MySQL Error 3007: Temporary Tablespace Management
Description
Error 3007 indicates an attempt to perform tablespace management operations (DISCARD or IMPORT) on a table that MySQL identifies as a temporary table. MySQL automatically manages the lifecycle and storage of temporary tables, making explicit tablespace operations impermissible for them.
Error Message
Cannot DISCARD/IMPORT tablespace associated with temporary table
Known Causes
3 known causesAttempting Direct Tablespace Management
The user tried to use `ALTER TABLE ... DISCARD TABLESPACE` or `IMPORT TABLESPACE` on a table that was created as a temporary table.
Misunderstanding Temporary Table Scope
Temporary tables are session-specific, and their storage is implicitly handled by the server, meaning explicit tablespace operations are not applicable.
Incorrect Table Identification
A SQL script or command mistakenly targeted a temporary table for a tablespace operation intended for a permanent table.
