MySQL replication - Replication enables data from one MySQL database server (the master) to be replicated to one or more MySQL database servers (the slaves). Replication is asynchronous by default.
GTID - A global transaction identifier (GTID) is a unique identifier created and associated with each transaction when it is committed on the server of origin (master). This identifier is unique not only to the server on which it originated, but is unique across all servers in a given replication setup. There is a 1-to-1 mapping between all transactions and all GTIDs.For more information about GTIDs click here
MySQL replication with GTIDs is up and running using
Restrictions on Replication with GTIDs is documented here
1. Temporary tables - CREATE and DROP TEMPORARY tables are not supported inside transaction. e.g.
START TRANSACTION; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t2 like t; ERROR 1787 (HY000): When ENFORCE_GTID_CONSISTENCY = 1, the statements CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE and DROP TEMPORARY TABLE can be executed in a non-transactional context only, and require that AUTOCOMMIT = 1.
2. Updates involving non-transactional storage engines - It is not possible to mix non-transactional tables (such as MYISAM) with innodb tables within the same transaction.
The same issue can arise if:
- When master and slave database use different storage engines for their respective versions of the same table. e.g. Table 'A' on master database use Innodb, but the same table on replication slave host use MyISAM storage engine with table 'A'.
- When MySQL configuration on master/slave hosts use different binary log format e.g. master host is configured to use 'ROW' format and slave host is using 'STATEMENT'
3. CREATE TABLE .... SELECT - It is not supported to perform such type of statements e.g.
create table t2 select * from t; ERROR 1786 (HY000): CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is forbidden when ENFORCE_GTID_CONSISTENCY = 1.
As work around CREATE/DROP temporary table statements can be performed outside transaction and CREATE TABLE ... SELECT could be performed using two statements such as CREATE TABLE t1; INSERT INTO t1 SELECT. Similarly, developers would be forced to convert non-transnational tables (e.g. MYISAM) to INNODB. In short, it would be a major code change for the existing application.
