High — transaction will be rejected; application must handle the error.

How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
START TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO t VALUES (1); CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp (id INT); COMMIT;

expected output

ERROR 3380 (HY000): Cannot create temporary table inside a transaction when GTID mode is enabled.

Fix

Separate temporary table creation from DML transactions

Separate temporary table creation from DML transactions
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp (id INT); START TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO t VALUES (1); COMMIT;
