So if one is doing a full mysqldump every night, all bin-logs can be deleted after this? If bin-logging is disabled, will master/slave syncing still occur? David Issuing a 'reset master' will purge all of the logs as well. I wouldn't just rm them, as they are being tracked in the index

Running mysql 4, just poked into data and see I have gigs and gigs of hostname-bin.xxx log files. How does one maintain these, can someone point me to relevant data on what to do about drive space being lost to these? thanks -- - Scott

Yes -- sorry for being so general. You can use the binlogs for a) replication b) replaying changes since your last backup so you get point-in-time recovery. If you have no replication slaves, just delete everything older than your latest backup. You can just use 'rm'. If you use PURGE

Issuing a 'reset master' will purge all of the logs as well. I wouldn't just rm them, as they are being tracked in the index file. If you aren't running a slave, then these files are only good for data recovery purposes. Say a DBA goes crazy and deletes all of the databases mid-day (too much

So, I take it since I do not have a slave at all, I could safely just disable this feature altogether? If I do not need point in time recovery, and the once every 12 hour dump I do across all databases is ok with me, I suppose I can just disable said feature? Heck, some of these boogers are a
