MariaDB Error 1514: Missing Partition Definition
Description
This error indicates that an `ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION` statement was executed without specifying any new partitions to add. MariaDB requires explicit partition definitions when you intend to expand a partitioned table. It commonly arises when the syntax for adding partitions is incomplete or incorrect.

Known Causes
3 known causesEmpty ADD PARTITION Clause
The `ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION` statement was executed, but no actual partition definitions were included after the `ADD PARTITION` keyword.

While an attempt was made to define partitions, the syntax used was incorrect, leading MariaDB to interpret it as an empty or invalid definition.
