MariaDB Error 1344: Incomplete Parameter Definition
Description
This error indicates that MariaDB encountered an incomplete or malformed parameter definition while parsing configuration files, command-line arguments, or other input sources. It occurs when the parser reaches an unexpected end of the input stream before it can fully process or skip a parameter it doesn't recognize, particularly when it's attempting to skip an 'unknown parameter'.
Error Message
Unexpected end of file while skipping unknown parameter '%s'
Known Causes
3 known causesIncomplete Configuration Entry
A configuration file (e.g., my.cnf) contains a parameter definition that is truncated, improperly terminated, or has a missing value, causing an unexpected end of file during parsing.
Malformed Command-Line Argument
When MariaDB is started, a command-line argument for an unknown parameter is syntactically incorrect, truncated, or lacks a complete value, leading to a premature end of input.
Corrupted Input Stream or File
The file or stream from which MariaDB is reading parameters (e.g., a temporary script or input pipe) is corrupted or abruptly ends, preventing the parser from completing its read operation.
