--disable-gtid-unsafe-statements

Obsolete: Replaced by --enforce-gtid-consistency in MySQL 5.6.9. (Bug #14775984)

--enforce-gtid-consistency

When set, this option allows execution of only those statements that can be logged in a transactionally safe manner. This means that the following operations cannot be used when this option is enabled:

Prior to MySQL 5.6.9, this option was named --disable-gtid-unsafe-statements. (Bug #14775984)

Prior to MySQL 5.6.7, using this option caused nontransactional DML on temporary tables to fail, although changes to temporary tables are not logged when using row-based binary logging. In MySQL 5.6.7 and later, nontransactional DML statements are allowed on temporary tables with --disable-gtid-unsafe-statements (--enforce-gtid-consistency beginning with MySQL 5.6.9) as long as all affected tables are temporary tables (Bug #14272672).

Prior to MySQL 5.6.7, mysql_upgrade could not be used with a MySQL Server running with this option enabled, unless mysql_upgrade was running with --write-binlog explicitly disabled. (Bug #13833710, Bug #14221043) In MySQL 5.6.7 and later, it is possible but not recommended to run mysql_upgrade on a server where --gtid-mode=ON, since the MySQL system tables use the MyISAM storage engine, which is nontransactional.

In MySQL 5.6.8 and earlier, you could not use any statements affecting nontransactional tables when --enforce-gtid-consistency was used (the option was then called --disable-gtid-unsafe-statements). In MySQL 5.6.9 and later, this option allows single statements updating nontransactional tables. This is intended chiefly for use with programs such as mysql_install_db and mysql_upgrade. (Bug #14722659)

--gtid-mode

This option specifies whether GTIDs are enabled. Starting the server with --gtid-mode=ON requires that the server also be started with the --log-bin and --log-slave-updates options as well. (In addition, you should also use --enforce-gtid-consistency.)

Setting this option to OFF when there are GTIDs in the binary log or in the relay log, or to ON when there remain anonymous transactions to be executed, causes an error.

Prior to MySQL 5.6.7, mysql_upgrade could not be used with a MySQL Server running with this option enabled, unless mysql_upgrade was running with --write-binlog explicitly disabled. (Bug #13833710, Bug #14221043) In MySQL 5.6.7 and later, it is possible but not recommended to run mysql_upgrade on a server where --gtid-mode=ON, since it may make changes to MySQL system tables that use the MyISAM storage engine, which is nontransactional.

Prior to MySQL 5.6.10, setting the global value for the sql_slave_skip_counter variable to 1 had no effect when --gtid-mode was set to ON. (Bug #15833516) A workaround in MySQL 5.6.9 and earlier versions is to reset the slave's position using CHANGE MASTER TO ... MASTER_LOG_FILE = ... MASTER_LOG_POS = ..., including the MASTER_AUTO_POSITION = 0 option with this statement if needed.

disable_gtid_unsafe_statements

Obsolete: Replaced by enforce_gtid_consistency in MySQL 5.6.9. (Bug #14775984)

gtid_done

Obsolete: replaced in MySQL 5.6.9 by gtid_executed. (Bug #14775984)

enforce_gtid_consistency

When this variable is true, execution is allowed of only those statements that can be logged in a transactionally safe manner, which means that the following operations cannot be used:

This variable is read-only. To set it, use the --enforce-gtid-consistency option on the command line or in an option file when starting the MySQL Server.

Prior to MySQL 5.6.9, this variable was named disable_gtid_unsafe_statements. (Bug #14775984)

gtid_executed

When used with global scope, this variable contains a representation of the set of all transactions that are logged in the binary log. This is the same as the value of the Executed_Gtid_Set column in the output of SHOW MASTER STATUS and SHOW SLAVE STATUS.

When used with session scope, this variable contains a representation of the set of transactions that are written to the cache in the current session.

The set of transactions that can be found in the binary logs at any given time is equal to GTID_SUBTRACT(@@global.gtid_executed, @@global.gtid_purged); that is, to all transactions in the binary log that have not yet been purged.

When the server starts, @@global.gtid_executed is initialized to the union of the following two sets:

Thereafter, GTIDs are added to the set as transactions are executed.

Issuing RESET MASTER causes the global value (but not the session value) of this variable to be reset to an empty string. GTIDs are not otherwise removed from this set other than when the set is cleared due to RESET MASTER. The set is also cleared if the server is shut down and all binary logs are removed.

Prior to MySQL 5.6.9, this variable was known as gtid_done.

gtid_lost

Obsolete: Replaced by gtid_purged in MySQL 5.6.9. (Bug #14775984)

gtid_mode

Shows whether GTIDs are enabled. Read-only; set using --gtid-mode.

gtid_next

This variable is used to specify whether and how the next GTID is obtained. gtid_next can take any of the following values:

You must have the SUPER privilege to set this variable. Setting this variable has no effect if gtid_mode is OFF.

In MySQL 5.6.11 only, you cannot execute any of the statements CHANGE MASTER TO, START SLAVE, STOP SLAVE, REPAIR TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE, ANALYZE TABLE, CHECK TABLE, CREATE SERVER, ALTER SERVER, DROP SERVER, CACHE INDEX, LOAD INDEX INTO CACHE, FLUSH, or RESET when gtid_next is set to any value other than AUTOMATIC; in such cases, the statement fails with an error. Such statements are not disallowed in MySQL 5.6.12 and later. (Bug #16062608, Bug #16715809, Bug #69045)

gtid_owned

This read-only variable holds a list whose contents depend on its scope. When used with session scope, the list holds all GTIDs that are owned by this client; when used with global scope, it holds a list of all GTIDs along with their owners.

gtid_purged

The set of all transactions that have been purged from the binary log.

When the server starts, the global value of gtid_purged is initialized to the set of GTIDs contained by the Previous_gtid_log_event of the oldest binary log. When a binary log is purged, @@global.gtid_purged is re-read from the binary log that has now become the oldest one.

Issuing RESET MASTER causes the value of this variable to be reset to an empty string.

Prior to MySQL 5.6.9, this variable was known as gtid_lost, and was read-only. In MySQL 5.6.9 and later, it is possible to update the value of this variable, but only by adding GTIDs to those already listed, and only when gtid_executed is unset—that is, on a new server. (Bug #14797808)
