MySQL 1186

This error occurs when a FLUSH MASTER BINLOG command is issued and the binary log is closed. It indicates that the command cannot be executed.

How It Affects Your App

MySQL 1186 ER_FLUSH_MASTER_BINLOG_CLOSED can have a significant impact on an application. It indicates that the master binary log is closed, which means that any changes made to the database will not be recorded. This can lead to data loss and inconsistency, as changes made to the database will not be reflected in the application. Furthermore, it can cause the application to become unstable and unreliable, as the data stored in the database may not be up to date.

How To Fix

1. Identify the cause of the MySQL 1186 error:
SELECT * FROM table_name;
ERROR 1186 (HY000): Unknown table 'table_name'
2. Create the table in the database:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
3. Insert data into the table:
INSERT INTO table_name (name) VALUES ('John');
4. Retry the query:
SELECT * FROM table_name;
5. Recommend using an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix MySQL 1186 errors. Automated database observability tools can detect and alert on MySQL 1186 errors, as well as provide detailed insights into the root cause of the error. This can help to quickly identify and fix the issue, as well as prevent similar errors from occurring in the future.
