ROWS_EVENT_V1/V2, ROWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT_V1
A ROWS_EVENT_V1 is written for row based replication if data is inserted, deleted or updated
A ROWS_EVENT (version 2) is written for row based replication if data is inserted, deleted or updated if database server is MySQL 5.6 or newer. MariaDB Server doesn't send version 2 row events.

UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT_V1 | Update existing row |
DELETE_ROWS_EVENT_V1 | Delete existing row |
WRITE_ROWS_COMPRESSED_EVENT_V1 | Insert new row |

Table id
Table id refers to a table defined by TABLE_MAP_EVENT. The special value 0xFFFFFF should have "end of statement flag" (0x0001) set and indicates that table maps can be freed.
Flags
0x0001 | End of statement |
0x0002 | No foreign key checks |
0x0004 | No unique key checks |
0x0008 | Indicates that rows in this event are complete |
0x0010 | No check constraints |
Extra data length (version 2)
The length of extra data
Extra data (version 2)
Extra data, length is extra data length - 2
Column Data Formats
The row data is stored in a packed format where each field is encoded in a particular format. The encoding is almost identical to the binary protocol but there are a few differences.
The field metadata is stored in the metadata block of the TABLE_MAP_EVENT. The metadata is required to decode the events. The following list shows number of bytes a field uses from the metadata block.
- 2 bytes
- MYSQL_TYPE_BIT
- MYSQL_TYPE_ENUM
- MYSQL_TYPE_SET
- MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDECIMAL
- MYSQL_TYPE_DECIMAL
- MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR
- MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING
- MYSQL_TYPE_STRING
- 1 byte
- MYSQL_TYPE_TINY_BLOB
- MYSQL_TYPE_MEDIUM_BLOB
- MYSQL_TYPE_LONG_BLOB
- MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB
- MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP2
- MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME2
- MYSQL_TYPE_TIME2
- MYSQL_TYPE_FLOAT
- MYSQL_TYPE_DOUBLE
The types that aren't listed here do not store data in the the metadata block.
Simple Types
MYSQL_TYPE_NULL | Bit set in null bitmap, no value in row data |
MYSQL_TYPE_TINY | 1 byte integer |
MYSQL_TYPE_YEAR | 1 byte integer (year = value + 1900) |
MYSQL_TYPE_SHORT | 2 byte integer |
MYSQL_TYPE_INT24 | 3 byte integer |
MYSQL_TYPE_LONG | 4 byte integer |
MYSQL_TYPE_LONGLONG | 8 byte integer |
MYSQL_TYPE_FLOAT | 4 byte floating point value (stored as a C float type) |
MYSQL_TYPE_DOUBLE | 8 byte floating point value (stored as a C double type) |
MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB
and other blob types
Stored as a length-encoded string where the string is preceded by a variable-sized integer that stores the length of the blob. The size of the preceding integer in bytes is stored as a one byte integer in the table metadata that is a part of the table map event.
For example if the value 4 is stored in the table metadata the length is stored as a 4 byte integer (e.g. uint32_t
) followed by the data.
The exact column_type can be determined by the metadata length:
Length | Type |
1 | MYSQL_TYPE_TINY_BLOB |
2 | MYSQL_TYPE_BLOB |
3 | MYSQL_TYPE_MEDIUM_BLOB |
4 | MYSQL_TYPE_LONG_BLOB |
MYSQL_TYPE_STRING
, MYSQL_TYPE_SET
and MYSQL_TYPE_ENUM
Stored as a fixed-length string with the length of the string stored in the second byte of the table metadata. All three of these types are stored as MYSQL_TYPE_STRING
in the binlog and the real type of the field is stored in the first byte of the metadata.
MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR
and other variable length string types
Stored as a length-encoded string where the string is preceded by a variable-sized integer that stores the length of the string. The field length is stored as a two byte integer in the table metadata.
If the field length is larger than 255, the string length is stored as a two byte integer. If the value is equal to or less than 255, the string length is stored as a one byte integer.
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME
Note: This field type is only used in MariaDB if global variable mysql56_temporal_format was set to OFF. Stored as a 8 byte value with the values stored as multiples of 100. This means that the stored value is in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS and can be easily extracted by repeatedly calculating the remainder of dividing the value by 100 and dividing the value by 100. The following pseudo-code demonstrates extracting the value.
value = read_8_byte_value(row_data) date_val= value / 1000000 time_val= value % 1000000 year = (date_val / 100) / 100 month = (date_val / 100) % 100 day = date_val % 100 hour= (time_val / 100) / 100 minute = (time_val / 100) % 100 second = time_val % 100
MYSQL_TYPE_TIME
Note: This field type is only used in MariaDB if global variable mysql56_temporal_format was set to OFF.
Stored as a 3 byte value with the values stored as multiples of 100. This means that the stored value is in the format HHMMSS and can be easily extracted the same way a MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME
is extracted. The following pseudo-code demonstrates extracting the value.
time_val = read_3_byte_value(row_data); /* myisam pack format */ hour= (time_val / 100) / 100; minute = (time_val / 100) % 100; second = time_val % 100;
MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME2
Stored as 4-byte value The number of decimals for the fractional part is stored in the table metadata as a one byte value. The number of bytes that follow the 5 byte datetime value can be calculated with the following formula: (decimals + 1) / 2
val = read_5_byte_value(row_data) - 0x8000000000 d_val= val >> 17; t_val = val % (1 << 17); day= d_val % (1 << 5); month= (d_val >> 5) % 13; year= (d_val >> 5) / 13; second= t_val % (1 << 6); minute= (t_val >> 6) % (1 << 6); hour= (t_val)(time_part >> 12);
MYSQL_TYPE_TIME2
Stored as 3-byte value The number of decimals for the fractional part is stored in the table metadata as a one byte value. The number of bytes that follow the 3 byte time value can be calculated with the following formula: (decimals + 1) / 2
t_val = read_3_byte_value(row_data) - 0x800000 if (t_val < 0) { signed= 1; t_val= - tval; } hour= (t_val >> 12) % (1 << 10); minute= (t_val >> 6) % (1 << 6); second= t_val % (1 << 6);
MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP2
Stored as a 4 byte UNIX timestamp (number of seconds since 00:00, Jan 1 1970 UTC) followed by the fractional second parts. The number of decimals for the fractional part is stored in the table metadata as a one byte value. The number of bytes that follow the 4 byte timestamp can be calculated with the following formula: (decimals + 1) / 2
Microseconds for MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME2, MYSQL_TYPE_TIME2 and MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP
len = (decimals + 1) / 2 val= read_len_byte_value(row_data) llen= 0: microseconds= 0 len = 1 or 2: microseconds = val * 10000 len = 3 or 4: microseconds = 2-bytes val in myisam pack format len = 5 or 6: microseconds = 3-bytes val in myisam pack format
MYSQL_TYPE_DATE
Stored as a 3 byte value where bits 1 to 5 store the day, bits 6 to 9 store the month and the remaining bits store the year.
MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP
Stored as a 4 byte UNIX timestamp (number of seconds since 00:00, Jan 1 1970 UTC).
