RESET MASTER

Synopsis

RESET MASTER

Use this statement to delete all the binary log files on the master server. Binary logfiles are located in the directory indicated by the value of the --bin-log option of mysqld (see Chapter 10). The logfiles are typically named log-bin.n, where n is a six-digit numbering index. Use the SHOW MASTER LOGS statement to get a list of log files to be sure.

This statement will delete all of the master logfiles and begin the numbering of the new file at 000001. To get the slave servers in line with the reset master, run the RESET SLAVE statement. You can run the MASTER and SLAVE options together in a comma-separated list like so:

RESET MASTER, SLAVE;

This is a recommended method for ensuring consistency.
