MySQL Error 1444: Recursive Prepared Statement
Description
This error indicates that a prepared statement attempts to execute itself in a recursive manner. This typically happens when a prepared statement calls a stored routine, and that stored routine, directly or indirectly, tries to re-execute the *same* prepared statement. MySQL disallows this self-referential execution to prevent infinite recursion and ensure system stability.
Error Message
The prepared statement contains a stored routine call that refers to that same statement. It's not allowed to execute a prepared statement in such a recursive manner
Known Causes
3 known causesDirect Routine Recursion
A prepared statement calls a stored routine which then, within its own logic, attempts to execute the very same prepared statement again.
Chained Routine Recursion
A prepared statement calls routine A, which in turn calls routine B, and routine B (or further down the call chain) attempts to re-execute the original prepared statement.
Incorrect Statement Management
Mismanagement of prepared statement lifecycles, where an attempt is made to re-prepare or re-execute an already active prepared statement from within a routine it invoked.
