So, SELECTS do not appear in the binlog. That said, this is the script I have runned $link = mysql_connect( /*settings*/ ); mysql_select_db('devtool', $link); mysql_query( 'TRUNCATE TABLE dev_activities', $link ); mysql_query( 'TRUNCATE TABLE dev_files', $link ); mysql_query( 'INSERT INTO dev_activities VALUES (1, 1)', $link ); mysql_query( 'INSERT INTO dev_files VALUES (1, 1)', $link ); mysql_query( 'INSERT INTO dev_activities VALUES (2, 2)', $link ); mysql_query( 'INSERT INTO dev_files VALUES (2, 2)', $link ); and this is the binglog's entries use `devtool`; TRUNCATE TABLE dev_activities use `devtool`; TRUNCATE TABLE dev_files use `devtool`; INSERT INTO dev_activities VALUES (1, 1) use `devtool`; INSERT INTO dev_files VALUES (1, 1) use `devtool`; INSERT INTO dev_activities VALUES (2, 2) use `devtool`; INSERT INTO dev_files VALUES (2, 2) -- Martin Scotta
