Triggered when a CREATE VIEW or ALTER VIEW statement contains a clause that MySQL forbids inside a view's SELECT, such as LIMIT without ORDER BY, subqueries in the FROM clause, or variable assignments.
MySQL Error 1350: ER_VIEW_SELECT_CLAUSE means your view definition uses a clause that MySQL disallows inside a view SELECT. Rewrite the view by removing or refactoring the unsupported clause to clear the error.
View's SELECT contains a '%s' clause
MySQL throws error 1350 (SQLSTATE HY000) when a CREATE VIEW or ALTER VIEW statement includes a clause that the view engine cannot store safely. The internal parser rejects keywords like LIMIT, TEMPORARY, variable assignments, and subqueries that break determinism or security.
The error message shows the offending keyword so you can locate the exact fragment. Understanding which clauses MySQL bans inside views lets you correct the definition quickly.
Developers see this error while migrating ad-hoc SELECT queries into reusable views. It also surfaces during schema refactoring when a previously valid SELECT gains a new clause that is not view-safe. Automated tools that generate views can hit the same guardrail.
Leaving the error unresolved prevents the view from compiling, breaking dependent queries, stored procedures, and applications. Production outages or stale business reports may follow, so prompt correction protects data workflows.
MySQL disallows non-deterministic row limiting inside views, so any SELECT ... LIMIT 10 violates the rule.
Statements that read or set @session variables jeopardize view determinism and are blocked.
MySQL forbids derived tables inside view definitions because they can mask privilege checks and complicate optimization.
Clauses that reference TEMPORARY or OUTFILE need elevated permissions and are blocked in views for security.
Raised when your view uses a scalar or row subquery in the SELECT list.
Appears if the view references a TEMPORARY table, which is not allowed.
Triggers when inserting or updating a row through a view violates the WITH CHECK OPTION constraint.
Yes. Even in MySQL 8.0, LIMIT or OFFSET inside a view is forbidden unless wrapped by an outer query.
Window functions are allowed because they are deterministic. The error only concerns disallowed clauses like LIMIT, TEMPORARY, or variable assignments.
No official roadmap removes these restrictions. They are design decisions for security and determinism.
Galaxy’s linting warns when you insert disallowed clauses into a view and highlights them inline, preventing failed deployments.
