MariaDB Error 1466: Leading Spaces Removed from Name
Description
This error code indicates that MariaDB has automatically trimmed leading whitespace from an identifier (such as a table, column, or index name) provided in an SQL statement. It serves as a warning that the name you specified has been modified by the server. This typically occurs when creating or altering database objects with names that inadvertently begin with one or more space characters.

Known Causes
4 known causesAccidental Leading Whitespace
A common cause is a simple typographical error where a space character is inadvertently included at the beginning of an identifier when writing SQL statements manually.
Copy-Paste Inconsistencies
Copying object names or identifiers from external documents, editors, or applications can sometimes introduce leading whitespace that is not immediately visible.
Automated Script Generation
SQL generation tools, Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs), or custom scripts might unintentionally produce object names with leading spaces due to logic errors or misconfigurations.
Misunderstood Naming Rules
Developers might not be aware of MariaDB's automatic whitespace trimming behavior, expecting names to be preserved exactly as entered, including leading spaces.
