MySQL Error 4036: SDI Tablespace Incompatibility
Description
This error indicates that MySQL cannot process the Serialized Dictionary Information (SDI) within a specified tablespace. SDI is crucial metadata embedded in `.ibd` files, and this error typically occurs when the tablespace is corrupted, incompatible, or not properly associated with the database, preventing MySQL from reading table definitions.
Error Message
Tablespace '%s' is invalid for SDI operations.
Known Causes
3 known causesCorrupt Tablespace File
The `.ibd` file is physically damaged due to disk errors, power loss, or improper file transfer, making its embedded SDI unreadable.
Incompatible Tablespace Version
The tablespace was created with a different, incompatible MySQL version or a non-standard tool, leading to a mismatch in SDI format.
Orphaned or Detached Tablespace
The `.ibd` file exists on the filesystem but is not properly linked or registered with the current MySQL instance, hindering SDI access.
