MySQL Error 1572: Incompatible Engine Partitioning
Description
Error 1572 indicates that the specified storage engine for a table cannot be used with partitioning. This typically occurs when attempting to create or alter a table to be partitioned while using an engine that lacks support for such functionality, or has specific limitations.
Error Message
Engine cannot be used in partitioned tables
Known Causes
4 known causesUnsupported Storage Engine
The chosen storage engine (e.g., MyISAM in modern MySQL, MEMORY, or certain third-party engines) does not inherently support table partitioning.
Specific Engine Limitations
Even if an engine generally supports partitioning (like InnoDB), certain configurations or specific features within that engine might conflict with partitioning requirements.
MySQL Version Incompatibility
Older MySQL versions or specific distributions might have varying levels of partitioning support for different storage engines, which can lead to this error.
Incorrect Table Definition
The `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE` statement attempts to combine partitioning with an engine or engine option that is explicitly disallowed.
