Public bug reported: Per: http://www.tocker.ca/2014/08/14/set-global-sql_log_bin-we-need-your-feedback.html
Upstream MySQL is proposing to change the following syntax to produce an error in current GA releases (5.5 and 5.6): mysql> SET GLOBAL sql_log_bin = x; The rationale for this is: - The syntax will cause slaves to drift out of sync from masters. - The syntax has no known "correct" use. - The syntax is too close to SET sql_log_bin=x - which does have a correct use. - Since this command is often run interactively, it is too easy to incorrectly type the incorrect command (and destroy data). - Producing a warning instead of an error does not prevent accidental command typing. Upstream has a MicroReleaseException agreement in place with Ubuntu, and is requesting feedback before proceeding with making the change. ** Affects: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357003 Title: Upstream SET GLOBAL sql_log_bin incompatible change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1357003/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
