Cause

MySQL cannot create a temporary file for the result set in the temporary directory. This may be caused by Anti-virus MySQL from creating temporary files (.MYI files).

Resolution

Refer to the official MySQL documentation for information on how to fix this.

(info) It may require setting an exception for that directory in Anti-virus.
