How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that the MySQL server is unable to find the key cache specified in the query. This can cause the query to fail, resulting in an application error. It can also lead to slower query performance, as the server is unable to use the key cache to speed up the query. In some cases, the application may be unable to function properly until the issue is resolved.
