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.
This version of MySQL is not compiled with RAID support
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.
