title: SELECT queries in MySQL binary_log
body: <p>I am trying to verify database histories. For that, I need to log and parse read-write accesses to a database.</p>
  
  <p>I know MySQL mainly offers two types of logs - <code>general query log</code> and <code>binary log</code>. General query log is not helpful for me since it does not log end timestamps. Wheresas, binary log is perfect for my work, but it does not log read access, <em>i.e.</em> <code>SELECT</code> queries.</p>
  
  <p>So I want to know if there is a way to force binary logging such that it logs non-modifying queries too.</p>
