MariaDB Error 1145: GRANT Host/User Argument Too Long
Description
This error indicates that a `GRANT` statement failed because either the specified username or the hostname argument exceeded MariaDB's maximum allowed character length. It typically occurs when creating new users or assigning privileges with excessively long identifiers, preventing the operation from completing.

Known Causes
3 known causesExcessive Username Length
The username string provided in the `GRANT` statement surpasses the maximum character limit allowed by MariaDB for user identifiers.
Excessive Hostname Length

Overly Detailed Host Patterns
Using highly specific or very lengthy host patterns (e.g., `user@'very.long.subdomain.of.my.company.example.com'`) can collectively exceed the character limit for the host argument.
