 You must use the replication filter to filter out Azure custom tables on the replica server. This can be achieved by setting Replicate_Wild_Ignore_Table = "mysql.\_\_%" to filter the Azure MySQL internal tables on the replica. To modify this parameter from the Azure portal, navigate to Azure Database for MySQL Flexible server and select "Server parameters" to view/edit the Replicate_Wild_Ignore_Table parameter.
