4.6.12. mysql_find_rows — Extract SQL Statements from Files

mysql_find_rows reads files containing SQL statements and extracts statements that match a given regular expression or that contain USE db_name or SET statements. The utility expects statements to be terminated with semicolon (;) characters.
