How to setup mysql binary log?

Question

MySQL

I'm trying to make an incremental backup via binlog.
Added lines to mysql config

server-id = master-01
log-bin = /var/lib/mysql/binary_log
binlog-do-db = base
sync_binlog = 1

For the test, I created a table and inserted several rows into it.
When I look at the log mysqlbinlog -s binary_log.000003 > log.sql
, I get this text:

/*!50530 SET @@SESSION.PSEUDO_SLAVE_MODE=1*/;
/*!50003 SET @[email protected]@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;
DELIMITER /*!*/;
ROLLBACK/*!*/;
# [empty]
SET @@SESSION.GTID_NEXT= 'ANONYMOUS'/*!*/;
SET TIMESTAMP=1489860072/*!*/;

DELIMITER ;
# End of log file
/*!50003 SET [email protected]_COMPLETION_TYPE*/;
/*!50530 SET @@SESSION.PSEUDO_SLAVE_MODE=0*/;

I see here the creation of a database, the creation of a table and three empty blocks, presumably being an insertion of data, but for some reason there are no queries in them.
Why?

Answer 1

As it turned out, mysqlbinlog, without the option, -sdisplays lines like BINLOG 'base64_encoded_text', which is a service command for mysql. In order to see the query, you need to add the argument when calling mysqlbinlog -v, but the query will be displayed as a comment.
And I thought that mysqlbinlog outputs queries in the same way as mysqldump ...
