I just tried adding binary logging to my mySQL "my.ini" file with the intention of being able to do incremental backups. However, I immediately provoked an error

Binary logging not possible. Message: Transaction level 'READ-COMMITTED' in InnoDB is not safe for binlog mode 'STATEMENT'

CF 9.01, mySQL 5.1, on an Win XP development machine.

I thought it was a problem with cftransaction, but I get the same error in a simple test update with nothing else on the page

<cfquery datasource='mySQLdata'>        
    UPDATE patients
    SET patientTitle='Mr.',
    patientFirstname='Peter',
    patientLastname='Smith'
    WHERE nhsNumber=7777777777  
</cfquery>

My "my.ini" file (all except last line generated from the wizard)

[client]
port=3306

[mysql]
default-character-set=latin1

[mysqld]

port=3306
basedir="F:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/"
datadir="C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.1/Data/"
default-character-set=latin1

log-bin = c:/binlogs

If I take out my

log-bin=c:/binlogs

line all works again. What's going on?

  • I can not get the error by adding binlog-format = row or binlog-format = mixed but despite reading the documentation I'm not sure which is the most appropriate? – Saul Aug 31 '10 at 08:31

This is a bug in MySQL. Looks like it has been fixed. You can upgrade or there looks to be a workaround by switching the installation to mixed mode:

  • That relates to the same error message with occuring but with binlog off. I am trying to set binlog on – Saul Aug 31 '10 at 08:24
  • Maybe it has nothing to do with binlog. Have you tried their workaround or upgrading? – ryber Sep 01 '10 at 00:22
