Bug#12818255: READ-ONLY OPTION DOES NOT ALLOW
INSERTS/UPDATES ON TEMPORARY TABLES Bug#14294223: CHANGES NOT ALLOWED TO TEMPORARY TABLES ON READ-ONLY SERVERS Problem: ======== Running 5.5.14 in read only we can create temporary tables but can not insert or update records in the table. When we try we get Error 1290 : The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot execute this statement. Analysis: ========= This bug is very specific to binlog being enabled and binlog-format being stmt/mixed. Standalone server without binlog enabled or with row based binlog-mode works fine. How standalone server and row based replication work: ===================================================== Standalone server and row based replication mark the transactions as read_write only when they are modifying non temporary tables as part of their current transaction. Because of this when code enters commit phase it checks if a transaction is read_write or not. If the transaction is read_write and global read only mode is enabled those transaction will fail with 'server is read only mode' error. In the case of statement based mode at the time of writing to binary log a binlog handler is created and it is always marked as read_write. In case of temporary tables even though the engine did not mark the transaction as read_write but the new transaction that is started by binlog handler is considered as read_write. Hence in this case when code enters commit phase it finds one handler which has a read_write transaction even when we are modifying temporary table. This causes the server to throw an error when global read-only mode is enabled. Fix: ==== At the time of commit in "ha_commit_trans" if a read_write transaction is found, we should check if this transaction is coming from a handler other than binlog_handler. This will ensure that there is a genuine read_write transaction being sent by the engine apart from binlog_handler and only then it should be blocked.
