MariaDB Error 1788: Incorrect GTID_MODE Transition
Description
Error 1788 indicates an attempt to modify the global `GTID_MODE` system variable by more than one step at a time. MariaDB enforces a strict, sequential upgrade or downgrade path for GTID_MODE (OFF <-> UPGRADE_STEP_1 <-> UPGRADE_STEP_2 <-> ON) to ensure data consistency and proper replication during the transition. This error prevents direct jumps between non-adjacent states.
Error Message
The value of @@GLOBAL.GTID_MODE can only change one step at a time: OFF <-> UPGRADE_STEP_1 <-> UPGRADE_STEP_2 <-> ON. Also note that this value must be stepped up or down simultaneously on all servers; see the Manual for instructions.
Known Causes
3 known causesSkipping GTID_MODE steps
The `GTID_MODE` variable was set to a state that is not directly adjacent to its current value, bypassing the required intermediate upgrade or downgrade steps.
Direct State Jump
An attempt was made to directly set `GTID_MODE` from `OFF` to `ON` (or vice-versa), or to `UPGRADE_STEP_2` from `OFF`, without passing through `UPGRADE_STEP_1`.
Incorrect GTID upgrade procedure
The user or an automated process attempted to alter `GTID_MODE` without fully adhering to the documented multi-step procedure for enabling or disabling Global Transaction Identifiers.
