\fBmysql_find_rows [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] [\fR\fB\fIfile_name\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.]\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBmysql_find_rows\fR
reads files containing SQL statements and extracts statements that match a given regular expression or that contain
USE \fIdb_name\fR
or
SET
statements\&. The utility was written for use with update log files (as used prior to MySQL 5\&.0) and as such expects statements to be terminated with semicolon (;) characters\&. It may be useful with other files that contain SQL statements as long as statements are terminated with semicolons\&.
.PP
Invoke
\fBmysql_find_rows\fR

.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
