Symptoms
On the import of objects to the MySQL database the following message may arise: “ERROR 1598 (HY000) at line 25: Binary logging not possible. Message: Transaction level 'READ-COMMITTED' in InnoDB is not safe for binlog mode 'STATEMENT'”.
Cause
The error arises when you try to load the data to the MySQL database. The error arises only if the binary logging option, which is required for the replication, is turned on for the MySQL server.
Solutions
There are several solutions for the issue:
-
You need to change the binlog mode to either ROW or MIXED in order to run the load of the data into the database
mysql> SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'ROW';
mysql> COMMIT;
-
If you are not planning to use your MySQL server for the replication consider turning the binary logging off by removing the option --log-bin from the command options for the mysqldutility starting the MySQL server.
