## Possible Causes and Solutions

Prior to the introduction of this error, there were multiple error codes reported for the issue 'Can't execute init\_slave query'. Those errors are the underlying reason the init\_slave query cannot be executed, but this made it difficult to detect the issue in an automated way.

This error code, ER\_INIT\_SLAVE\_ERROR, unifies all the errors related to the init\_slave query. The ER\_INIT\_SLAVE\_ERROR error is raised for any issue related to the init\_slave query, and the underlying error code and message are included in the Last\_SQL\_Error field. See those specific errors for more details.
