Sometimes there is a need to take a binary log and apply it to a database with a different name than the original name of the database on binlog producer.
New variable rewrite-db has been added to the mysqlbinlog utility that allows the changing names of the used databases in both Row-Based and Statement-Based replication. This was possible before by using tools like grep, awk and sed but only for SBR, because with RBR database name is encoded within the BINLOG ‘....’ statement.
Variable rewrite-db of mysqlbinlog utility allows to setup rewriting rule “from->”to”.
