welp if there isn't any way to send messages to the log file, the method of creating a log table and inserting log strings to that table is a suitable answer for me. thanks – ufk Nov 30 '10 at 18:31

You can install the User Defined function that is available here...

https://github.com/mysqludf/lib_mysqludf_log

and then use it anywhere in the select query like...

mysql> SELECT log_error(concat(now(), 'error in selecting line 13'));
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| log_error(concat(now(), 'error in selecting line 13')) |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                      0 |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

# tail /var/log/mysqld.log
2010-12-02 03:16:03error in selecting line 13
