Mysql：windows上mysql服务管理
自5.1.21及以后的变化：
- The following table shows the available servers for Windows in MySQL 5.1.20 and earlier.
| Binary | Description |
| mysqld-nt | Optimized binary with named-pipe support |
| mysqld | Optimized binary without named-pipe support |
| mysqld-debug | Like mysqld-nt, but compiled with full debugging and automatic memory allocation checking |
- The following table shows the available servers for Windows in MySQL 5.1.21 and later.
| Binary | Description |
| mysqld | Optimized binary with named-pipe support |
| mysqld-debug | Like mysqld, but compiled with full debugging and automatic memory allocation checking |
安装方式：
- binary分发：windows的诱人之处
- zip包：不是菜鸟的人乐于使用的方式
- source编译：介于牛A 和 牛C直接的人 使用的方式，高度定制！
版本：
- 严重推荐使用最新的GA（general avialiablity）版，至少是RC(release candidate)版。
- 其实版本选择主要是够用、适用、好用！不一定是最新的。就如mysql被sun并购后生产了几个垃圾的版本！
mysqld服务进程读取的选项文件
- %windir%\my.ini %windir%\my.cnf C:\my.ini C:\my.cnf mysql_basedir\my.ini mysql_basedir\my.cnf
- mysql5.1.x可以识别的选项节：[mysqld] [server] [mysqld-5.1]
mysqld服务进程的运行方式：
- 单独的应用程序模式：直接从命令行运行 mysqld.exe 或者 指定--standalone
- 服务模式：如果是“完全路径的mysqld.exe”，可以通过定义 --defaults-file来指定不同的选项
- 如何创建多个服务：
- mysqld.exe --install 安装默认的【Mysql】服务，读取【标准位置】的选项配置文件的【mqsql】节
- mysqld.exe --install Mysql --defaults-file=fullpathname 安装默认的【Mysql】服务，读取指定的【fullpathname】的选项配置文件的【mqsql】节
- mysqld.exe --install user_name 安装指定名称的【user_name】服务，读取【标准位置】的选项配置文件的【mqsql】节和与指定服务名称的完全相同的【user_name】节
- mysqld.exe --install user_name --defaults-file=fullpathname 安装指定名称的【user_name】服务，读取指定的【fullpathname】的选项配置文件的【mqsql】节
- 控制mysqld服务的几种标准方式
- net start、net stop
- sc start、sc stop
- mysqladmin
- 服务管理器
windows上特有的选项
- --install Install the default service (NT)
- --install-manual Install the default service started manually (NT)
- --install service_name Install an optional service (NT)

--replicate-do-db=name
Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
specified database. To specify more than one database,
use the directive multiple times, once for each database.
Note that this will only work if you do not use
cross-database queries such as UPDATE some_db.some_table
SET foo='bar' while having selected a different or no
database. If you need cross database updates to work,
make sure you have 3.23.28 or later, and use
replicate-wild-do-table=db_name.%.
--replicate-do-table=name
Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
specified table. To specify more than one table, use the
directive multiple times, once for each table. This will
work for cross-database updates, in contrast to
replicate-do-db.
--replicate-ignore-db=name
Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the specified
database. To specify more than one database to ignore,
use the directive multiple times, once for each database.
This option will not work if you use cross database
updates. If you need cross database updates to work, make
sure you have 3.23.28 or later, and use
replicate-wild-ignore-table=db_name.%.
--replicate-ignore-table=name
Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the specified
table. To specify more than one table to ignore, use the
directive multiple times, once for each table. This will
work for cross-datbase updates, in contrast to
replicate-ignore-db.
--replicate-rewrite-db=name
Updates to a database with a different name than the
original. Example:
replicate-rewrite-db=master_db_name->slave_db_name.
--replicate-same-server-id
In replication, if set to 1, do not skip events having
our server id. Default value is 0 (to break infinite
loops in circular replication). Can't be set to 1 if
--log-slave-updates is used.
--replicate-wild-do-table=name
Tells the slave thread to restrict replication to the
tables that match the specified wildcard pattern. To
specify more than one table, use the directive multiple
times, once for each table. This will work for
cross-database updates. Example:
replicate-wild-do-table=foo%.bar% will replicate only
updates to tables in all databases that start with foo
and whose table names start with bar.
--replicate-wild-ignore-table=name
Tells the slave thread to not replicate to the tables
that match the given wildcard pattern. To specify more
than one table to ignore, use the directive multiple
times, once for each table. This will work for
cross-database updates. Example:
replicate-wild-ignore-table=foo%.bar% will not do updates
to tables in databases that start with foo and whose
table names start with bar.
--report-host=name Hostname or IP of the slave to be reported to to the
master during slave registration. Will appear in the
output of SHOW SLAVE HOSTS. Leave unset if you do not
want the slave to register itself with the master. Note
that it is not sufficient for the master to simply read
the IP of the slave off the socket once the slave
connects. Due to NAT and other routing issues, that IP
may not be valid for connecting to the slave from the
master or other hosts.
--report-password=name
Undocumented.
--report-port=# Port for connecting to slave reported to the master
during slave registration. Set it only if the slave is

--slave-exec-mode=name
Modes for how replication events should be executed.
