Incorrect value provided for a variable or option

Production Risk

Low — the SET command fails; the variable retains its previous value.

What this means

ER_WRONG_VALUE (1532, SQLSTATE HY000) is raised when an incorrect or out-of-range value is provided for a MySQL system variable or option.

Why it happens
  1. 1Setting a system variable to an invalid value type
  2. 2Providing a value outside the allowed range for a variable
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = 'large';  -- Must be numeric

expected output

ERROR 1532 (HY000): Incorrect argument type to variable 'innodb_buffer_pool_size'

Fix

Provide a valid value for the variable

Provide a valid value for the variable
-- Check the valid range:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'innodb_buffer_pool_size';

-- Set a valid value:
SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size = 134217728;  -- 128MB in bytes

Why this works

System variables have specific types and ranges; check the MySQL documentation for valid values.
