Inconsistency in usage of column lists for partitioning
Production Risk
Low — DDL fails; no data affected.
What this means
COLUMNS partitioning was specified but the column list is inconsistent — for example mixing RANGE COLUMNS with a non-column expression.
Why it happens
- 1Using PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS with expressions instead of plain column names
- 2Mismatch between column list lengths in different PARTITION definitions
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
CREATE TABLE t (a INT) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS(a+1) (PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (10));
expected output
ERROR 1283 (HY000): Inconsistency in usage of column lists for partitioning
Fix
Use plain column references
Use plain column references
CREATE TABLE t (a INT) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMNS(a) (PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (10));
Why this works
RANGE/LIST COLUMNS requires bare column names, not expressions.
