MySQL Error 2057: Column Count Mismatch
Description
This error indicates a discrepancy between the expected number of columns in a prepared statement's result set and the actual number of bound client-side buffers. It typically occurs when the database schema or query changes after the statement has been prepared but before the results are fetched.
Error Message
The number of columns in the result set differs from the number of bound buffers. You must reset the statement, rebind the result set columns, and execute the statement again
Known Causes
3 known causesSchema or Query Alterations
The structure of the table or the `SELECT` query used in the prepared statement was modified after the statement was initially prepared, leading to a different number of result columns.
Incorrect Column Binding
The client-side application attempts to bind a different number of result buffers than the columns returned by the current execution of the prepared statement.
Prepared Statement Reuse
A prepared statement handle is reused for multiple queries with varying result set structures without being properly reset and re-bound.
