It's simply the log file for MySQL (SQL dB server) which is running on your
system.

My MD "Helios" 2-2-13-7mdk, has sent me an E-mail saying "errors
occurred while rotating logs"...? "/var/mysql.log failed" ..."no such
file or directory"
what is a MYSQL log ? (it sounds painful).
I ran man mysql and it refers to some obscure data base?
I ran info mysql and it gives the identical cryptic explanation.
I ran tree /var | less It showed 248 directories and 269 files,
but the linux is still hungry for mysql?
They will not come out and say what exactly this log does, but
I am not using any networking , internet, or off site modem usage in
Linux. If this is pertinent to one of these unused systems I will
ignore it...
If it is the master list for some important brain activity I
want to correct it..
Will some one tell me the importance of the MYSQL log?
thank you
