MariaDB Error 1479: Undefined Partition Values
Description
This error indicates a syntax problem when creating or altering a table with `RANGE` or `LIST` partitioning. It occurs because a `VALUES` clause, which defines the data range or list for each partition, is missing or incorrectly specified for one or more partitions. MariaDB requires these definitions to properly distribute data across partitions.
Error Message
Syntax error: %s PARTITIONING requires definition of VALUES %s for each partition
Known Causes
3 known causesMissing `VALUES LESS THAN` for RANGE Partitioning
When using `PARTITION BY RANGE`, each `PARTITION` definition must include a `VALUES LESS THAN` clause to specify the upper bound of values for that partition.
Missing `VALUES IN` for LIST Partitioning
When using `PARTITION BY LIST`, each `PARTITION` definition must include a `VALUES IN` clause to specify the explicit list of values belonging to that partition.
Incorrect Partition Definition Syntax
Typos, misplaced keywords, or an improper structure within the `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE` statement can prevent MariaDB from correctly parsing the partition definitions.
