Why is MySQL saying the table is full?
From our experience in managing databases, our Dedicated Engineers often see the table full error due to disk full issues. If a server partition or disk has used up all the space and MySQL still attempts to insert data into the table, it will fail with error 1114. Similarly, this error can also happen during backup of large databases too.
What was the error 1114 at Line 12345?
The error said: ERROR 1114 (HY000) at line 12345: The table ‘abc’ is full. Surprisingly, the table it was complaining about was empty and contained no rows. Therefore, the natural question comes:
What’s the maximum size of an InnoDB table?
The tablespace can include raw disk partitions, which allows extremely large tables. The maximum tablespace size is 64TB. If you are using InnoDB tables and run out of room in the InnoDB tablespace. In this case, the solution is to extend the InnoDB tablespace.
When does InnoDB _ data _ file _ path in my.cnf?
When the innodb_data_file_path in the my.cnf file is set as per the entry below, the ibdata1 file can grow only up to a maximum size of 512M. And, when the file size grows over this limit, it ends up in the error 1114 (hy000): the table is full.
Why is my ibdata1 file bigger than InnoDB?
For instance, on a database server with storage engine set as InnoDB , the parameter innodb_data_file_path often cause this error. When the innodb_data_file_path in the my.cnf file is set as per the entry below, the ibdata1 file can grow only up to a maximum size of 512M.
