MariaDB Error 1656: MAXVALUE in VALUES IN Clause
Description
This error indicates that the special keyword `MAXVALUE` has been used incorrectly within a `VALUES IN` clause. The `VALUES IN` clause expects a list of explicit, finite data values for comparison, not a conceptual or keyword-defined maximum value. It typically points to a syntax or logical error where `MAXVALUE` is applied in an inappropriate context.
Error Message
Cannot use MAXVALUE as value in VALUES IN
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect `VALUES IN` Syntax
The `VALUES IN` clause requires a literal list of values (e.g., numbers, strings) and does not support special keywords like `MAXVALUE` for comparison.
Misuse of `MAXVALUE` Keyword
`MAXVALUE` is specifically designed for contexts like table partitioning or sequence definitions to represent an upper boundary, not as a general value within a list for comparison.
Applying Code from Different Contexts
This error can arise when SQL code snippets, perhaps from partitioning definitions where `MAXVALUE` is valid, are mistakenly used in a `VALUES IN` clause.
