MariaDB Error 1860: Path Length Exceeded by Identifiers
Description
Error 1860 occurs when the combined length of database names, table names, column names, or other object identifiers results in a file system path exceeding the maximum allowed characters. This limit is often imposed by the operating system or MariaDB's internal file system handling, preventing the creation or modification of the database object.
Error Message
Long database name and identifier for object resulted in path length exceeding %d characters. Path: '%s'.
Known Causes
4 known causesExcessively Long Database Names
Using very long names for databases can quickly consume a significant portion of the total path length allowance, even before considering object names.
Lengthy Object Identifiers
Individual table, index, or column names that are excessively long contribute significantly to the overall file system path length for the object's data files.
Combination of Long Identifiers
Even moderately long database and object names, when combined, can collectively exceed the system's maximum path length limit.
Operating System Path Limitations
The underlying operating system (e.g., Windows, some Linux configurations) might have stricter path length limits than MariaDB's internal limits, causing this error.
