16.3.1.3. Replication of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT Statements

This section discusses the rules that are applied when a CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement is replicated.

Note

CREATE TABLE ... SELECT always performs an implicit commit (Section 12.4.3, “Statements That Cause an Implicit Commit”).

Statement succeeds.  If the CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement succeeds on the master, then the CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement is itself replicated.

Statement fails.  The failure of a CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is handled according to the following criteria:

  • No IF NOT EXISTS option.  If the CREATE TABLE ... SELECT does not contain an IF NOT EXISTS option, then the statement has no effect. However, the implicit commit caused by the statement is logged. This is true regardless of the storage engine used and the reason for which the statement failed.

  • Statement uses IF NOT EXISTS.  If the CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement includes the IF NOT EXISTS option and fails, the CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT is logged with an error.
