MariaDB Error 1444: Recursive Prepared Statement Call
Description
This error signifies that a prepared statement is attempting to execute itself, typically indirectly through a stored routine it invokes. MariaDB prevents such recursive execution to avoid infinite loops and maintain the integrity of statement execution. It commonly occurs when a stored procedure called by a prepared statement then tries to execute the *same* prepared statement again.
Error Message
The prepared statement contains a stored routine call that refers to that same statement. It's not allowed to execute a prepared statement in such a recursive manner
Known Causes
3 known causesDirect Self-Referencing Routine
A stored routine called by the prepared statement explicitly attempts to execute the very same prepared statement again within its logic.
Indirect Recursive Call Chain
The prepared statement calls a routine, which then calls another routine (or series of routines), eventually leading to an execution of the original prepared statement.
Application Logic Misconception
The application or database design mistakenly creates a scenario where a prepared statement's execution context triggers itself via a stored routine.
