MySQL 1378

This error occurs when a log file is already in use and cannot be accessed. It is a MySQL 1378 error code and the literal message is "Logging is in progress, wait until it is finished before trying again".

How It Affects Your App

The impact of MySQL 1378 ER_LOG_IN_USE on an application is that it prevents the application from writing to the log file. This can cause the application to become unresponsive or crash, as it is unable to write to the log file. It can also lead to data loss, as the application is unable to record any changes or updates that have been made. This can be a major issue for applications that rely on logging for data integrity and security.
