How to fix ERROR 1210: Incorrect arguments to function in MySQL

ERROR 1210 (HY000): Incorrect arguments to EXECUTE
ERROR 1210 (HY000): Incorrect arguments to DATA DIRECTORY

-- INCORRECT: 3 placeholders but only 2 arguments
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND status = ? AND role = ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @id, @status;  -- Only 2 variables

-- CORRECT: 3 placeholders and 3 arguments
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? AND status = ? AND role = ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @id, @status, @role;  -- All 3 variables

-- If function expects INT but you pass UNSIGNED INT
SET @unsigned_val = CAST(10 AS UNSIGNED);  -- UNSIGNED
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @unsigned_val;  -- May fail

-- Convert to match expected type
SET @signed_val = CAST(10 AS SIGNED);  -- SIGNED (default)
EXECUTE stmt USING @signed_val;  -- Should work

-- PROBLEMATIC
SET @u_rows = IFNULL(u_rows, 10);  -- May cause ERROR 1210 if u_rows is UNSIGNED
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @u_rows;

-- SOLUTION: Convert to SIGNED explicitly
SET @u_rows = CONVERT(IFNULL(u_rows, 10), SIGNED);
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @u_rows;  -- Should work

-- PROBLEMATIC
SET @u_rows = IFNULL(u_rows, 10);
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @u_rows;

-- ALTERNATIVE: Use separate SET and IF
SET @u_rows = u_rows;
IF @u_rows IS NULL THEN
  SET @u_rows = 10;
END IF;
PREPARE stmt FROM "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?";
EXECUTE stmt USING @u_rows;  -- More compatible

-- PROBLEMATIC: Too many placeholders with empty strings
PREPARE stmt FROM "INSERT INTO table VALUES (?, ?, ?, ...)";
-- With 65535 placeholders - may fail

-- SOLUTION: Split into multiple batches
-- Batch 1: First 60000 placeholders
PREPARE stmt1 FROM "INSERT INTO table VALUES (?, ?, ..., ?)";
EXECUTE stmt1 USING @val1, @val2, ..., @val60000;

-- Batch 2: Remaining values
PREPARE stmt2 FROM "INSERT INTO table VALUES (?, ?, ..., ?)";
EXECUTE stmt2 USING @val60001, ..., @valN;

# For Ubuntu/Debian (version incompatibility between client and server)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libmysqlclient21
# Or for development
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade libmysqlclient-dev

# Verify versions match
mysql --version
mysqldump --version

-- PROBLEMATIC: Invalid path format or unsupported argument
CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY
) DATA DIRECTORY = '/invalid/path/';

-- SOLUTION: Use valid paths and ensure table option is supported
-- Check MySQL docs for your version - DATA DIRECTORY may require specific configurations
CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT PRIMARY KEY
);
