1615: Prepared statement needs to be re-prepared

MySQL

What does it mean?

Execution of a server-side prepared statement was rejected because it became invalid after the metadata it depends on (table/view definition) changed. The statement must be prepared again.

Why does it happen?

DDL (ALTER TABLE) on the underlying table after the statement was prepared, the table being recreated, the metadata cache filling up and evicting the entry, or table_definition_cache/table_open_cache limits that are too small. Common on systems with heavy DDL and in some ORM/pool scenarios.

How to fix it

Most client libraries catch this and re-prepare the statement automatically; in the application, catch this error and retry prepare + execute. If it recurs frequently, increase table_definition_cache and table_open_cache. Avoid unnecessary DDL during application traffic.
