MariaDB Error 1028: Sort Operation Aborted
Description
Error 1028, 'Sort aborted', indicates that a sorting operation initiated by a query or an internal database process could not complete successfully. This typically occurs when the database runs out of essential resources, such as memory or temporary disk space, while attempting to sort a large result set or perform complex joins.
Error Message
Sort aborted
Known Causes
3 known causesInsufficient Sort Buffer Memory
The configured `sort_buffer_size` in MariaDB or the server's available RAM is inadequate to handle the memory requirements of the sorting operation.
Insufficient Temporary Disk Space
The disk partition designated for temporary files (e.g., `tmpdir`) has run out of available space, preventing MariaDB from completing large sorts that spill to disk.
Very Large Result Sets
Queries attempting to sort an extremely large number of rows, especially without appropriate indexing, can exhaust the available system resources.
