MariaDB Error 1082: Index Definition Mismatch
Description
This error occurs when MariaDB cannot create a specified index because the index definition in the `CREATE INDEX` statement does not correspond to a valid index type for the target table or its columns. It often indicates an issue with the table's underlying structure or an attempt to use an unsupported index type.
Error Message
Table '%s' has no index like the one used in CREATE INDEX; recreate the table
Known Causes
3 known causesInvalid Index Definition Syntax
The `CREATE INDEX` statement might be syntactically incorrect or specify an index type (e.g., `HASH`, `FULLTEXT`) that is not supported by the column or table's storage engine.
Corrupted Table Definition
The internal metadata or definition of the table might be damaged or inconsistent, preventing MariaDB from correctly processing the new index creation.
Storage Engine Limitations
The table's storage engine (e.g., InnoDB, MyISAM) may not support the specific index type being defined, or has restrictions on index creation.
