See Section 2.18.9, “Other Limitations” for all HeatWave query related limitations. Before MySQL 8.3.0, not all queries could be accelerated by HeatWave Lakehouse, and a warning or error message was displayed.
Do not create Lakehouse tables on the source DB in a replicated DB System if any of the replicas are outside MySQL HeatWave on OCI or MySQL HeatWave on AWS. This will cause replication errors.
It is not possible to dump external tables using the MySQL Shell export utilities, such as
dumpInstance()
. External tables are not replicated to InnoDB storage and cannot be exported. To export InnoDB data from a Lakehouse enabled database, exclude the external tables with anexcludeTables
option.It is not possible to restore a backup from a Lakehouse enabled DB System to a standalone DB System.
Lakehouse enabled DB Systems can support a maximum of 512 nodes.
Before MySQL 8.4.0, Lakehouse does not enforce any specified constraints. For example, Lakehouse does not enforce primary key uniqueness constraints. MySQL 8.4.0 removes this limitation.

. Enableexplicit_defaults_for_timestamp
to useALTER TABLE
andCREATE TABLE
statements with Lakehouse tables that have a timestamp column.-
The following limitations only apply to DB Systems up to MySQL 8.3.0-u2. MySQL 8.3.0-u2 removes these limitations:
Point-in-time-recovery. All DB Systems are created with point-in-time-recovery enabled by default. To enable Lakehouse, disable point-in-time-recovery.
High Availability. To enable Lakehouse, disable High Availability or create a standalone DB System for use with Lakehouse.
Read Replication.
Outbound Replication.
NoteWhen disabling Read Replicas, High Availability, or Outbound Replication on a DB System to enable Lakehouse, it is recommended to wait several minutes before enabling Lakehouse. This allows replication processes to complete their tasks and for the binlog dump threads to stop.
