The MySQL server binary was built without RAID support, so any statement that references RAID_TYPE or RAID-related options fails with error 1174.
MySQL Error 1174: ER_NO_RAID_COMPILED means your server was compiled without RAID support. Remove RAID_TYPE clauses from your CREATE/ALTER statements or rebuild/reinstall MySQL with the --with-raid option to resolve the problem.
ER_NO_RAID_COMPILED
The server returns “This version of MySQL is not compiled with RAID support” when it encounters a RAID_TABLE clause but lacks the necessary build flag. MySQL assigns this situation SQLSTATE HY000 and error code 1174.
The error stops CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statements that specify RAID_TYPE or other RAID attributes on builds compiled without the --with-raid option.
The primary cause is a MySQL binary compiled without RAID capabilities.
Any statement requesting striping or mirrored RAID options triggers the error immediately.
The problem also appears after upgrades where a previously custom-built server (with RAID) is replaced by a stock package lacking that flag.
Fastest fix: remove RAID_TYPE and RAID_CHUNKS options from the DDL and use standard storage engines like MyISAM or InnoDB. The table will create successfully.
Permanent fix: rebuild or reinstall MySQL with RAID enabled.
Configure the source build using --with-raid and verify RAID_TABLE support with SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'raid_type';
Restoring backups created on a RAID-enabled server fails on a stock server. Strip RAID lines from dump files or recreate the dump without the option.
Automated schema generators may inject RAID_TYPE by default. Update generation templates so that RAID directives are only used on supported servers.
Standardize server builds across environments so schemas move freely.
Document compile-time flags and enforce them with CI checks.
During upgrades, confirm that the new package matches prior custom build flags or adjust DDL scripts accordingly.
Galaxy’s schema-aware linting highlights unsupported options like RAID_TYPE before execution. Teams can endorse corrected queries so future runs stay error-free.
.
No. RAID_TABLE was deprecated and later removed. Modern versions ignore or error on RAID directives.
No. RAID support is a compile-time option. You must install a binary that was built with --with-raid or compile from source.
Removing the directive only disables MySQL-managed striping. Use filesystem-level RAID or hardware RAID instead for similar redundancy.
Galaxy inspects DDL in real time and alerts users when options like RAID_TYPE are unsupported on the connected server version.
