Repair Mysql Replication – Slave SQL Running NO

LinuxFault.com

if you have set up MySQL replication, you probably know this problem: sometimes there are invalid MySQL queries that cause the replication to not work anymore. In this short guide, I'll explain how you can repair the replication on the MySQL slave without the need to set it up from scratch again.

I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

1 Identifying The Problem

To find out whether replication is/is not working and what has caused to stop it, you can take a look at the logs. On Debian, for example, MySQL logs to /var/log/syslog:

grep mysql /var/log/syslog

server1:/home/admin# grep mysql /var/log/syslog
May 29 09:56:08 http2 mysqld[1380]: 080529 9:56:08 [ERROR] Slave: Error ‘Table ‘mydb.taggregate_temp_1212047760′ doesn’t exist’ on query. Default database: ‘mydb’. Query: ‘UPDATE thread AS thread,taggregate_temp_1212047760 AS aggregate
May 29 09:56:08 http2 mysqld[1380]: ^ISET thread.views = thread.views + aggregate.views
May 29 09:56:08 http2 mysqld[1380]: ^IWHERE thread.threadid = aggregate.threadid’, Error_code: 1146
May 29 09:56:08 http2 mysqld[1380]: 080529 9:56:08 [ERROR] Error running query, slave SQL thread aborted. Fix the problem, and restart the slave SQL thread with “SLAVE START”. We stopped at log ‘mysql-bin.001079’ position 203015142
server1:/home/admin#

You can see what query caused the error, and at what log position the replication stopped.

To verify that the replication is really not working, log in to MySQL:

mysql -u root -p

On the MySQL shell, run:

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G

If one of Slave_IO_Running or Slave_SQL_Running is set to No, then the replication is broken:

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G

2 Repairing The Replication

Just to go sure, we stop the slave:

mysql> STOP SLAVE;

Fixing the problem is actually quite easy. We tell the slave to simply skip the invalid SQL query:

mysql> SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 1;

This tells the slave to skip one query (which is the invalid one that caused the replication to stop). If you’d like to skip two queries, you’d use SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 2; instead and so on.

That’s it already. Now we can start the slave again…

mysql> START SLAVE;

… and check if replication is working again:

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************

mysql>

As you see, both Slave_IO_Running and Slave_SQL_Running are set to Yes now.

Now leave the MySQL shell…

mysql> quit;

… and check the log again:

grep mysql /var/log/syslog

server1:/home/admin# grep mysql /var/log/syslog
May 29 09:56:08 http2 mysqld[1380]: 080529 9:56:08 [ERROR] Slave: Error ‘Table ‘mydb.taggregate_temp_1212047760′ doesn’t exist’ on query. Default database: ‘mydb’. Query: ‘UPDATE thread AS thread,taggregate_temp_1212047760 AS aggregate
May 29 09:56:08 http2 mysqld[1380]: ^ISET thread.views = thread.views + aggregate.views

server1:/home/admin#

The last line says that replication has started again, and if you see no errors after that line, everything is ok.
