MySQL 1609

This error occurs when a FORMAT_DESCRIPTION_EVENT is not found before a BINLOG_STATEMENT_EVENT in a MySQL binary log.

How It Affects Your App

This error indicates that the application is attempting to execute a statement that is not supported by the version of MySQL being used. This can cause the application to fail or produce unexpected results. It can also lead to data corruption or loss of data if the statement is not properly handled. This can have a significant impact on the application, as it may not be able to function properly or provide the expected results.
