What is

MySQL 1175: Statement not allowed in schema.

 ?

When encountering the MySQL error "1175: Statement not allowed in schema," the user is likely attempting to update or delete records in a table without specifying a WHERE clause that uses a key column or without enabling safe mode updates. This safety feature prevents accidental updates or deletions of large numbers of rows.

Immediate action to take:

  1. Check the Query: Ensure your UPDATE or DELETE operation includes a specific WHERE clause that limits the number of rows affected. This is crucial to avoid accidentally modifying or removing more data than intended.



  1. Enable Safe Mode Updates Temporarily (Session-Level): If you are aware of the risks and your operation is intentional, you can temporarily disable the safe mode for your current session to execute the query. Use the following SQL command to do so:


SET SQLSAFEUPDATES = 0;
After running your UPDATE or DELETE command, you should re-enable safe mode by setting it back to 1:
SET SQLSAFEUPDATES = 1;

  1. Understand the Error Context: If your operation already includes a specific WHERE clause, ensure it is using indexed columns or is correctly formulated to affect the intended rows.



These actions allow for immediate resolution or bypass of the error while ensuring the user maintains awareness of the operations being performed on the database.

Attached error:
