MariaDB Error 1505: Partitioning Unpartitioned Tables
Description
This error occurs when you attempt to execute SQL commands designed for partition management on a table that has not been defined with a partitioning scheme. MariaDB strictly enforces that partition-specific operations, such as adding or dropping partitions, can only be applied to tables that are already partitioned.
Error Message
Partition management on a not partitioned table is not possible
Known Causes
3 known causesApplying Partition Commands to an Unpartitioned Table
You are attempting to execute `ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION`, `DROP PARTITION`, or similar statements on a table that was created without a `PARTITION BY` clause.
Incorrect Table Identification
The SQL statement might be targeting the wrong table, mistaking a non-partitioned table for one that is intended to be partitioned.
Schema Misconception
A misunderstanding of the table's schema leads to the assumption that it is partitioned when it was not explicitly defined as such.
