On my computer running Ubuntu 18.04, MriaDB stopped working. PHP application i run on my computer failed with error
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'ok_test.feeds' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `feeds` where `processed` = 0)
Application can’t find the table. So i tried to login to MySQL and see if table is there or not. But i get error
boby@sok-01:~$ mysql Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Next i checked if this is due to any MySQL upgrade. I found MySQL got updated today

To fix this error, run
systemctl edit mysql
This wil open a text editor. Add following
[Service] LimitNOFILE=8192
Save and quit the editor. Restart MaraDB with
systemctl restart mysql
MySQL will work properly now. systemctl edit mysql will create file /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service.d/override.conf
root@sok-01:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service.d/override.conf [Service] LimitNOFILE=8192 root@sok-01:~#
