Row injection impossible in STATEMENT binlog mode

Production Risk

Medium — the row injection fails; replication may stall.

What this means

A BINLOG row injection statement cannot be executed when binlog_format is set to STATEMENT.

Why it happens
  1. 1Attempting to replay a row-based binary log event (via BINLOG statement) when binlog_format=STATEMENT.
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
SET SESSION binlog_format = 'STATEMENT';
BINLOG '...'; -- row injection

expected output

ERROR 1615 (HY000): Cannot execute row injection: impossible to write to the binary log since BINLOG_FORMAT = STATEMENT.

Fix

Switch to ROW format before applying row injections

Switch to ROW format before applying row injections
SET SESSION binlog_format = 'ROW';
BINLOG '...';

Why this works

Row injection events require ROW or MIXED binary log format.
