MySQL 1184: Cannot use SAVEPOINT in transaction.

When encountering the error "1184: Cannot use SAVEPOINT in a transaction" in MySQL, you should immediately take the following actions:

  1. Identify the Current Transaction State:


- Run `SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;` to check the latest transactions and their states. This can help identify if there are nested transactions or any anomalies in transaction handling.

  1. Check Active Transactions:


- Execute `SELECT * FROM informationschema.innodbtrx;` to see all current InnoDB transactions. This will help you understand if your SAVEPOINT is being issued in an unexpected transaction context.

  1. Review the Code or Query Causing the Error:


- Locate the specific part of your application code or script that is attempting to create a SAVEPOINT. Ensure it's not nested within another transaction in a way that MySQL does not support.

  1. Manual Rollback If Needed:


- If you find the transaction should not proceed, consider manually rolling back to release locks and resources. Use `ROLLBACK;` to undo the transaction, or `ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT savepoint_name;` if you're attempting to rollback to a specific savepoint (assuming the savepoint was successfully set before the error occurred).

  1. Check MySQL Documentation for SAVEPOINT Limitations:


- Quickly review the MySQL documentation relevant to your version to ensure there's no misunderstood usage of SAVEPOINT that's causing the issue.

  1. Monitor Database Performance Metrics:


- If possible, check the database's performance metrics for any signs of locking or resource contention issues that might be affecting transactions.

  1. Examine Application Logs:


- Look into the application logs for any preceding errors or warnings that might have contributed to this error, focusing on transaction handling.

These actions are aimed at diagnosing and potentially resolving the immediate issue with SAVEPOINT in your MySQL database transactions.
