Enable Binary Logging (for Change Data Capture)

Change data capture (CDC) is enabled automatically for the database. However, you must enable binary logging for replication. Binary logs record transaction updates so replication tools can generate changes. You need the following prerequisites in order to enable binary logging:
  • a server
  • the appropriate user privileges

​
Enable Binary Logging

  1. Determine whether binary logging is enabled by submitting the following statement from a prompt: 
    SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_bin';
    If the option is not enabled (that is, your receive an OFF message), configure the following options in the Server configuration file: 
    server-id         = 223344
log_bin           = mariadb-bin
binlog_format     = ROW
binlog_row_image  = FULL
expire_logs_days  = 10
    Descriptions of these options are available in Binary-Logging Configuration Properties.
  2. Verify that binary logging is enabled by resubmitting this statement: 
    SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_bin';

​
Binary-Logging Configuration Properties

This section describes the values for options that are used earlier in step 1:
  • server-id: This value is a unique Id for each server and each replication client in the cluster.
  • log_bin: The value for this option is the base name of the sequence of binlog files.
  • binlog_format: The format value for this option is must be set either to ROW or row.
  • binlog_row_image: The value for this option must be set to FULL or full.
  • expire_logs_days: This value is the number of days before the binlog file is removed automatically. The default value is 0, which means that there is no automatic removal. Set the value to match the needs of your environment.
