    Description

      This is a minimal example that triggers the error

          CREATE TABLE A (
            id bigint NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
          );
          
          CREATE TABLE B (
            what tinyint NOT NULL,
          
            a bigint NOT NULL,
          
            CONSTRAINT x FOREIGN KEY (a) REFERENCES A(id),
            CONSTRAINT y CHECK (what > 0)
          );
          
          
          SELECT b.a FROM B b;
          
          ALTER TABLE B DROP CONSTRAINT x;}}
      

      When i run this in a fresh MariaDB instance (docker mariadb:10.3.28) everything works fine.

      When MariaDB 10.3.29 was released the query suddenly broke. So, when i run this in a fresh MariaDB instance (docker mariadb:10.3.29) i get the following error message for the last statement:

      [42S22][1054] (conn=8) Unknown column '`db`.`b`.`what`' in 'CHECK'
      

      Some weird observations:

      • if i delete the y check and add it after dropping x everything works
      • if i remove the SELECT everything works
      • if i remove the alias `b` from the `SELECT` statement everything works
      • the b from the error message changes with the table alias from the SELECT statement
      • running the last statement again shows the same error
      • the error message makes no sense at all

      I initially posted this on stackexchange https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/291842/mariddb-10-3-29-prevents-me-from-deleting-a-foreign-key
