MySQL Error 1197: Binlog Cache Size Exceeded
Description
This error indicates that a multi-statement transaction attempted to store more data in the binary log cache than the 'max_binlog_cache_size' system variable allows. It commonly occurs during large data modification operations or complex transactions that generate extensive binary log entries.
Error Message
Multi-statement transaction required more than 'max_binlog_cache_size' bytes of storage; increase this mysqld variable and try again
Known Causes
3 known causesLarge Multi-Statement Transactions
A single transaction involves an exceptionally high number of DML (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) operations or complex DDL statements, producing extensive binary log data.
Insufficient `max_binlog_cache_size`
The configured `max_binlog_cache_size` variable is set too low to accommodate the typical or peak workload, especially when processing large data changes.
Unexpected Data Volume
An application or script executes a transaction that processes a significantly larger volume of data than anticipated, quickly exhausting the binlog cache limit.
