MySQL Error 4125: Scaling Parameter Must Be Non-Negative
Description
This error indicates that a scaling parameter, typically used in spatial reference systems (SRS) or geometric operations, was provided with a negative value. It occurs when MySQL expects a non-negative scale factor to correctly interpret or transform spatial data, preventing the operation from completing.
Error Message

Known Causes
4 known causesInvalid Spatial Reference System Definition
A custom or imported Spatial Reference System (SRS) definition contains a negative value where a non-negative scaling factor is required.

Data Migration or Import Issues
When importing spatial data or SRS definitions, a negative scaling parameter was inadvertently introduced due to malformed input or conversion errors.
Corrupted or Malformed Spatial Data
Underlying spatial data or its associated metadata contains an invalid negative scaling factor, leading to errors during processing.
