MariaDBERRORNotableReplicationHIGH confidence

Stored function prevents switching out of row-based replication

Production Risk

Low — the change is blocked safely.

What this means

Cannot change binlog_format away from ROW while a stored function is executing.

Why it happens
  1. 1A stored function is currently executing when a SET binlog_format statement is issued.
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
-- Inside a stored function:
SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'STATEMENT';

expected output

ERROR 1562 (HY000): Cannot change the binlog direct flag inside a stored function or trigger

Fix

Change binlog_format outside stored routines

Change binlog_format outside stored routines
-- Change binlog_format before calling the function:
SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'STATEMENT';
CALL my_procedure();

Why this works

binlog_format changes must happen outside the scope of executing stored routines.
