MySQL 163

This error occurs when a table is created with an unknown storage engine. It indicates that the specified storage engine is not recognized by MySQL.

How It Affects Your App

The impact of this error on an application is that the application will not be able to access the table in question. This means that any data stored in the table will not be available to the application, and any operations that require access to the table will fail. This can lead to data loss, as well as disruption of the application's functionality. Additionally, the application may become unstable or crash due to the inability to access the table.

How To Fix

1. This command will show the current SQL mode of the MySQL server.

2. This command will reset the SQL mode to the default value.

SET GLOBAL sql_mode = '';

3. This command will show the new SQL mode of the MySQL server.

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode';

4. This command will flush the privileges and reload the grant tables.

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

5. This command will show the current global SQL mode of the MySQL server.

SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;

6. This command will set the global SQL mode to STRICT_TRANS_TABLES.

SET GLOBAL sql_mode = 'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES';

7. This command will show the new global SQL mode of the MySQL server.

SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;

8. This command will flush the privileges and reload the grant tables.

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

9. Use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix the MySQL 163 in question. Automated database observability tools can help identify and diagnose issues quickly, as well as provide insights into the performance of the database.
