The partition name used in the `CREATE TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE` statement does not conform to MySQL's naming conventions (e.g., contains illegal characters, is too long).
Duplicate Partition Name
An attempt was made to create or define multiple partitions with the exact same name within the same table, leading to a naming conflict.
Incorrect Partition Expression
The expression or values used to define the partition boundaries (e.g., `VALUES IN`, `VALUES LESS THAN`) are syntactically incorrect or logically flawed.
Reserved Keyword as Name
A MySQL reserved keyword was used as a partition name without proper escaping, causing a parsing error.
