Hello,

A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Community" by Bytesmiths. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/error-1932-on-a-table-with-recently-added-virtual-column/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list.

--------------------------------
Using version "10.1.0-MariaDB-log - Source distribution" on MacOS X Server 10.6.8 via phpMyAdmin 4.1.8 using raw SQL, I recently used ALTER TABLE to add a VIRTUAL column to a table that was the simple difference between two columns: "ALTER TABLE s_vehicle_log ADD COLUMN v_distance INT(5) AS (odometer - begin) AFTER odometer".

This first appeared to work; I could see the new column in phpMyAdmin and it appeared to have the proper values. But within an hour, I could no longer access that table.

Going into the mysql CLI, executing "SELECT count(*) FROM s_vehicle_log;" yields "ERROR 1932 (42S02): Table 'EcoReality.s_vehicle_log' doesn't exist in engine" (I do the same on other tables in the same database successfully.)

Going into the shell (bash), I can see the proper files, and they have the same perms as other tables that work properly:

# ls -l s_vehicle_*
-rw-rw----  1 _mysql  _mysql    1264 Feb 12 18:40 s_vehicle_cost.frm
-rw-rw----  1 _mysql  _mysql   98304 Feb 12 18:40 s_vehicle_cost.ibd
-rw-rw----  1 _mysql  _mysql    3796 Jul 15 15:56 s_vehicle_log.frm
-rw-rw----  1 _mysql  _mysql  688128 Jul 15 15:56 s_vehicle_log.ibd
-rw-rw----  1 _mysql  _mysql    2583 Feb 12 18:40 s_vehicle_monthly_query.frm

It is interesting that, though ERROR 1932 says the table doesn't exist, phpMyAdmin shows it in the list of tables, showing "in use" as its table type:

	s_vehicle_cost	Browse Browse	Structure Structure	Search Search	Insert Insert	Empty Empty	Drop Drop	~11	InnoDB	latin1_swedish_ci	16 KiB	-
	s_vehicle_log	Browse Browse	Structure Structure	Search Search	Insert Insert	Empty Empty	Drop Drop	in use

mysql SHOW TABLE STATUS isn't very helpful, either:

MariaDB [EcoReality]> show table status like 's_vehicle_%'
    -> ;

Looking at the most recent file that seems to be a binlog reveals nothing of interest; just phpMyAdmin logging queries about the damaged table:

# mysqlbinlog ../mysql-bin.000127 | fgrep s_vehicle_log

----------------

Anyone know what's going on, and what to do about it? (Besides "restore from backup," which is a bit old.)
