MySQL Error 1462: View Recursion Detected
Description
MySQL Error 1462 signifies a recursive loop within your database view definitions. This occurs when a view directly or indirectly references itself, creating a circular dependency that prevents MySQL from properly resolving the view's structure or content.
Error Message
`%s`.`%s` contains view recursion
Known Causes
3 known causesDirect View Self-Reference
A view's `SELECT` statement directly refers to the view itself, creating an immediate circular dependency.
Indirect View Chain Recursion
A series of views (e.g., View A -> View B -> View C) where View C ultimately refers back to View A, forming a recursive loop.
Complex Join/Subquery Loop
Recursion can arise in complex view definitions involving multiple joins or subqueries that inadvertently create a circular dependency with other views or the view itself.
