> This error is more common in MariaDB 11.8 and later due to changes in snapshot isolation behavior. For more information, see the [upgrade guide](/docs/server/server-management/install-and-upgrade-mariadb/upgrading/mariadb-community-server-upgrade-paths/upgrading-from-mariadb-11-4-to-mariadb-11-8.md) and [innodb\_snapshot\_isolation](/docs/server/server-usage/storage-engines/innodb/innodb-system-variables.md#innodb_snapshot_isolation) pages.

## Possible Causes and Solutions

When InnoDB returns this error, it results in a **full transaction rollback**, not just a statement rollback. For that reason, this error should be treated similarly to a deadlock ([ER\_LOCK\_DEADLOCK](/docs/server/reference/error-codes/mariadb-error-codes-1200-to-1299/e1213.md)) or a lock wait timeout ([ER\_LOCK\_WAIT\_TIMEOUT](/docs/server/reference/error-codes/mariadb-error-codes-1200-to-1299/e1205.md)).

Try restarting the transaction.
