xxx-bin.0000xxx files

My version of mysql creates all sorts of xxx-bin.xxx files in the /var/lib/mysql directory. I regularly remove the oldest files for space purposes. What exactly are these files and what is the proper way to manage them? Thanks. Philippe -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives:

Hello, my /var/lib/mysql directory contains many -bin.xxx files, some of which date back to October 2004. What exactly are these files? Can I safely remove the older ones? Many thanks. Philippe -rw-rw1 mysqlmysql1073741948 Oct 16 15:00 /var/lib/mysql/mydb-bin.029 -rw-rw
