I'm able to reproduce on Linux so it's not related to Docker for Mac

And I don't see anything in the release notes that changed autocommit https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/8.0/en/news-8-0-28.html

[tianon]

I'm not sure what's broken, but looking at the details I'm actually a little surprised this ever worked? :grimacing: :sweat_smile:

I think most of the SQL snippets in our entrypoint script are implicitly assuming autocommit is enabled, so I don't doubt that there's something we need to change here.

[tianon]

I guess the simplest solution here would be to add an explicit SET autocommit=1; to all our hand-crafted SQL snippets?

[bromike]

We also noticed this issue while upgrading from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0. Since MySQL 5.7 is becoming deprecated in October 2023, this becomes a bigger concern.

[LaurentGoderre]

I'm reading the docs and maybe committing our custom SQL snippets manually might be a non-invasive way of doing it. Let me test it out.
