Description:
slave tries to rollback statements against the wrong table, if temporary table with same name was dropped and statement was rolled back.

[ERROR] Slave SQL: Column 0 of table 'test.t3' cannot be converted from type 'tinyint' to type 'longblob', Error_code: 1677
[ERROR] Error running query, slave SQL thread aborted. Fix the problem, and restart the slave SQL thread with "SLAVE START". We stopped at log

5.1.49 didn't break here.

How to repeat:
#setup a master/slave pair, with master --binlog-format=mixed
#on master run this:

drop table if exists t3;
create table t3(a tinyint)engine=myisam;
drop temporary table if exists t3;
create temporary table t3(a longblob)engine=innodb;
start transaction;
drop temporary table if exists t3;
replace into t3 set a=1;
rollback;

Suggested fix:
workaround: use --binlog-format=row

Find below another test case:

--source include/master-slave.inc
--source include/have_innodb.inc
--source include/have_binlog_format_mixed_or_statement.inc

drop table if exists t3;
create table t3(a tinyint)engine=myisam;
drop temporary table if exists t3;
create temporary table t3(a longblob)engine=innodb;
start transaction;
drop temporary table if exists t3;
replace into t3 set a=1;
rollback;

SHOW BINLOG EVENTS;

SELECT * FROM t3;

--sync_slave_with_master

SELECT * FROM t3;

exit;

In this bug, the slave goes out of sync because the "replace into t3 set a=1;" is written directly to the binary log as a regular non-transactional table is
updated. However, outside the transaction boundaries there is a temporary table
with the same name. Thus the regular t3 table is updated in the master and, in the temporary table t3 is updated in the slave.

The error happens either when the logging format is statement or mixed. In row, as changes to temporary tables are not written to the binary log, the error does not happen.

Verified that slave goes out of sync with the last test case:

Suggested fix:
--------------

If we consider this a replication bug rather than a server bug. I think we should append to binary log event the type of table that must be updated on the slave, i.e. either temporary or regular.

The same solution could be applied to BUG#55478.
[5 Aug 2010 4:03] Zhenxing He
Because updates to temporary table would never be binlogged in ROW format, so I think the solution could be always ignore temporary tables when applying ROW events on slave.
[18 Oct 2010 4:04] Libing Song
The patch for bug#55478 will fix this bug on RBR.
[19 Oct 2010 9:10] Lars Thalmann
The problem in the described situation is not that MIXED or some other
format is used, it is rather that the option
binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates is used.

This option causes data changes to be logged immediately.  If there is
a DROP TEMPORARY TABLE *inside* a transaction, changes to this
temporary table can be logged before the drop if the option is used.

In the general case, binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates is not
recommended.  For this particular setup, we need to investigate if it
can be differently configured.

 | MIXED         | slave DIVERGES | OK  |
 | ROW           | OK             | OK  |

Workarounds
===========

W1. Disable the binlog-direct-non-transactional-updates when issuing a
    transaction with such profile and logging in statement. For
    example:

    (...)    
    +SET SESSION binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates=0;
    start transaction;
    drop temporary table if exists t3; 
    replace into t3 set a=1;
    rollback;
    +SET SESSION binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates=1;
    (...)

W2. Move the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE outside of the transaction. For
    example:

    (...)
    +drop temporary table if exists t3;
    start transaction;
    -drop temporary table if exists t3;
    replace into t3 set a=1;
    rollback;
    (...)
W3. Use row format.
   
    - Temporary tables are not logged in row mode, thence do not
      interfere with replication at the slave.
    - Additionally, see the outcome of the test case in the results
      section above.

In my previous comment, in the results section:

slave updates WRONG TABLE => slave BREAKS

"Column 0 of table 'test.t3' cannot be converted from type 'tinyint' to type 'longblob'"
[8 Nov 2010 14:05] Andrei Elkin
This one must be a dup of bug#55478 (which page comments suggests the same).
[17 Jan 2011 17:21] Alfranio Tavares Correia Junior
We have decided to close this bug as duplicate of BUG#55478, as the scenario reported by "[3 Aug 2010 12:06] Shane Bester", i.e.

  . binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates = OFF
  . mixed mode;

is already fixed in BUG#55478. However, we have filed BUG#59561 to keep track of the following scenario:

  . binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates = ON
  . statement or mixed mode.

Cheers.
