MariaDB Error 1522: Invalid Partition State Definition
Description
This error indicates that the `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE` statement contains an invalid or unsupported definition for table partitioning. It occurs when the specified partition state or expression cannot be processed by MariaDB, preventing the table from being created or modified as intended.
Error Message
Partition state cannot be defined from CREATE/ALTER TABLE
Known Causes
4 known causesInvalid Partitioning Syntax
The `PARTITION BY` clause in your `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE` statement contains a syntax error or an incorrectly formatted expression.
Unsupported Partitioning Expression
You are attempting to use an expression or function for partitioning that is not supported by MariaDB or the chosen partitioning type (e.g., `RANGE`, `LIST`, `HASH`).
Data Type Mismatch in Partition Key
The data type of the column used as a partitioning key is incompatible with the chosen partitioning method, leading to an invalid partition state.
Conflicting Partition Definitions
When using `ALTER TABLE` to modify partitioning, the new definition conflicts with existing partitions, data, or the table's current structure.
