Partition function not supported for this handler

Production Risk

Low — DDL error; the table will not be created.

What this means

ER_PARTITION_FUNCTION_FAILURE (1528, SQLSTATE HY000) is raised when the partition function used is not supported by the specified storage engine handler.

Why it happens
  1. 1Using a partition function that the storage engine does not support
  2. 2MyISAM or other engines with limited partition function support
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
CREATE TABLE t (id INT)
ENGINE=ARCHIVE
PARTITION BY RANGE(id) (
  PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (100)
);
-- ARCHIVE engine does not support partitioning

expected output

ERROR 1528 (HY000): Failed to create partition function

Fix

Switch to a storage engine that supports partitioning

Switch to a storage engine that supports partitioning
-- InnoDB and MyISAM support partitioning:
CREATE TABLE t (id INT)
ENGINE=InnoDB
PARTITION BY RANGE(id) (
  PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (100),
  PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE
);

Why this works

Only certain storage engines support partitioning; InnoDB is recommended.
