Category:MySQL Server: Row Based Replication ( RBR ) Severity:S3 (Non-critical)
Version:5.1 OS:Any

Description:
When replaying a binary log with mysqlbinlog, RBR events may not be executed if --replicate-do-db option is specified. If the event isn't for a database mentioned by this option, the event will not be executed.

Statement-based events are unaffected.

Workaround is to temporarily disable --replicate-do-db option.

How to repeat:
[mysqld]
basedir = /usr/local/mysql
datadir = /usr/local/mysql/data
user = mysql
server-id = 1
log-bin = mysql-bin
binlog-format = row
replicate-do-db = junk

----------------

mysql> CREATE TABLE t (id INT);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO t VALUES (1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM t;
+------+
| id   |
+------+
|    1 | 
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

##########
SHELL> mysqldump -u root test > /tmp/test.sql
##########

mysql> SHOW MASTER STATUS;

+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM t;

+------+
|    1 | 
|    2 | 
+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I don't see this as a bug (please inform me if anyone disagrees :).

The following should be documented:
1. RBR events are filtered on "actual" db, not "used"
2. Filters are in effect also for BINLOG statements.
[13 May 2008 19:30] Mats Kindahl
There seem to be some misunderstanding of what the issue is about. First, row-based replication filters on the actual table affected and this is clearly documented in the reference manual, but this is not the issue.

The replicate-do-db and replication-ignore-db flags, as well as the other replicate-* options, are effective for the replication, i.e., effective when the changes come via the slave threads, and filters changes for databases or tables out from the changes received from the *master*. This is documented "everywhere" in the manual and is not something that we should change.

When using mysqlbinlog to read a binary log with query log events only, we construct a sequence of SQL statements that can be fed to a server through a normal client thread. However, for all practical purposes, there is nothing specific with that SQL which means that it could not have been written by a normal user, i.e., not from the master. For that reason, it cannot be expected that a normal client thread should treat the output from mysqlbinlog as "master enchanted" SQL code and filter it as if it was sent from a master, simply because it cannot know that it is coming from a master.

And then comes the BINLOG statement. For all practical purposes, it is "just" SQL code in a special form, and for the same reason as above, we should not apply "master filtering rules" because we cannot know that it comes from a master and therefore it is unreasonable to expect it to filter the BINLOG statement as if it came from a slave thread when executed on a normal client thread.

I agree with the triage classification: particularly, I consider the workaround of disabling --replicate-do-db unacceptable since it requires stopping and starting the server.
[15 May 2008 16:11] Lars Thalmann
So, I think there are two possible solutions:

1. Document that --replicate-do-db affect BINLOG statements.
2. Make client thread not check --replicate-do-db conditions.

I can agree with Mats that 1 is not the best solution, so lets aim for
solution 2.

      Bug #36099  replicate-do-db affects replaying RBR events with mysqlbinlog
      
      The bug is about to refuse execution of a BINLOG pseudo-query on the server.
      The reason of the bug appeared to be an inappropiate applying the replication slave side
      filtering rules.
      The rules are supposed to be active only at times when the slave's sql thread executes an
      event.
      
      Fixed with correcting a condition to call replication rules only if the slave sql thread
      executes the event.

Documented in the 5.1.29 changelog as follows:

        Replication filtering rules were inappropiately applied when executing
        BINLOG pseudo-queries. One way in which this problem showed itself was
        that, when replaying a binary log with mysqlbinlog, RBR events were
        sometimes not executed if --replicate-do-db option was specified. Now
        replication rules are applied only if the slave SQL thread executes the
        event.
