MariaDB Error 1511: Invalid REORGANIZE PARTITION Usage
Description
This error occurs when attempting to use the `ALTER TABLE ... REORGANIZE PARTITION` statement without specifying any partition parameters. MariaDB restricts this parameter-less syntax exclusively to tables that are automatically partitioned using a `HASH PARTITION` scheme, indicating an incorrect usage for other partition types or manually defined partitions.
Error Message
REORGANIZE PARTITION without parameters can only be used on auto-partitioned tables using HASH PARTITIONs
Known Causes
3 known causesTable Not Auto-Partitioned
The target table is not configured to use MariaDB's automatic partitioning feature, which is a prerequisite for the parameter-less `REORGANIZE PARTITION` syntax.
Incorrect Partitioning Type
Even if the table is partitioned, it does not utilize the `HASH PARTITION` method, which is the only type compatible with `REORGANIZE PARTITION` without explicit parameters.
Manually Defined Partitions
The table's partitions were explicitly defined by the user (e.g., `RANGE`, `LIST`), rather than relying on an auto-partitioning `HASH` scheme.
