Adding a new discovery to this topic: The replication error only occurs on one of the 2 slave servers. There is no difference between the two in configuration. Hardware-wise, there is only one difference: the server which has the problem has 1 gig of RAM, and the one that does not experience the problem has 2 gigs. This being the only difference, I can only guess that it is the source of the problem. The table is very large that I am dealing with - the physical size is just over 1 gig. My only guess would be perhaps it is trying to do a CREATE TABLE before the DROP completes.

I tested on 3.23.52 and DROP TABLE replicated fine for me. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Victoria Reznichenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net <___/ www.mysql.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
