MariaDB Error 1450: Forbidden Schema Modification
Description
Error 1450 occurs when you attempt to change the database (schema) an object belongs to, such as moving a table, view, or stored procedure from one schema to another. MariaDB prohibits direct alteration of an object's schema after its initial creation, ensuring data integrity and preventing unintended structural changes.
Error Message
Changing schema from '%s' to '%s' is not allowed.
Known Causes
4 known causesAccidental Schema Reference in DDL
You might have inadvertently included a fully qualified object name (e.g., `old_schema.table_name`) in an `ALTER TABLE` or `RENAME TABLE` statement, mistakenly attempting a schema change instead of a simple rename within the same schema.
Incorrect RENAME TABLE Syntax
Using `RENAME TABLE old_schema.table_name TO new_schema.table_name` syntax, which implies moving a table between schemas, is not supported for direct schema migration and triggers this error.
Misunderstanding Database Structure
Developers or administrators may misunderstand MariaDB's object-schema binding, assuming objects can be directly moved between databases using `ALTER` or `RENAME` commands.
Altering View or Routine Schema
Attempting to alter the definition of a view, stored procedure, or function in a way that implies changing its owning schema, as these objects are strictly bound to their creation schema.
