MySQL binlog does not show SQL statements While checking the binlogs, it struck me that I cannot see any SQL statement. Here's an example:

$&gt; sudo mysqlbinlog 
    --database=securities 
    --start-datetime='2015-11-26 13:00:00' 
    --stop-datetime='2015-11-26 14:00:00' 
    --base64-output=decode-rows 
    --verbose 
    mysql-bin.000011 


and the output

BEGIN
/*!*/;
# at 1014869455
# at 1014869609
#151126 13:00:16 server id 1  end_log_pos 1014869680    Query   thread_id=1100645   exec_time=0 error_code=0
SET TIMESTAMP=1448539216/*!*/;
COMMIT
/*!*/;
# at 1014869680
#151126 13:00:18 server id 1  end_log_pos 1014869750    Query   thread_id=1100211   exec_time=0 error_code=0
SET TIMESTAMP=1448539218/*!*/;
BEGIN
/*!*/;
# at 1014869750
# at 1014869904
#151126 13:00:18 server id 1  end_log_pos 1014869975    Query   thread_id=1100211   exec_time=0 error_code=0
SET TIMESTAMP=1448539218/*!*/;
COMMIT


However, database securities is being replicated to the slaves without any trouble. Also, what do the # at 1014869904 mean? I would have expected to see statements there.
Remove this clause:

--database=securities
