Answer 1

1.You should probably look if your table exist. 2. If you are inserting data from one table to another table with a statement like, Insert into table_A select * from table_B, in this if there is any column mismatch, you will encounter this error.

Answer 2

Having the same issue with a raw download binary.

Comes with this error when trying to run any mysqld :

[ERROR] Can't find error-message file

Solved it by specifying --lc_messages_dir .

Examples:

mysqld --console --datadir ~/.mysqldata --lc_messages_dir=$MYSQL_HOME/share/english --initialize-insecure 
mysqld --console --datadir ~/.mysqldata --lc_messages_dir=$MYSQL_HOME/share/english

Answer 3

Following two steps will help you out:

1. if you have copied the mysql data, Go to the original directory xampp/mysql/data ( or whatever is relevant to your OS), and copy all the files starting with word ib, like ib_logfil0 etc. and paste to the new directory.

2. Go to mysql command line, and run this command:

mysql_upgrade
