How It Affects Your App
MySQL 1553 ER_DROP_INDEX_FK error occurs when an index is dropped from a foreign key constraint. This can have a significant impact on the application as it can cause data integrity issues. Foreign keys are used to ensure data consistency and accuracy, so dropping an index from a foreign key constraint can lead to data inconsistency and incorrect data being stored in the database. This can lead to incorrect results being returned from queries and can cause the application to malfunction.
How To Fix
1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1553 instance to identify the root cause of the issue.
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error';
+---------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------+
| log_error | /var/lib/mysql/mysql-error.log |
+---------------+-----------------------------------------+
2. Check the error log for the MySQL 1553 instance to identify the root cause of the issue.
$ tail -f /var/lib/mysql/mysql-error.log
[ERROR] InnoDB: Unable to lock ./ibdata1, error: 11
[ERROR] InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process
[ERROR] InnoDB: using the same InnoDB data or log files.
3. Restart the MySQL 1553 instance to fix the issue.
$ sudo service mysql restart
4. Verify that the issue has been fixed.
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Innodb_row_lock%';
+--------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+-------+
| Innodb_row_lock_current | 0 |
| Innodb_row_lock_time | 0 |
| Innodb_row_lock_time_avg | 0 |
| Innodb_row_lock_time_max | 0 |
| Innodb_row_lock_waits | 0 |
+--------------------------+-------+
