FLUSH
=====

The FLUSH statement clears or reloads different internal caches. One variant acquires a lock.

FLUSH 
    flush_option [, flush_option] ...

flush_option:
    | TABLES table_name [, table_name] ...
    (closes all specified tables, forces those tables in use to be closed, and flushes the query cache for the named tables)
    | TABLES WITH READ LOCK
    (closes all open tables and locks all tables for all databases with a global read lock*)
    | LOGS
    (closes and reopens all log files--if binary logging is enabled, the sequence number of the binary log file is incremented by one relative to the previous file)
    | STATUS
    (adds the current thread's session status variable values to the global values and resets the session values to zero)
    
*To release a FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK, you must issue an UNLOCK TABLES.
