MariaDB Error 1504: Invalid Zero Partition Count
Description
MariaDB Error 1504, symbolized as `ER_NO_PARTS_ERROR`, indicates that a Data Definition Language (DDL) statement, typically `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE`, attempted to define a component (like partitions or subpartitions) with a count of zero. This value is not allowed as it contradicts the requirement for a positive number of parts.
Error Message
Number of %s = 0 is not an allowed value
Known Causes
3 known causesExplicit Zero Partitions
The `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE` statement explicitly specified `PARTITIONS 0`, which is an invalid value for a partitioned table.
Invalid Subpartition Definition
A subpartitioning scheme was defined in a way that implicitly or explicitly resulted in zero subpartitions for a given partition, which is not allowed.
Variable Resolving to Zero
A variable or expression used to define the number of partitions or subpartitions evaluated to zero, causing the database to reject the table definition.
