MySQL 1867

This error indicates that an attempt to purge binary logs failed because the log is in use. It is a warning that the purge operation was not successful.

How It Affects Your App

The impact of this error is that the application will not be able to purge the log files that are currently in use. This can lead to a buildup of log files, which can cause the application to become slow and unresponsive. Additionally, the application may not be able to access the data stored in the log files, which can lead to data loss or corruption. This can have a serious impact on the application's performance and reliability.
