MySQL Error 1881: Operation Not Allowed During Recovery
Description
This error indicates that an attempted database operation is not permitted because the MySQL InnoDB storage engine is currently running in a forced recovery mode (`innodb_force_recovery` is set to a value greater than 0). This mode intentionally restricts many operations to prevent further data corruption while the system attempts to recover from a critical issue.
Error Message
Operation not allowed when innodb_force_recovery > 0.
Known Causes
3 known causesManual Forced Recovery Configuration
A database administrator has explicitly set the `innodb_force_recovery` system variable to a value greater than 0 to facilitate data recovery from a corrupted or crashed database.
Unresolved Database Corruption
The InnoDB engine is in forced recovery mode because of a previous crash or detected corruption, and the underlying issue has not yet been fully resolved or the mode has not been reset.
Attempting Prohibited Operations
Certain database operations, including most DDL (Data Definition Language) and DML (Data Manipulation Language) statements, are intentionally blocked by MySQL when `innodb_force_recovery` is active to prevent further data loss or inconsistency.
