Hi Daevid,
There are the binary logs. Yes they are used for replication or you can use them much the
same as a logical log exists in some other technologies.
You can find a good description of them at the mysql manual website at :

Subject: I have 972 vmware-bin.000XXX files!
I use a VMware for LAMP development work.
I just looked in my /var/lib/mysql dir and there are 972 of these
vmware-bin.000001 ... vmware-bin.000972 files! Yipes!
Do I need them? Can I delete them? How do I prevent them from being created
all the time?
Can't they all just go into one vmware-bin file (as in append, like a .log
file does)?
I saw this post, but it doesn't answer any questions:

Googling for 'mysql bin.000001' seems to indicate these are related to
replication -- I'm not using replication.

P.S. I found this link:
http://miniprep.caltech.edu/~remote/blog/?p=99
Which says to run "reset master;" -- which did get rid of them for now, but
my questions above are still valid.
