Configuration file is too big

Production Risk

Low — specific object is inaccessible; other database objects are unaffected.

What this means

An internal MySQL file parser encountered a view, trigger, or stored routine definition file that exceeds the allowed size.

Why it happens
  1. 1Extremely large view or routine definition stored in frm/TRG/TRN files (MySQL 5.7 and earlier)
  2. 2File system corruption producing an oversized metadata file
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
-- Internal error; not triggered by a specific SQL statement.

expected output

ERROR 1332 (HY000): Configuration file is too big

Fix

Recreate the object

Recreate the object
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS v; CREATE VIEW v AS ...;

Why this works

Recreating the object writes a fresh, correctly-sized metadata file.
