RESET SLAVE

RESET SLAVE makes the slave forget its replication position in the master's binary log. This statement is meant to be used for a clean start: It deletes the master.info and relay-log.info files, all the relay log files, and starts a new relay log file. To use RESET SLAVE, the slave replication threads must be stopped (use STOP SLAVE if necessary).

If any startup options for setting connection parameters (such as master host, master port, master user, and master password) are in use, then any corresponding connection information stored in the master.info file is immediately reset using the values specified for these options. However, since these options are deprecated in MySQL 5.1 and removed altogether from MySQL 5.5, you are encouraged to use a CHANGE MASTER TO statement instead to reset the connection parameters. (If you do not use the startup options, you must issue CHANGE MASTER TO in such cases if you do not want the connection settings to be cleared.)

If the slave SQL thread was in the middle of replicating temporary tables when it was stopped, and RESET SLAVE is issued, these replicated temporary tables are deleted on the slave.
