MySQL 1122: Incorrect table name.

When encountering the error 1122: Incorrect table name in MySQL, the user should immediately execute the following actions for investigation:

  1. Check the Query Syntax:


- Ensure that the table name in the query is spelled correctly and matches the actual table name in the database.

  1. Verify Table Existence:


- Run `SHOW TABLES;` to list all tables in the current database to verify the existence of the table you are trying to access.

  1. Check for Case Sensitivity:


- MySQL table names are case sensitive on some platforms (like Unix-based systems). Ensure the case matches. Use the exact case as shown in the `SHOW TABLES;` result.

  1. Use Backticks Around Table Names:


- If the table name contains special characters or is a reserved keyword, enclose the table name in backticks (`) in your query. For example, ``SELECT * FROM `table-name`;``.

  1. Confirm Current Database:


- Run `SELECT DATABASE();` to confirm you are operating in the correct database where the table exists.

  1. Database and Table Collation Check:


- If applicable, check the database and table collation and character set by executing `SHOW CREATE DATABASE yourdatabasename;` and `SHOW CREATE TABLE yourtablename;`. Ensure they are compatible or as expected.

  1. Check for Corrupted Tables:


- If you suspect the table might be corrupted, run a table check using `CHECK TABLE tablename;`. If issues are found, consider running a repair with `REPAIR TABLE tablename;`.

By following these steps, the user can identify and possibly correct the issue leading to the "Incorrect table name" error in MySQL.

MORE ISSUES

MySQL Replication Lag
In a replication setup, a noticeable delay between master and slave, leading to outdated data on replicas.
MySQL Query Timeouts
Queries failing due to exceeding the configured timeout limits, often caused by complex or inefficient queries.
MySQL Frequent Crashes or Restarts
The MySQL server crashing unexpectedly or restarting often, possibly due to hardware issues, configuration problems, or resource exhaustion.
MySQL Frequent Deadlocks
Frequent deadlocks occurring during transactions, causing failed queries and rollback operations.
MySQL Full Disk/Storage Issues
Running out of disk space due to large logs, binary logs, or unoptimized data storage, leading to service disruptions.
MySQL InnoDB Buffer Pool Issues
Inefficient use of the InnoDB buffer pool, leading to high disk I/O because of frequent page swapping.
MySQL Table/Index Fragmentation
Fragmented tables or indexes leading to slower performance due to inefficient data access paths. This can often be mitigated by running OPTIMIZE TABLE.
MySQL Disk I/O Bottlenecks
Slow disk performance, often caused by poorly optimized queries, large temporary tables, or inadequate indexing.
MySQL High CPU/Memory Usage
The MySQL server consuming excessive CPU or memory resources, leading to system performance degradation.
MySQL Connection Issues
Hitting the maximum number of connections or connection timeouts due to poor connection pool management or high concurrency.
MySQL Lock Contention
Queries getting stuck due to high contention for row or table-level locks, causing delays or timeouts.
MySQL Slow Queries
Queries taking much longer than expected, especially under load or during complex operations like joins or large scans.
