Google Cloud Database

Hello!

I had this error and before it I’d loaded several tables without any problems. What might be a cause of it?

This error message indicates that Google Cloud’s Datastream service is having trouble reading the binary log file from your MySQL database

ere are a few potential reasons for this issue:

  1. File Corruption: The binary log file “mysql-bin.038513” might be corrupted. This could happen due to various reasons such as a system crash, hardware failure, or a bug in MySQL.

  2. File Deletion or Renaming: If the binary log file was deleted or renamed, Datastream would not be able to find and read it.

  3. Insufficient Permissions: Datastream might not have the necessary permissions to read the binary log file.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Check the Integrity of the Binary Log File: You can use the mysqlbinlog utility to read the binary log file and check if it’s corrupted. If the file is corrupted, you might need to restore it from a backup.

  2. Check the Existence of the Binary Log File: Ensure that the binary log file “mysql-bin.038513” exists in the location where MySQL is trying to read it from.

  3. Check Permissions: Make sure that Datastream has the necessary permissions to read the binary log file. The MySQL user that Datastream uses to connect to your database should have the REPLICATION CLIENT privilege.
