MySQL Error 3518: Missing SRS Projection Parameter
Description
This error occurs when MySQL attempts to use a Spatial Reference System (SRS) definition for a given SRID, but finds that a mandatory projection parameter, often specified by an EPSG code, is absent. It indicates an incomplete or incorrectly defined SRS, preventing spatial operations that rely on a full projection definition.
Error Message
The spatial reference system definition for SRID %u does not specify the mandatory %s (EPSG %u) projection parameter.
Known Causes
3 known causesIncomplete SRS Definition
A `CREATE SPATIAL REFERENCE SYSTEM` statement was executed without including all mandatory projection parameters for the specified SRID, particularly those related to EPSG codes.
Incorrect SRID Reference
An application or query attempted to use an SRID that either doesn't exist or refers to an SRS definition that is inherently incomplete or corrupted in the MySQL data dictionary.
Manual Metadata Corruption
The `mysql.st_spatial_reference_systems` table or related system tables were manually altered, leading to an invalid or incomplete definition for a spatial reference system.
