MariaDB Error 1581: Invalid Log Table Rename Syntax
Description
This error indicates an issue when attempting to rename tables that are part of MariaDB's logging mechanism, such as the general query log or slow query log. It specifically occurs when a `RENAME TABLE` statement fails to correctly specify the necessary two-step rename operation: moving the current log table to an archive and renaming another table back to become the new active log table.
Error Message
Cannot rename '%s'. When logging enabled, rename to/from log table must rename two tables: the log table to an archive table and another table back to '%s'
Known Causes
3 known causesMalformed RENAME TABLE Statement
The `RENAME TABLE` statement did not include the required two parts: moving the existing log table to an archive and renaming a new table to take its place as the active log table.
Single Table Rename Attempt
An attempt was made to rename only the log table or only the new active log table, rather than performing both operations simultaneously as required when logging is enabled.
Incorrect Table References
The table names specified in the `RENAME TABLE` statement for the log table, archive table, or new active log table were incorrect or misspelled, leading to an incomplete operation.
