MariaDB Error 1572: Incompatible Engine Partitioning
Description
This error occurs when attempting to create or alter a partitioned table using a storage engine that does not support table partitioning. MariaDB requires specific engines, like InnoDB or MyISAM, for partitioned tables, while others, such as MEMORY or CSV, are incompatible with this feature. Encountering this error means your database operation cannot proceed as configured.
Error Message
Engine cannot be used in partitioned tables
Known Causes
3 known causesUnsupported Storage Engine Selected
You have explicitly specified a storage engine (e.g., MEMORY, CSV, BLACKHOLE) that MariaDB does not allow for partitioned tables in your `CREATE TABLE` statement.
Default Engine Incompatibility
When creating a partitioned table without explicitly defining a storage engine, MariaDB's configured default engine is one that does not support partitioning.
Altering Table with Incompatible Engine
An `ALTER TABLE` statement attempts to add partitioning to an existing table that is currently using a storage engine incompatible with this feature.
