MariaDB Error 1559: RBR Switch with Temp Tables
Description
This error occurs when attempting to switch out of the row-based binary log format (RBR) while the current database session has active temporary tables open. MariaDB prevents this change to maintain data consistency and replication integrity, requiring all temporary tables to be closed first.
Error Message
Cannot switch out of the row-based binary log format when the session has open temporary tables
Known Causes
3 known causesExplicit Temporary Tables
The current database session has explicitly created temporary tables using `CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE` statements that are still active.
Implicit Temp Table Usage
Complex SQL queries (e.g., `UNION`, subqueries, derived tables) implicitly create temporary tables that remain in use by the session.
Unclosed Session Activity
A long-running or improperly managed database session might retain temporary tables from previous operations, blocking the format change.
