<p>The view update or insert violates the WITH CHECK OPTION condition defined on the view.</p>
<p>MySQL Error 1369 ER_VIEW_CHECK_FAILED appears when an INSERT or UPDATE on a view breaks the view's WITH CHECK OPTION rules. Verify the view definition, adjust data to meet the condition, or remove WITH CHECK OPTION to resolve the issue quickly.</p>
CHECK OPTION failed '%s.%s'
MySQL raises ER_VIEW_CHECK_FAILED when you try to INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE rows through a view that was created WITH CHECK OPTION and the resulting rows do not satisfy the view's WHERE clause.
The error stops the statement to protect data integrity because the modified row would no longer be visible through the same view.
The database engine evaluates the row against the view filter after the modification. If any column value violates the filter, the check option fails and MySQL returns error 1369 with the failing database and view name.
This safeguard prevents accidental data drift outside the logical boundaries defined by the view.
First confirm the view definition using SHOW CREATE VIEW and review the WHERE clause. Then ensure the data you are writing matches that clause or update the view definition accordingly.
You can also drop and recreate the view without WITH CHECK OPTION if that constraint is no longer required, but review application logic before doing so.
Galaxy’s editor surfaces view definitions inline and highlights constraint violations as you draft SQL. Its AI copilot can rewrite your INSERT or UPDATE to satisfy the view filter, preventing runtime errors before you execute queries.
The new or updated row no longer meets the WHERE clause specified in the view.
INSERT statements rely on column defaults that fall outside the view condition.
BEFORE or AFTER triggers modify column values in a way that breaks the check condition.
The application evolved but view definitions were not updated, misaligning business rules and data constraints.
Occurs when the optimizer cannot describe the execution plan for a view.
Raised when the view's SELECT list is invalid or contains duplicates.
Indicates that the view references objects that no longer exist or have changed.
Signals a row-level CHECK constraint failure on a base table rather than a view.
No. SELECT statements simply read data and never trigger the check option.
You must recreate the view without the option. There is no session toggle.
SQL_MODE has no effect on WITH CHECK OPTION behavior.
Dropping and recreating a view does not alter underlying data but can break dependent code, so audit usage first.
