Hello All,
I am having problem in finding out the exact position in master bin log file in replication setup for point-in-time recovery process. Let me explain the problem in detail. I have log_position table on all slaves, see the definition below Table: log_position Create Table: CREATE TABLE `log_position` ( `host` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '', `time_stamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL, `log_file` varchar(32) default NULL, `log_pos` int(11) default NULL, `master_host` varchar(60) default NULL, `master_log_file` varchar(32) default NULL, `master_log_pos` int(11) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`host`,`time_stamp`) ) TYPE=MyISAM I am running a script every minute to insert a record into this table by using the information from "show slave status". my $mastersql="SHOW MASTER STATUS"; my $slavesql="SHOW SLAVE STATUS"; my $masterinfo = $conn->Hash($mastersql) if (defined $conn); my $slaveinfo = $conn->Hash($slavesql) if (defined $conn); my $logfile = $masterinfo->{File} ; my $logpos = $masterinfo->{Position} ; my $masterhost = $slaveinfo->{Master_Host} ; my $masterlogfile = $slaveinfo->{Relay_Master_Log_File} ; my $masterlogpos = $slaveinfo->{Exec_master_log_pos} ; Also I am taking log snapshot every hour to my backup server. I am in a situation where every minute I get 3000 transactions in my database, mostly inserts. When I am doing a point-in-time recovery, I am not able to see the correct position in master_log_file during that minute interval. My question is that is there any way which can help me if I have to locate the position in master_log_file during that one minute interval. I do not have option of running the script 30 sec. We are looking for something where there is a unique identifier for every record in binlog file. Any idea or help will be highly appreciable. Regards,
