MySQL Error 3583: Conflicting ORDER BY in Window Inheritance
Description
This error occurs in MySQL when defining a named window that attempts to inherit properties from another named window, but both the base window and the inheriting window explicitly specify an ORDER BY clause. MySQL's window inheritance rules do not allow an inheriting window to redefine or duplicate an ORDER BY clause if the base window already defines one.
Error Message
Window '%s' cannot inherit '%s' since both contain an ORDER BY clause.
Known Causes
3 known causesRedundant ORDER BY in Window Definition
This occurs when a named window inherits from another named window, and both the parent and child window definitions explicitly include an ORDER BY clause. MySQL disallows this direct conflict.
Misunderstanding Window Inheritance Rules
Users might incorrectly assume that an inheriting window can redefine or extend the ORDER BY of its base window, which is not permitted when the base already has an ORDER BY clause.
Copy-Paste Errors or Refactoring Oversights
When reusing or modifying existing SQL queries, an ORDER BY clause might be inadvertently duplicated in an inheriting window definition during refactoring or copy-pasting.
