How It Affects Your App
The error indicates that the application is attempting to mix aggregate functions with non-aggregate columns in the same SELECT statement. This can lead to unexpected results and can cause the application to malfunction. It can also lead to incorrect data being returned, which can cause further issues with the application. In order to prevent this, the application should be modified to ensure that aggregate functions are only used with aggregate columns.
How To Fix
1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1140 error. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error';
2. Check the max_allowed_packet variable. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet';
3. Increase the max_allowed_packet variable if it is lower than the size of the packet that is causing the error. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=1073741824;
4. Restart the MySQL server. This can be done by running the following command:
mysql> sudo service mysql restart
5. Use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix the MySQL 1140 in question. Automated database observability tools can help identify and diagnose MySQL errors quickly and accurately. They can also provide real-time insights into the performance of the database, allowing for proactive monitoring and troubleshooting.
