Choosing what to log in mysql binary logs

Question

I'm running the mysql-server-5.0.95-1.el5_7.1.

I'm getting some strange behaviours in the database, and I'd like to store some actions.

Reading the Mysql Reference Manual, I set the binary-logs and started logging all what happened in the database.

But the log files are too big, and I'd like to know if there is a way to configure the binary log to store just some actions (like ALTER TABLE, or DELETE, or CREATE INDEX) instead logging all actions.

If yes, how can I do it.

Rgds.

Answer 1

The point of the binary logs is to record state changes on the server. If it changes state, it gets recorded.
