The query references a table that MySQL cannot find in the selected database.
MySQL Error 1146: ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE appears when a statement references a table that is absent or misspelled in the current schema. Confirm the database, correct the table name, or create the missing table to resolve the error.
Table '%s.%s' doesn't exist
MySQL raises Error 1146 (SQLSTATE 42S02) when the parser cannot locate the table named in the query inside the currently selected database. The placeholder values %s.%s are replaced by the database and table identifiers that failed the lookup.
The error occurs during SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, or any DDL/DML operation that needs the table’s metadata.
Stored procedures, triggers, and prepared statements propagate the same error if they reference the missing object.
Queries halt immediately on Error 1146, blocking application workflows, ETL jobs, and CI pipelines. Fast diagnosis prevents broken deployments, avoids customer-facing downtime, and safeguards data consistency in dependent operations.
.
Typos or incorrect case sensitivity in identifiers cause MySQL to search for a non-existent object, triggering Error 1146.
Running USE on the wrong schema or omitting a fully qualified name makes MySQL look in the active database, not the intended one.
The table may have been removed in a migration, rolled back, or simply never created in the current environment.
Stale replicas or partial dumps can miss tables that exist in production but not in staging or local setups.
.
Yes. On Unix-like systems with lower_case_table_names=0, table names are case-sensitive, so mismatched casing triggers the error.
If you recreate a missing table from scratch, previous data is lost. Restore from backup or replicate from another environment to keep data.
Galaxy’s schema-aware auto-complete and AI copilot suggest valid table names as you type, reducing typos and mismatched database contexts.
The error code and message are identical across versions, but case sensitivity rules may differ based on server settings.
