【 TiDB Environment 】Development environment (TiDB is running in Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64 (Py3.7.8) environment)
【 TiDB Version 】v7.2.0
【 SQLyog Version 】v12.14
【 Reproduction Process 】

  1. First, export the existing data table
    1

  2. The exported SQL file code is as follows:

CREATE DATABASE `my_db_test`;
USE `my_db_test`;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `system`;
CREATE TABLE `system` (
  `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL /*T![auto_rand] AUTO_RANDOM(5) */ COMMENT 'id',
  `name` varchar(100) NOT NULL COMMENT 'system name',
  `code` varchar(50) NOT NULL COMMENT 'system identifier',
  `url` varchar(240) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'pc website',
  `wap_url` varchar(240) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'mobile website',
  `description` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'system description',
  `status` smallint(6) NOT NULL COMMENT 'system status 1 normal, 2 closed',
  `err_info` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'status description, explained here when system status is 2',
  `create_at` bigint(20) DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'creation time',
  `update_at` bigint(20) DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'update time',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`) /*T![clustered_index] CLUSTERED */,
  UNIQUE KEY `uniq_system_name_idx` (`name`),
  UNIQUE KEY `uniq_system_code_idx` (`code`),
  KEY `key_system_create_at_idx` (`create_at`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin /*T![auto_rand_base] AUTO_RANDOM_BASE=30001 */ COMMENT='system table';

insert into `system`(`id`,`name`,`code`,`url`,`wap_url`,`description`,`status`,`err_info`,`create_at`,`update_at`) values 
(864691128455135233,'system1','aa1','http://aa.aa1.com',NULL,'',1,'',1678559006,1682836025),
(1152921504606846978,'system2','aa2','http://aa.aa2.com',NULL,'',1,NULL,1684570450,1684570450),
(4611686018427387911,'system3','aa3','http://aa.aa3.com',NULL,'',1,NULL,0,0),
(5188146770730811396,'system4','aa4','http://aa.aa4.com',NULL,'',1,'',1678558726,1682835989),
(5764607523034234886,'system5','aa5','http://aa.aa5.com',NULL,'',1,'',1678559039,1682836014),
(8358680908399640579,'system6','aa6','http://aa.aa6.com',NULL,'',1,'normal',1683995048,1684424721),
(8358680908399640581,'system7','aa7','http://aa.aa7.com',NULL,'',1,NULL,1684570340,1684570340);
  1. Run the above code to restore the data, and the following error occurs
Error Code: 8216
Invalid auto random: Explicit insertion on auto_random column is disabled. Try to set @@allow_auto_random_explicit_insert = true.
  1. If you use Navicat to export and then import, the problem mentioned in this post will occur

Can’t commonly used tools perform backup and restore for TiDB?

The issue is that when the id column is set with the AUTO_RANDOM parameter, it cannot recognize externally input id values. Databases like MySQL and MongoDB also have auto-increment parameters, but they don’t encounter this problem. Shouldn’t the official team address this? This issue significantly affects the user experience.

You can take a look at this document written by @啦啦啦啦啦:

The issue with third-party tools is actually unrelated to TiDB.

You can make suggestions to the tool provider~

It is recommended to use BR for backup and recovery.

Just set the global allow_auto_random_explicit_insert = true. TiDB has already provided the parameter, just set it and you’re good to go. What else is there to solve? :rofl:

If the data volume is not particularly large, isn’t it better to use dumpling + lightning for backup and recovery? :kissing_heart:

This cannot be fixed.

SET GLOBAL allow_auto_random_explicit_insert=TRUE;
That’s it.

Just use your method.
