MySQL Error 3014: Missing Table Engine Create Option
Description
This error occurs when MySQL attempts to create a table using a specific storage engine, but finds that one or more mandatory options for that engine are missing from the `CREATE TABLE` statement. It indicates that the table definition is incomplete or lacks critical engine-specific parameters required for successful creation.
Error Message
Table storage engine '%s' found required create option missing
Known Causes
4 known causesIncomplete Engine Configuration
The `CREATE TABLE` statement did not specify all the mandatory options required by the chosen storage engine, such as specific parameters for NDB Cluster or other specialized engines.
Syntax Errors or Typos
Incorrect spelling, capitalization, or improper formatting of engine-specific options can lead MySQL to interpret them as missing or unrecognized.
Specific Engine Requirements Not Met
Certain storage engines demand particular options for their functionality (e.g., partitioning clauses for NDB), and attempting to create a table without these will trigger this error.
Version or Feature Mismatch
The table definition might rely on engine features or syntax that are not supported or configured differently in the current MySQL server version or environment.
