MariaDB Error 1841: Cannot Set GTID_PURGED with Active Transactions

📦 MariaDB
📋

Description

This error occurs when you attempt to modify the `@@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED` variable in MariaDB while there are active transactions on the server. To maintain data consistency and the integrity of GTID-based replication, this critical variable can only be safely altered when the database is entirely idle.
💬

Error Message

@@GLOBAL.GTID_PURGED can only be set when there are no ongoing transactions (not even in other clients).
