Via phpmyadmin I dropped the column ‘tidbitz’ from a table.
Now any time I try to write to that table I get this error. The column is gone and it’s not included in any of the queries that I am running. I know the syntax is correct for my queries. I can’t even edit data using phpmyadmin, I still get this error.
I have tried: restarting the mysql server, restarting apache, defragmenting and optimizing the table…
Why is this ghost column sticking around?
I ended up fixing my problem by creating another identical table, writing all of the data from table one to table two, dropping table one, and renaming table two to table one.
So, the problem is fixed, but I’m still curious to know if anyone has encountered this before and what the root cause is.
Thanks!
