Description
This error occurs when you attempt to perform an operation on a subpartitioned table using the `PARTITION` keyword instead of the correct `SUBPARTITION` keyword. It indicates that the DDL statement is incorrectly targeting a partition level when a subpartition level operation is specifically required by MySQL.
Error Message
Subpartitioned table, use subpartition instead of partition
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect DDL Syntax
