MariaDB Error 1498: Incomplete Partition Definition
Description
This error occurs when attempting to create or alter a table using a partitioned storage engine, but the partitioning scheme is incomplete. It indicates that MariaDB requires all possible values or ranges for the chosen partitioning type (e.g., RANGE, LIST) to be explicitly defined, and some are missing.
Error Message
For the partitioned engine it is necessary to define all %s
Known Causes
4 known causesMissing MAXVALUE Partition
When using `RANGE` partitioning, the final partition must explicitly cover all remaining values using `VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE)`.
Undefined LIST Values
For `LIST` partitioning, you must explicitly enumerate all anticipated discrete values for the partitioning column across all defined partitions.
Missing DEFAULT Partition for LIST
If not all possible values are explicitly listed in `LIST` partitions, a `DEFAULT` partition is required to handle unspecified values.
Mismatched Partitioning Expression
The partitioning expression used might not correctly align with the defined partitions, leaving some data ranges or values uncovered.
