Introduction to MySQL Database Migration

一言难尽。 Hey re, folks! If you're looking to move your MySQL database to a new server or version, you've come to right place. Database migration is a critical process that requires careful planning and execution. One of most crucial aspects of this process is ensuring that your migration logs are synchronized properly. In this article, we'll dive into nitty-gritty of syncing MySQL database migration logs.

Understanding Binlog Format

When you're upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0, you'll notice that default binlog_format behavior has changed. In 5.7, it's usually STATEMENT or MIXED, but in 8.0, it's recommended to use ROW. If you don't switch to new format, you might encounter some issues with replication. For example, you might get an error like "Cannot execute statement: binlogging of stored functions and triggers is not allowed" on query.，内卷...

The Lifespan of Log Files

Remember, log files are not just static backups. They're involved in multiple stages, including backup, transfer, recovery, and replication. One of most overlooked steps is manually checking relay-log directory after migration. Even a simple command like ls -lt | head -5 can save you from hours of troubleshooting later on.

SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'ROW';
SET GLOBAL binlog_row_image = 'FULL';
FLUSH LOGS;

mysqldump and GTID Consistency

When using mysqldump --single-transaction to backup your database, if you also enable GTID, you might overlook impact of --set-gtid-purged=ON option. This option writes a SET @@_PURGED='...'; statement to dump file header. If target instance already has or GTID records, this statement will fail with an error like "Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails".，礼貌吗？

Handling GTID Replication Issues

With gtid_mode=ON, replication no longer depends on binlog filename + position. Instead, it relies on Executed_Gtid_Set and Retrieved_Gtid_Set to align. If re's a network glitch or slave is down for too long, master's binlog might be purged, causing slave to fall behind. The error message you'll see is something like "The slave is connecting using CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_AUTO_POSITION = 1, but master has purged binary logs containing GTIDs that slave requires".，等着瞧。

Dealing with Relay-log Files

After switching master and slave roles, old master might still have some leftover relay-log files, but relay_log_index file might be empty or pointing to wrong location. Running RESET SLAVE usually clear 来一波... s metadata, but physical files won't be deleted automatically. This can lead to slow disk space growth and may cause an error like "Failed to open relay log index file" when starting replication next time.
