pathlist=getenv ("TMPDIR"); / * Use this if possible * /

# if defined (_ _ WIN__) | | defined (_ _ NETWARE__)

If (! pathlist)

Pathlist=getenv ("TEMP")

If (! pathlist)

Pathlist=getenv ("TMP")

# endif

If (! pathlist | |! pathlist [0])

Pathlist= (char*) P_tmpdir

}

So it's fine to set the environment variable TMPDIR before running mysqlbinlog.

Both MySQL server and client tools use this temporary directory search strategy, so it's no wonder that using mysqlbinlog tmp directory as the keyword did not find the desired results, while using mysql tmp directory as the keyword, the first search result is that it is important to choose the right keyword.
