Summary: mysql backend error: 1193, "Unknown system variable 'transaction_isolation'"MariaDB compatibility broken: "Unknown system variable 'transaction_isolation'"
Triage Stage: UnreviewedAccepted

The fix from #28794 fixes a deprecation warning in MySQL 5.7. It seems that MariaDB didn't make a similar change, or at least the version you're using didn't. Django doesn't officially support MariaDB but it likely practical to add a workaround here since it otherwise mostly works.

comment:4 by Gene Sem, 7 years ago

The bug exists with MariaDB versions: 10.0.31, 10.0.33 (latest), 10.1.28, 10.1.29 (latest).

comment:6 by Gene Sem, 7 years ago

After some debugging with MariaDB:

Function mysql_version() returned value is: 10.0.31 for MariaDB 10.0.31,
but actually it is equivalent of original mySQL 5.7.0

So transaction_isolation_variable() should return 'tx_isolation'
but returning 'transaction_isolation' which is error value for mariadb.

Dirty workaround:
File django/db/backends/mysql/base.py lines 234-236

    @cached_property
    def transaction_isolation_variable(self):
        return 'tx_isolation' if self.mysql_version < (5, 7, 20) or self.mysql_version > (10, 0, 10) else 'transaction_isolation'

We can use the SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL statement rather than the variable

As far as I see, we'd still need transaction_isolation/tx_isolation for the test which queries SELECT @@transaction_isolation. Did I miss something?

Replying to Tim Graham:

As far as I see, we'd still need transaction_isolation/tx_isolation for the test which queries SELECT @@transaction_isolation. Did I miss something?

That's was the reason why I didn't use SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL, but do we really need to test it?

We can test with show variables like 't%_isolation';, which on MySQL 5.7 will show:

+-----------------------+-----------------+
| Variable_name         | Value           |
+-----------------------+-----------------+
| transaction_isolation | REPEATABLE-READ |
| tx_isolation          | REPEATABLE-READ |
+-----------------------+-----------------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

And on earlier MySQL / MariaDB versions will return just the tx_isolation row.
