Today’s interesting MySQL Error Message

You have to love error messages some times. Today in MySQL is was “ERROR 1289 (HY000): The ‘UNKNOWN’ feature is disabled;”

What was even more interesting is the error message and indeed the error number changed across different versions. I took the time to also review the error in the current versions of 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0.

5.0.37/5.0.51a – ERROR 1289 (HY000): The ‘InnoDB’ feature is disabled; you need MySQL built with ‘InnoDB’ to have it working
5.1.19/5.1.23/6.0.4 – ERROR 1286 (42000): Unknown table engine ‘InnoDB’
6.0.0 – ERROR 1289 (HY000): The ‘UNKNOWN’ feature is disabled; you need MySQL built with ‘UNKNOWN’ to have it working
