MariaDB Error 1277: Invalid START SLAVE UNTIL Parameters
Description
MariaDB Error 1277 occurs when the `START SLAVE UNTIL` command is executed with parameters that are either syntactically incorrect, out of range, or incompatible with each other. This error indicates that the database server cannot parse or execute the specified conditions for stopping replication.
Error Message
Incorrect parameter or combination of parameters for START SLAVE UNTIL
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect Syntax for UNTIL Clause
The `UNTIL` clause for `START SLAVE` has specific syntax requirements for `MASTER_LOG_FILE`, `MASTER_LOG_POS`, `SQL_AFTER_MTS_GAPS`, or `SQL_AFTER_GTIDS`. Misspellings, incorrect formatting, or improper quoting will trigger this error.
Invalid Parameter Values
The values provided for parameters like `MASTER_LOG_POS` (e.g., non-numeric, negative) or `MASTER_LOG_FILE` (e.g., non-existent file path, invalid characters) are not acceptable for their respective types.
Incompatible Parameter Combination
Attempting to use parameters that are mutually exclusive or cannot be combined within the `UNTIL` clause, such as specifying both `MASTER_LOG_FILE`/`MASTER_LOG_POS` and `SQL_AFTER_MTS_GAPS` which serve different stopping mechanisms.
Missing Required Parameters
When using the `UNTIL` clause without `SQL_AFTER_MTS_GAPS` or `SQL_AFTER_GTIDS`, both `MASTER_LOG_FILE` and `MASTER_LOG_POS` must be specified. Omitting one of these will result in an incomplete or incorrect parameter set.
