MySQL Error 1683: Invalid Performance Schema Usage
Description
This error indicates an attempt to interact with MySQL's `performance_schema` in an unsupported or incorrect manner. It typically occurs when a user or application tries to perform operations other than `SELECT` on `performance_schema` tables, or uses unsupported syntax for querying. This schema is designed for read-only diagnostic information.
Error Message
Invalid performance_schema usage.
Known Causes
4 known causesAttempting DDL/DML on Performance Schema
Users or applications are trying to execute Data Definition Language (DDL) or Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE) on tables within the `performance_schema` database. These tables are read-only views for monitoring.
Incorrect Query Syntax or Functions
The SQL query directed at `performance_schema` tables contains syntax errors, uses unsupported functions, or attempts to join tables in ways not permitted by the `performance_schema` design.
Version Incompatibility
Certain `performance_schema` features, tables, or columns might not be available or function differently in older or specific MySQL versions. Using features from a newer version on an older server can trigger this error.
Misunderstanding Read-Only Nature
A common cause is a fundamental misunderstanding that `performance_schema` tables are designed solely for reading diagnostic information and cannot be modified or altered.
