It may not have an impact on you, but be aware of this severe (imho) bug that caused read_pnly to be ignored regardless of running transactions in version 5.5.8. See bug#58669 and others. We upgraded to 5.5.17 where the bug was fixed.

But when I try to set "SET GLOBAL read_only = ON;" It brake running transaction. -- Viacheslav Biriukov BR The information contained in this e-mail and any attached documents may be privileged, confidential and protected from disclosure.
