How to best disable log bin for mysql_upgrade
Posted by: Russell Glaue

I am upgrading minor MySQL versions, 5.0.67 to 5.0.84
I have a master-master replication setup, and want to upgrade both installations.
The ideal procedure for upgrading mysql using the mysql_upgrade command is to have binary logging turned off during the execution of mysql_upgrade.

My situation is I do not want to turn off binary logging for the entire server, I would like to turn off binary logging just for the session of the mysql_upgrade connection.

I wish there was a --disable-log-bin option as exists in mysqlbinlog:
mysql_upgrade --disable-log-bin [options]
But mysql_upgrade does not support --disable-log-bin
So it seems my only option is to turn off binary logging for the entire server while I execute mysql_upgrade. Which also means blocking write access to the server while it runs so that statements I do want logged for replication do not occur.

Is there another simple way to achieve this? Or what is best practice that achieves the least amount of down time?

Does anyone agree with me that mysql_upgrade should support the --disable-log-bin option, as supported in mysqlbinlog?
The documentation says that the execution of mysql_upgrade should not be replicated, so it seems to me an option like this should have been made available.

Alternately, if I could get an SQL script of the changes that would be made, I can insert a "set local sql_log_bin=0" in it to achieve my desired results.


Any help?
