MySQL raises ER_STD_OUT_OF_RANGE_ERROR when a numeric value evaluated inside a built-in function exceeds the supported range for that data type.
ER_STD_OUT_OF_RANGE_ERROR means MySQL detected a numeric value that is larger or smaller than the target data type can store. Cast or clamp the value, adjust column types, or rewrite calculations to remove overflow to resolve the error.
ER_STD_OUT_OF_RANGE_ERROR
MySQL throws ER_STD_OUT_OF_RANGE_ERROR when a built-in function attempts to process a numeric value that lies outside the supported range of its return data type. Introduced in 5.7.5, it surfaces as a generic HY000 error with code 3048.
The database engine halts the statement to protect data integrity, returning the message Out of range error: %s in function %s. Fixing the overflow or widening the data type removes the failure.
An arithmetic expression that produces a number bigger than BIGINT, DECIMAL, or DOUBLE limits commonly triggers the exception. Shifts between signed and unsigned values can also overflow.
Implicit casts from large numeric literals or strings into smaller integer columns raise the error when the parsed value does not fit.
First identify the offending expression or column by checking the function name shown in the error text. Then adjust the calculation, cast, or schema to keep the result within range.
Use CAST to clamp intermediate results, increase column precision, or switch to DECIMAL with sufficient digits. After changes, rerun the statement to confirm success.
SUM() on huge financial tables may overflow BIGINT: switch to DECIMAL(38,2). Multiplying two large INT fields can exceed 32-bit limits: cast both to BIGINT before multiplying.
Parsing a 64-bit literal into an INT column fails: change the column to BIGINT UNSIGNED. Date arithmetic yielding negative intervals for UNSIGNED columns also throws the error: make the column signed.
Model numeric columns with headroom for future growth. Prefer DECIMAL for currency and analytics. Always test edge-case values in staging before promoting schema changes.

ER_DATA_OUT_OF_RANGE (1264) occurs during inserts when a literal value does not fit a column. ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE (1292) flags invalid numeric literals. Solutions are similar: widen types, clamp data, or correct inputs.
Calculations that exceed BIGINT, DOUBLE, or DECIMAL limits.
Large literals stored into smaller INT columns.
Negative results written to UNSIGNED columns.
SUM or AVG accumulating numbers beyond datatype capacity.
Value too large for column during INSERT or UPDATE.
String to numeric conversion failed or overflowed.
Same overflow but in strictless mode, recorded as warning.
Division where denominator is zero - sometimes paired with overflow checks.
Check the function name in the error text then add SELECT ... WHERE value > max_range queries to isolate rows that exceed limits.
In strict mode MySQL raises an error. Disabling strict mode may convert it to a warning but data corruption risk rises. Always fix the root cause instead.
DECIMAL increases range but still has a finite precision. Pick sufficient digits and test edge cases.
