RESET SLAVE [ALL]

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. It also resets to 0 the replication delay specified with the MASTER_DELAY option to CHANGE MASTER TO. To use RESET SLAVE, the slave replication threads must be stopped (use STOP SLAVE if necessary).

In MySQL 5.6 (unlike the case in MySQL 5.1 and earlier), RESET SLAVE does not change any replication connection parameters such as master host, master port, master user, or master password, which are retained in memory. This means that START SLAVE can be issued without requiring a CHANGE MASTER TO statement following RESET SLAVE.

Connection parameters are reset if the slave mysqld is shut down following RESET SLAVE. In MySQL 5.6.3 and later, you can instead use RESET SLAVE ALL to reset these connection parameters (Bug #11809016).

In MySQL 5.6.7 and later, RESET SLAVE causes an implicit commit of an ongoing transaction. See Section 13.3.3, “Statements That Cause an Implicit Commit”.

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.
