MySQL Error 1290: Option Prevents Statement Execution
Description
Error 1290 indicates that the MySQL server is configured with a specific option that restricts the execution of a particular SQL statement. This typically occurs when a security or operational setting prevents certain database operations, such as file system access or data modification, from being performed.
Error Message
The MySQL server is running with the %s option so it cannot execute this statement
Known Causes
4 known causesServer Security Restrictions (`--secure-file-priv`)
The `--secure-file-priv` option is set, restricting `LOAD DATA INFILE`, `SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE`, or `LOAD XML INFILE` operations to a specific directory or disabling them entirely.
Read-Only Server Mode (`--read-only`)
The MySQL server is configured in read-only mode, preventing any data modification statements (e.g., INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE TABLE) from executing.
Safe Update Mode (`--safe-updates`)
The `--safe-updates` option is enabled, which prevents `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statements that do not include a `WHERE` clause or operate on non-key columns from executing.
Grant Table Skipping (`--skip-grant-tables`)
The `--skip-grant-tables` option is active, which disables permission checking and prevents DCL (Data Control Language) statements like `GRANT` or `REVOKE` from being executed.
