MySQL Error 3582: Window Frame Reference Issue
Description
This error occurs when a SQL query attempts to define a window function that references another window function, where the referenced window already includes a frame clause (e.g., `ROWS BETWEEN` or `RANGE BETWEEN`). MySQL's window syntax does not permit this specific type of nesting to prevent ambiguous frame interpretations.
Error Message
Window '%s' has a frame definition, so cannot be referenced by another window.
Known Causes
3 known causesReferencing Framed Window
An outer window definition is attempting to inherit properties from an inner window that already explicitly defines a frame using `ROWS BETWEEN` or `RANGE BETWEEN` clauses.
Invalid Window Inheritance
MySQL's window function syntax prohibits a window definition that includes a frame clause from being referenced as the base for another window definition.
Ambiguous Frame Definition
The query implicitly attempts to define or re-interpret a frame for a window that already has one, leading to a disallowed nested structure.
