1114 (HY000): The table is full

MysqlInnodb

Mysql Problem Overview


I'm trying to add a row to an InnoDB table with a simply query:

INSERT INTO zip_codes (zip_code, city) VALUES ('90210', 'Beverly Hills');

But when I attempt this query, I get the following:

> ERROR 1114 (HY000): The table zip_codes is full

Doing a

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM zip_codes

gives me 188,959 rows, which doesn't seem like too many considering I have another table with 810,635 rows in that same database.

I am fairly inexperienced with the InnoDB engine and never experienced this issue with MyISAM. What are some of the potential problems here ?

EDIT: This only occurs when adding a row to the zip_codes table.

Solution 1 - Mysql

EDIT: First check, if you did not run out of disk-space, before resolving to the configuration-related resolution.

You seem to have a too low maximum size for your innodb_data_file_path in your my.cnf, In this example

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend:max:512M

you cannot host more than 512MB of data in all innodb tables combined.

Maybe you should switch to an innodb-per-table scheme using innodb_file_per_table.

Solution 2 - Mysql

Another possible reason is the partition being full - this is just what happened to me now.

Solution 3 - Mysql

DOCKER USERS: This also happens when you have hit around 90% of your Docker image size limit (seems like 10% is needed for caching or so). The wording is confusing, as this simply means the amount of disk space Docker can use for basically everything.

To fix, go to your Docker desktop settings > Disk > move slider a bit more to the right > Apply.

You will also get the same error ERROR 1114 (HY000): The table '#sql-310a_8867d7f' is full

if you try to add an index to a table that is using the storage engine MEMORY.

Solution 5 - Mysql

You need to modify the limit cap set in my.cnf for the INNO_DB tables. This memory limit is not set for individual tables, it is set for all the tables combined.

If you want the memory to autoextend to 512MB

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend:max:512M

If you don't know the limit or don't want to put a limit cap, you can modify it like this

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend

Solution 6 - Mysql

This error also appears if the partition on which tmpdir resides fills up (due to an alter table or other

Solution 7 - Mysql

In my case, this was because the partition hosting the ibdata1 file was full.

Solution 8 - Mysql

You may be running out of space either in the partition where the mysql tables are stored (usually /var/lib/mysql) or in where the temporary tables are stored (usually /tmp).

You may want to: - monitor your free space during the index creation. - point the tmpdir MySQL variable to a different location. This requires a server restart.

Solution 9 - Mysql

I too faced this error while importing an 8GB sql database file. Checked my mysql installation drive. There was no space left in the drive. So got some space by removing unwanted items and re-ran my database import command. This time it was successful.

Solution 10 - Mysql

Unless you enabled innodb_file_per_table option, InnoDB keeps all data in one file, usually called ibdata1.

Check the size of that file and check you have enough disk space in the drive it resides on.

Solution 11 - Mysql

If you use NDBCLUSTER as storage engine, you should increase DataMemory and IndexMemory.

Solution 12 - Mysql

we had: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1114 The table 'catalog_product_index_price_bundle_sel_tmp' is full

solved by:

edit config of db:

nano /etc/my.cnf

tmp_table_size=256M max_heap_table_size=256M

  • restart db

Solution 13 - Mysql

in my case, it just because the mysql server runs together with an application , who write too many logs that the disk is full.

you can check if the disk has enough space use

df -h

if the disk usage percentage is 100%, you can use this command to find which directory is too large

du -h -d 1 /

Solution 14 - Mysql

To quote the MySQL Documents.

> The InnoDB storage engine maintains InnoDB tables within a tablespace that can be created from several files. This allows a table to exceed the maximum individual file size. 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. See Section 13.2.5, [“Adding, Removing, or Resizing InnoDB Data and Log Files”.]

Solution 15 - Mysql

For those of you whose issues still remain when trying increasing any of the various memory limits: by setting internal_tmp_mem_storage_engine=MEMORY solved the issue for me.

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.2, using MySQL 8.0.25-0ubuntu0.20.04.1.

Solution 16 - Mysql

On CentOS 7 simply stopping and starting the MySQL service fixed this for me.

sudo service mysql stop

sudo service mysql start

Solution 17 - Mysql

I faced same problem because of low disk space. And partition which is hosting the ibdata1 file which is the system tablespace for the InnoDB infrastructure was full.

Solution 18 - Mysql

I was experiencing this issue... in my case, I'd run out of storage on my dedicated server. Check that if everything else fails and consider increasing disk space or removing unwanted data or files.

Solution 19 - Mysql

In my case, I was trying to run an alter table command and the available disk space was less than the size of table. Once, I increased the disk space the problem went away.

Solution 20 - Mysql

This disk is full at /var/www/mysql

Solution 21 - Mysql

In my case the server memory was full so the DB could not write the temp data. To solve it you just have to make some place on your drive.

Solution 22 - Mysql

I fixed this problem by increasing the amount of memory available to the vagrant VM where the database was located.

Solution 23 - Mysql

This could also be the InnoDB limit for the number of open transactions:

> at 1024 transactions, that have undo > records (as in, edited any data), > InnoDB will fail to work
