MariaDB Error 1250: Illegal Table Reference in Subquery
Description
This error indicates that a table referenced within a `SELECT` subquery cannot be used in the context of the outer query, often due to a self-referencing conflict. It commonly occurs when an `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statement attempts to modify a table that is simultaneously being read in a subquery.
Error Message
Table '%s' from one of the SELECTs cannot be used in %s
Known Causes
3 known causesModifying Table Referenced in Subquery
An `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statement attempts to modify a table that is simultaneously referenced in a subquery within the same statement, leading to a conflict.
Invalid Derived Table or View Usage
The query uses a derived table (subquery in `FROM`) or a view in a way that violates MariaDB's rules for referencing or modifying the underlying data.
Self-Referencing Subquery in SET Clause
An `UPDATE` statement's `SET` clause contains a subquery that attempts to read from the same table being updated, which is often disallowed directly.
