mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SELECT @@GTID_MODE': Unknown system variable 'GTID_MODE' (1193)
# This error is in part due to the introduction of Global Transaction Identifiers (GTIDs) in MySQL 5.6. GTIDs make it simple to # track and compare replication across a master-slave topology.
# mysqldump tries to query this system variable, which doesn’t exist in earlier versions, and then fails. The solution is to add # –set-gtid-purged=OFF in the mysqldump command. It should look something like
mysqldump -h dbHost -u dbuser dbName --set-gtid-purged=OFF
