 Repairing The Replication

Just to go sure, we stop the slave:

mysql> STOP SLAVE;

Fixing the problem is actually quite easy. We tell the slave to simply skip the invalid SQL query:

mysql> SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 1;

This tells the slave to skip one query (which is the invalid one that caused the replication to stop). If you'd like to skip two queries, you'd use SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = 2; instead and so on.

That's it already. Now we can start the slave again...

mysql> START SLAVE;

... and check if replication is working again:

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G
