Flush Wizard

The Flush Wizard provides graphical interface for executing all types of the FLUSH command. To run the wizard select Tools | Administrations Tools | Flush.

 

The first step of the wizard allows you to select the flush operations to perform.

 

Check options to execute the corresponding operations. You should select at least one operation to proceed to the next step.

 

Hosts

Empties the host cache tables. You should flush the host tables if some of your hosts change IP number or if you get the error message Host ... is blocked. When more than max_connect_errors errors occur in a row for a given host while connection to the MySQL server, MySQL assumes something is wrong and blocks the host from further connection requests. Flushing the host tables allows the host to attempt to connect again. 

Logs

Closes and reopens all log files. If you have specified an update log file or a binary log file without an extension, the extension number of the log file will be incremented by one relative to the previous file. If you have used an extension in the file name, MySQL will close and reopen the update log file.

Privileges

Reloads the privileges from the grant tables in the mysql database.  

Tables

Closes all open tables and force all tables in use to be closed. This also flushes the query cache.

Status

Resets most status variables to zero. This is something one should only use when debugging a query.

Tables With Read Lock

Closes all open tables and locks all tables for all databases with a read lock until you execute UNLOCK TABLES. This is very convenient way to get backups if you have a filesystem, like Veritas, that can take snapshots in time.

Des Keys

Reloads the DES keys from the file that was specified with the --des-key-file option at server startup time. 

Query Cache

Defragment the query cache to better utilise its memory. This command will not remove any queries from the cache, unlike RESET QUERY CACHE.  

User Resources

Resets all user resources to zero. This will enable blocked users to login again.

 

The final step of the wizard displays the log of executing the operations.

 

Click Finish to start executing the selected commands.
