MySQL error 1180 appears when the server encounters a lower-level failure while finalising a COMMIT, leaving the transaction partially applied or fully rolled back.
MySQL Error 1180: ER_ERROR_DURING_COMMIT occurs when MySQL encounters a storage, engine, or replication fault while finishing a COMMIT statement. Check the error log for the real sub-error, fix the underlying issue (disk space, engine crash, replication lag), then retry or roll back the transaction.
Got error %d during COMMIT
The message "Got error %d during COMMIT" means MySQL tried to persist a transactional change but hit an unexpected engine or server failure. The server aborts the commit, rolls back, and raises error 1180 to the client.
This error is critical because it jeopardises data durability and consistency.
Ignoring it can leave your application in an uncertain state, potentially duplicating or losing data.
Error 1180 is always a symptom of another problem: a storage engine crash, a full disk, a corrupted write-ahead log, an abrupt replica disconnection, or OS-level I/O failures.
MySQL surfaces only the placeholder %d while the real error code appears in the error log.
InnoDB usually reports a secondary code such as 1114 (ER_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES) or 1505 (foreign-key violation) that helps pinpoint the failing layer.
First, query SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS and tail the MySQL error log to extract the real sub-error. Next, address that root cause: free disk space, repair tables, restart a crashed storage engine, or resolve replication lag.
Finally, retry the transaction or re-import the data in a new session.
If the database stays read-only after the crash, set innodb_force_recovery to 1-6 temporarily, export data, and rebuild the instance.
Disk full triggers error 28 during COMMIT. Free space and expand the partition, then restart MySQL.
Replication lag may surface as "Got error 1590 during COMMIT" on the replica. Re-sync the replica with CHANGE MASTER TO ...
and START SLAVE.
Monitor disk utilisation, I/O latency, and InnoDB crash recovery metrics. Enable binary logging and point-in-time backups so you can replay lost commits.
Use small, idempotent transactions to minimise the blast radius of a failed COMMIT.
Error 1213 (deadlock) aborts a transaction before COMMIT, while error 1205 (lock wait timeout) cancels it earlier. Both differ from 1180 because the engine fails safe without I/O issues.
Resolve them with retry logic rather than storage repair.
.
If MySQL returns error 1180, the commit did not succeed. Check the table manually or rely on application-side retry logic.
No. The error indicates a serious persistence problem. Investigate the error log and fix the root cause before proceeding.
In most cases InnoDB rolls back the transaction, preserving consistency. However, repeated crashes can lead to corruption; always take backups after recovery.
Galaxy’s SQL editor surfaces real-time execution logs and auto-saves queries, so teams can quickly diagnose failures and rerun smaller, idempotent transactions, reducing the risk of unrecoverable commits.
