The --log-bin option is used for replication and point-in-time recovery. With MySQL 8.0, the default setting for the --log-bin option has changed from OFF to ON.

Consult your database administrator for assistance with the recommended -log-bin setting for your organization.

  • If you use replication or point-in-time recoveryMake sure that the new default setting is appropriate for your environment.
  • If you do not use replication or point-in-time recoveryIt is recommended that you change the --log-bin option to OFF to prevent extra disk space from being used.
