MySQL 1183: Command not allowed in transaction.

When encountering the error `1183: Command not allowed in transaction` in MySQL, immediately check for the following:

  1. Identify the Command Causing the Error: Review the SQL statements being executed in your transaction. Look for commands that are not transaction-safe, such as `LOCK TABLES`, `UNLOCK TABLES`, or any administrative command like `ALTER TABLE`, `DROP DATABASE`, etc.



  1. Transaction Isolation Level: Check your current transaction isolation level by executing:


SELECT @@transaction_isolation;
Adjust it if necessary, considering the operation you're trying to perform is compatible with the isolation level.

  1. Review Open Transactions: Check for any open transactions that might be conflicting with your command. Use:


SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;
Look under the `TRANSACTIONS` section for any transactions that are not committed or rolled back.

  1. Binary Logging Format: If you're replicating, ensure that your binary logging format is set to `ROW` or `MIXED` if you're performing operations that might not be supported under `STATEMENT` mode. Check the current format by:


SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'binlog_format';
If necessary and possible, switch to `ROW` format by executing:
SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'ROW';
Note: Changing the binary log format requires appropriate permissions and might affect replication, so proceed with caution and preferably during a maintenance window.

  1. Execute the Command Outside the Transaction: If the command is not supported within a transaction, execute it outside of any `BEGIN` and `COMMIT` statements. Ensure all other transactions are committed or rolled back before doing so.



  1. Error Log: Check the MySQL error log for any additional messages related to this error. The location of the log file can be found by executing:


SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error';
Review the log entries around the time the error occurred for more context on the issue.

  1. Consult Documentation: As a last resort, consult the MySQL documentation for the specific version you're using to ensure the command you're trying to execute is supported within transactions for that version.



Execute these steps systematically to diagnose and resolve the `1183: Command not allowed in transaction` error.
