MySQL 1059

This error occurs when an identifier name exceeds the maximum length of 64 characters in MySQL. It is a syntax error and the query will not be executed.

How It Affects Your App

The error can prevent the application from running properly as it indicates that the identifier name used is too long. This can cause the application to crash or not function as expected. It can also lead to data corruption or data loss as the application may not be able to access the database correctly. In addition, it can lead to security issues as the application may not be able to properly authenticate users.
