I would like to empty the slow query log without restarting MySQL. If I simply delete lines, the server will no longer write to the file. I have tried leaving the header, but still no writes unless I restart MySQL. I am on RHEL4. The group and owner of the file are correct: 4 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 157 Aug 7 06:32 slow_query_log Thanks in advance.
