unable to open databaseSQL

sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file

SQLite couldn’t open or create the database file — wrong path or missing/unwritable directory.

readonly databaseSQL

sqlite3.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database

The process can’t write to the SQLite file or its directory.

GROUP BYSQL

Column must appear in the GROUP BY clause / isn't in GROUP BY (MySQL 1055 only_full_group_by)

You selected a column that is neither grouped nor aggregated, so the result would be ambiguous.

1136SQL

MySQL ERROR 1136 (21S01): Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

An INSERT supplies a different number of values than columns.

SQLITE_BUSYSQL

sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked (SQLITE_BUSY)

Another connection holds a write lock on the SQLite file, and this one gave up waiting.

ambiguous columnSQL

Column reference is ambiguous / Column 'id' in field list is ambiguous (MySQL 1052)

A column name exists in more than one joined table, so the database doesn’t know which one you mean.

SQLite FK failedSQL

sqlite3.IntegrityError: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed

An insert/update/delete violated a foreign key in SQLite (with PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON).

1248SQL

MySQL ERROR 1248 (42000): Every derived table must have its own alias

A subquery in FROM wasn’t given an alias.

T-SQL couldn’t parse the statement near the shown token.

1064MySQL

MySQL ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax

MySQL couldn’t parse the query. The text after “near” shows where parsing failed.

malformed databaseSQL

sqlite3.DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed

The SQLite file is corrupted.

aggregate in WHERESQL

ERROR: aggregate functions are not allowed in WHERE (use HAVING) / MySQL 1111 Invalid use of group function

An aggregate (SUM, COUNT, AVG) was used in WHERE, which filters rows before grouping.

Two steps away (30)

FileNotFoundErrorPython

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data.csv'

Python couldn’t find the file at that path — usually because relative paths resolve from the working directory, not the script.

SQLite no such columnSQL

sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: x

SQLite can’t find the column — missing migration, typo, or a string written in double quotes.

No space left on device (inodes)Linux

No space left on device, but df shows free space (inodes exhausted)

The filesystem has run out of inodes — the slots for files — even though there are gigabytes free, usually because of millions of…

EACCESLinux

Linux: Permission denied

Your user (or the service user) lacks read/write/execute permission on a file, directory or one of its parents.

SQLite UNIQUE failedSQL

sqlite3.IntegrityError: UNIQUE constraint failed: users.email

An insert/update duplicated a value in a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY column in SQLite.

SQLite NOT NULL failedSQL

sqlite3.IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: table.column

A NULL went into a NOT NULL column in SQLite.

Subquery returns more than 1 rowSQL

Subquery returns more than 1 row (MySQL 1242) / more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression

A subquery used where a single value is expected (`= (SELECT …)`) returned several rows.

Division by zeroSQL

SQL Error: division by zero / Divide by zero error encountered

An expression divided by a value that was 0 for at least one row.

42601PostgreSQL

ERROR: syntax error at or near "x"

PostgreSQL couldn’t parse the SQL; the token shown is where parsing failed.

missing FROM-clausePostgreSQL

ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "x"

The query references a table/alias that isn’t in the FROM clause (or uses the wrong alias).

ORA-00933SQL

ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

Oracle found extra clauses or syntax it doesn’t support at the end of a statement.

1066SQL

MySQL ERROR 1066 (42000): Not unique table/alias: 'x'

The same table or alias appears twice in a FROM/JOIN without distinct aliases.

DeadlockSQL

Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

Two transactions waited on each other’s locks; the database killed one so the other could continue.

Lock wait timeoutSQL

Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction (MySQL 1205)

A query waited too long for a row lock held by another transaction and gave up.

1213MySQL

MySQL ERROR 1213 (40001): Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

MySQL detected a deadlock between two transactions and rolled one back.

1054MySQL

The query references a column that doesn’t exist in the table (or an unquoted string being read as a column).

42703PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL: ERROR: column "x" does not exist

PostgreSQL can’t find the column — a missing migration, a case-sensitive quoted name, or a string literal written in double quote…

A window function (ROW_NUMBER, RANK, LAG) was filtered directly in WHERE.

1452MySQL

MySQL ERROR 1452: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails

You inserted/updated a row whose foreign key value doesn’t exist in the referenced parent table.

547SQL

SQL Server: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint 'x'. (Msg 547)

The row references a parent that doesn’t exist (or a DELETE would orphan children).

1222SQL

MySQL ERROR 1222 (21000): The used SELECT statements have a different number of columns

The SELECTs combined with UNION return different numbers of columns.

2627SQL

SQL Server: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'x'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'y'. (Msg 2627)

An insert duplicated a primary key or unique constraint value.

245SQL

SQL Server: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'x' to data type int. (Msg 245)

A MySQLi query or connection failed; since PHP 8.1 MySQLi throws exceptions by default.

corrupt objectGit

error: object file .git/objects/x is empty / fatal: loose object is corrupt

The local Git object database is corrupted — usually after a crash, disk full or sync tool interference.

126 incorrect key fileMySQL

MySQL ERROR 126 (HY000): Incorrect key file for table; try to repair it

MySQL can’t use a table’s index file — usually a full tmp disk during a query, or MyISAM corruption.

recursion limitSQL

Msg 530: The statement terminated. The maximum recursion 100 has been exhausted before statement completion. / MySQL 3636 Recursive query aborted after 1001 iterations

A recursive CTE exceeded the database’s recursion limit — often an infinite loop in hierarchical data.
