Problem
We want to allow employees to query for production table metadata by allowing them to make raw queries on a restricted connection. One of the statements they have been using is
DESCRIBE
orDESC
which are aliases forEXPLAIN
. However, when the mysql connection configuration usesreplica: true
then this results in aActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError
Solution
I've added
:describe
and:desc
to the read-only query whitelist for mysql.
