MySQL saves all changes to the database in a binary file called binary log.
MySQL provides a decoder called mysqlbinlog to decode these files. I thought if I wanted to parse this log file directly from an application then I need to find a way to decode it myself using C# for instance.
I know if I had the privilege I could use SHOW BINLOG EVENTS. However, parsing the file would be a better solution for me.
Has any of you done that before? Any suggestions?
A look into the mysqlbinlog-tool code might be useful. Additionally, the dependencies of that tool are available here
