Known Causes

4 known causes

⚠️

Missing or Incorrect UDF Library Path

The shared library file (.so, .dll) for the UDF is either not present in the expected plugin directory or the path specified for it is incorrect.

⚠️

Insufficient File Permissions

The MariaDB server process lacks the necessary read or execute permissions for the UDF library file or the directory where it is stored.

⚠️

Incompatible UDF Binary

The UDF library was compiled for a different MariaDB version, operating system, or architecture, making it incompatible with the running server instance.

⚠️

Internal UDF Initialization Error

An error occurred within the UDF's own initialization function (e.g., `xxx_init`) due to internal logic flaws or unfulfilled dependencies.
