=head1 RISKS
|
||||
|
||||
The following section is included to inform users about the potential risks,
|
||||
whether known or unknown, of using this tool. The two main categories of risks
|
||||
are those created by the nature of the tool (e.g. read-only tools vs. read-write
|
||||
tools) and those created by bugs.
|
||||
Percona Toolkit is mature, proven in the real world, and well tested,
|
||||
but all database tools can pose a risk to the system and the database
|
||||
server. Before using this tool, please:
|
||||
|
||||
pt-fifo-split creates and/or deletes the L<"--fifo"> file. Otherwise, no other
|
||||
files are modified, and it merely reads lines from the file given on the
|
||||
command-line. It should be very low-risk.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
At the time of this release, we know of no bugs that could cause serious harm to
|
||||
users.
