MariaDB Error 1279: SQL Thread UNTIL Ignored
Description
This error indicates that an `UNTIL` condition, specified for an SQL replication thread, is being ignored because the thread itself is not in a state where it can be started or needs to process events. It typically arises when attempting to control replication progress with `START SLAVE UNTIL ...` but the SQL thread is already stopped or configured not to run.
Error Message
SQL thread is not to be started so UNTIL options are ignored
Known Causes
3 known causesSQL Thread Not Intended to Start
The SQL replication thread is currently stopped or configured in a way that it is not expected to start, rendering any `UNTIL` conditions irrelevant.
Incorrect Replication State
The replication process is in a state where the SQL thread cannot be initiated with an `UNTIL` clause, often due to a previous `STOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD` or `STOP SLAVE` command.
Misconfigured Replica
The replica server's configuration, such as `skip_slave_start` or other replication-related parameters, might be preventing the SQL thread from activating as expected.
