If you’re getting an error that reads something like “ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 22: Table ‘Pets’ already exists” when trying to create a table in MariaDB, it’s most likely because there’s already a table in the database with the same name.
To fix this issue, either change the name of the table you’re trying to create, or check the existing table to see if it’s the one you actually need.

We have quite a few options when it comes to dealing with this issue.
Continue readingIf you get an error that reads “WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value” when using the ZMPOP or BZMPOP commands in Redis, it’s because you’re passing a key with the wrong data type.
To fix this issue, make sure you pass a sorted set to these commands.
Continue readingIf you’re getting an error that reads something like ‘currval of sequence “sequence1” is not yet defined in this session‘ when calling the currval() function in PostgreSQL, it’s probably because nextval() hasn’t yet been called for that sequence in the current session.
If you’re getting error 1298 that reads something like “ERROR 1298 (HY000): Unknown or incorrect time zone: ‘UTC’” in MySQL, it’s probably because you’re specifying a time zone name, but your MySQL installation hasn’t yet been configured for named time zones.
To fix this issue, be sure that your MySQL installation has been configured for named time zones.
Continue readingIf you’re getting an error that reads something like “lastval is not yet defined in this session” when calling the lastval() function in PostgreSQL, it’s probably because nextval() hasn’t yet been called in the current session.
If you want to avoid this error, only call the lastval() function when you know that nextval() has been called at least once in the current session.
If you’re getting error msg 237 that reads There is insufficient result space to convert a money value to int, it’s because you’re trying to convert a money value to an integer but the number’s too big to fit into an integer.
To fix this issue, make sure you convert the value to a data type that can handle the size of the number that you’re trying to convert.
Continue readingIf you’re getting an error that reads something like “Cannot DROP SEQUENCE ‘Sequence2’ because it is being referenced by object ‘DF__Dogs__DogId__6C190EBB’“, it could be because you’re trying to drop a sequence object that’s referenced by a DEFAULT constraint.
Sequences that are referenced by a DEFAULT constraint can’t be dropped until the DEFAULT constraint is dropped.
Therefore, to fix this issue, drop the DEFAULT constraint first.
If you get an error that reads “WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value” when using the ZREM command in Redis, it’s because you’re passing a key with the wrong data type.
To fix this issue, make sure that you pass a sorted set to the ZREM command.
If you’re getting an error that reads something like “START value (0) cannot be less than MINVALUE (1)” in PostgreSQL when you’re trying to create a sequence, it’s because your sequence’s start value is lower than its minimum value, when it should be at least the same or higher.
To fix this issue, be sure that the sequence’s start value is at least the same or greater than the minimum value.
