MySQL Error 1740: Partition Exchange Foreign Key Conflict
Description
This error occurs when you attempt to exchange a non-partitioned table with a partition within a partitioned table. MySQL prevents this operation because the table designated for exchange has foreign key constraints, which could lead to referential integrity violations during the swap. The error ensures data consistency is maintained.
Error Message
Table to exchange with partition has foreign key references: '%s'
Known Causes
3 known causesForeign Keys on Source Table
The standalone table you are attempting to exchange with a partition has one or more foreign key constraints defined on its columns. MySQL disallows this direct exchange to prevent potential data integrity issues.
Referential Integrity Mismatch
The foreign key definitions on the table intended for exchange are incompatible with the structure or constraints of the target partitioned table, which would violate referential integrity if the exchange proceeded.
Schema Design Limitation
Your database schema design includes foreign keys on tables that are later involved in partition exchange operations, a scenario not directly supported by MySQL's partitioning exchange mechanism.
