How It Affects Your App
The error 1661 ER_BINLOG_ROW_ENGINE_AND_STMT_ENGINE indicates that the statement engine and the row engine used in the binary log are not the same. This can cause inconsistencies in the data stored in the database, which can lead to unexpected results when the application is running. This can cause the application to crash or malfunction, resulting in data loss or corruption. It can also lead to security issues, as the application may not be able to properly authenticate users or protect sensitive data.

5. Check the MySQL server variables to see if any of them are set incorrectly:
