systemd is the parent process of the sqlservr process and receives it’s exit code. Now when things go wrong, that’s when process return a non-zero value. In a relational database system this is significant, in that, we really do want our systems to shut down cleanly. This means all is well in the world and the process has shut down. When a process exits, it will return an integer value to the parent process. If a process terminates cleanly, it conventionally returns 0 to the parent process. We’ll save those discussions for another day. There are other conditions that cause it to restart such as responding to unclean signals, watchdog and also service timeouts. What Restart=on-failure option does, is if a systemd unit returns an unclean exit code, systemd will automatically restart the service. Inside that file we have the following configuration: Service units in systemd are configured in unit files and SQL Server on Linux’s unit file lives in the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/rvice. Journalctl -u mssql-server –no-pager | more We’ll use this command in the next section. To get the text to wrap, use the following code…then pipe the output into a pager like more or less because you know… less is more. Running just journalctl will cause the text output to run off the side of the screen without wrapping the text in your terminal. We can query the information stored in journald with the command journalctl and below is the syntax to query a particular service unit’s log in journald. The SQL Server Error Log lands in here because it’s written to standard out and by default, a service unit’s standard out is written into the journal. Now with respect to SQL Server on Linux, the information logged into journald is systemd’s information about our rvice unit and also the SQL Server Error Log. Journald stores logging information from systemd units. It does much more than that, in fact, one of it’s other core components is journald. Meaning, it’s responsible for the orderly starting of services on a Linux system. Systemd is an initialization daemon, it’s job is to bring the system to usable state. My friend and SQL Server guru Argenis Fernandez – about this behavior on Twitter and I’ve been meaning to write this post, so here you go! Also, there’s a Connect item filed by Argenis on this here. You’ll notice that ~/.mysql_history file is empty and does not store any previously typed commands.In this blog post we’re going to cover systemd, process exit codes and highlight how systemd reacts in certain exit conditions from SQL Server on Linux. Now, login to the mysql and execute few sql commands. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 ramesh admin 9 Dec 26 19:18 /home/ramesh/.mysql_history -> /dev/null Next, create a symbolic link of ~/.mysql_history pointing to /dev/null as shown below. $ mysql -u root -pyour-passwordĬat: /home/ramesh/.mysql_history: No such file or directory 4. You’ll notice that ~/.mysql_history file is not getting created anymore. Next, set the MYSQL_HISTFILE env variable to /dev/null $ export MYSQL_HISTFILE=/dev/null Disable mysql history using MYSQL_HISTFILE environment variableįirst, remove the ~/.mysql_history file $ rm ~/.mysql_history Select table_name, table_rows from tables 3. ~/.mysql_history file stores the mysql historyĮxit from the mysql command prompt and view the ~/.mysql_history file that will contain all the sql commands you executed from the mysql command prompt. Note: Now, if you press up arrow, you can see all the previous commands you’ve typed from the mysql prompt. Mysql> select table_name, table_rows from tables Execute some sql commands from mysql> promptĬonnect to mysql from the unix command line and execute few sql commands as shown below. In this article, let us review how to disable mysql history.ġ. Similar to bash shell, mysql stores the commands typed in the mysql> prompt in the ~/.mysql_history file. This is important for me, as when I type some sql commands that contains passwords, I see the clear text password stored in the ~/.mysql_history, which I don’t want to happen.Īnswer: Bash history feature stores the Unix commands typed in the command line in the ~/.bash_history file. Question: How do I disable mysql history? I don’t want mysql to remember the previous commands that I typed from the mysql> prompt.
