MySQL 1668

This error occurs when a query exceeds the limit of the binlog_row_image setting, which is set to prevent unsafe queries from being logged.

How It Affects Your App

The impact of MySQL 1668 ER_BINLOG_UNSAFE_LIMIT on an application is that it prevents the application from writing to the binary log. This can cause the application to become unresponsive or crash, as it is unable to write to the log. It can also lead to data loss, as the application is unable to write any changes to the log. This can have a significant impact on the application, as it can lead to data corruption and other issues.
