i stuck on one question! the question is that i hava a large database in production environment and i have a full, incremental backup like till 2pm and aftre 1 hour i suddenly run the "drop database" command and now i want to restore that database before "drop database" statement from binary log files. And the difficulty is that how i know that from which binary log file i have to restore my data when there are so many binlog files like 100 files?

You dump each binlog file and grep it until you find the file and position you're looking for.
Example: I ran 'drop schema test2' on my local instance and then checked the last binary log file. I use grep -B3 which outputs the line that matches and the 3 lines before that line.
mysqlbinlog binlog.000069 | grep -B3 'drop schema test2'
# at 43985

drop schema test2
If you have 100 binary log files, you need to search them one by one. This is a tedious chore, time-consuming and boring. But this is the way to do it.
