MySQL Error 1500: Invalid Subpartitioning Combination
Description
This error indicates an attempt to combine specific partitioning types for subpartitions in a way that MySQL does not support. It primarily occurs when defining a table with main partitions (e.g., RANGE or LIST) and then trying to subpartition it using HASH or KEY partitioning, which is not a valid mix for subpartitions.
Error Message
It is only possible to mix RANGE/LIST partitioning with HASH/KEY partitioning for subpartitioning
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect Subpartitioning Syntax
You have attempted to define subpartitions using a combination of RANGE/LIST with HASH/KEY partitioning, which is not permitted by MySQL's partitioning rules.
Misunderstanding Partitioning Rules
The error arises from a lack of understanding of MySQL's specific requirements for how main partitions (RANGE/LIST) can be combined with subpartitions (HASH/KEY).
Copy-Paste DDL Issues
Using DDL statements from examples or other environments without fully verifying their compatibility with your intended partitioning strategy can lead to this error.
