Known Causes

3 known causes

⚠️

Missing Host Specification

The `DEFINER` clause specifies only the username without the required host part (e.g., `DEFINER = 'myuser'`).

⚠️

Incorrect Host Quoting

The host part, especially when using a wildcard (`%`), is not correctly quoted within the `DEFINER` clause (e.g., `DEFINER = 'myuser@%'` instead of `DEFINER = 'myuser'@'%'`).

⚠️

Malformed User/Host String

The combined user and host string in the `DEFINER` clause contains invalid characters or an unparseable format that prevents proper identification.
