MariaDB Error 1462: View Recursion Detected
Description
This error indicates that a `CREATE VIEW` statement attempted to define a view that directly or indirectly refers to itself. MariaDB detects this circular dependency to prevent infinite loops and ensure data consistency. It typically occurs when defining complex view hierarchies.
Error Message
`%s`.`%s` contains view recursion
Known Causes
3 known causesDirect Self-Reference
The view definition directly includes a reference to its own name in the `SELECT` query, creating an immediate recursive loop.
Indirect Self-Reference
A chain of views creates a loop, where a view ultimately references itself through one or more intermediate views.
Complex View Hierarchy Misconfiguration
In complex database schemas, it's possible to inadvertently introduce circular dependencies between views due to design oversights.
