Variable 'sql_mode' can't be set to the value of 'NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER'

Question

I am using MySQL Workbench 8.0. I am trying to dump test data to DB including all the tables, stored procedures and views with data.

When I try to import it's says import finished with one error and the error is

Variable 'sql_mode' can't be set to the value of 'NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER' Operation failed with exitcode 1

Also after importing if I check the database, only tables have come but there are no stored procedures at all.

How would one fix this?

Answer 1

I recently had this problem as well after exporting my database from MySQL Workbench 6.1 CE and then trying to import it into a newer version of MySQL WorkBench 8.0.11. Each were installed with the community server installer msi.

After doing some searching I came across this bug report on the MySQL website: Restaure dump created with 5.7.22 on 8.0.11

What fix worked for me was to go through my dump file manually and remove the statements:

'NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER' which are located above each of your routine dumps within the dump file. Statement to remove image example

After I did this I received the error

ERROR 1418 (HY000) at line 318: This function has none of DETERMINISTIC, NO SQL, or READS SQL DATA in its declaration and binary logging is enabled (you might want to use the less safe log_bin_trust_function_creators variable)

But after referring to this answered question: This function has none of DETERMINISTIC, NO SQL, or READS SQL DATA in its declaration and binary logging is enabled and simply entering:

SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;

in the MySQL command line client solved that issue and finally allowed me to properly import my database with all the dumped tables, data, routines, and functions.

Hopefully this saves others some time.

Answer 2

I found a workaround, if not the solution. Use Linux to get the sed utility, and run the two sed commands as mentioned in my previous comment. Also, I needed to use the mysqldump option: --set-gtid-purged=OFF
