@AL13N ... it affects scripts generated by an automatic maintenance tool.  The tool does updates to multiple tables in one transaction and does not check for the storage engine. It used to work, but now fails on schemas that have a mix of MyISAM and InnoDB tables. (simplifed explanation!)

I don't get this... if MyISAM is transaction-agnostic, why would you use it in
a transaction to begin with and even combined with a transactional database?

it seems to me that if you rely on something like this, one shouldn't use
MyISAM, or expect it to cope with this... (even though this example should be
safe), (well, because it's transaction-agnostic, one can't asume it uses the
same values when using transactional storage engines?

of course, i'm not an expert, so i probably get a wrong idea of the problem.

Is there some kind of example that _is_ unsafe somehow? wrt GTID being
conflicting? since you speak of GTID, i assume you mean the replication safety?
(ie: different results?)
