MariaDB Error 1424: Preventing Recursive Stored Routines
Description
Error 1424 indicates that a stored function or trigger is attempting to call itself, either directly or indirectly. MariaDB's SQL standard implementation explicitly disallows such recursive behavior for stored routines to prevent infinite loops and resource exhaustion.
Error Message
Recursive stored functions and triggers are not allowed.
Known Causes
3 known causesDirect Self-Call
A stored function or trigger explicitly calls itself within its own definition.
Indirect Routine Chain
Routine A calls Routine B, and Routine B (or another routine in the call chain) eventually calls Routine A back, forming a circular dependency.
Trigger Modifying Own Table
A trigger performs an operation (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on the very table it is defined for, which could cause it to re-fire itself recursively.
