This page discusses some of the error messages encountered in Cloud SQL.
Overview
Error messages in Cloud SQL come from many sources and appear in many places. Some error messages come from the database engines themselves, some from the Cloud SQL service, some from client applications, and some are returned by calls to the Cloud SQL Admin API.
This page includes some of the most common errors seen in Cloud SQL. If you don't find the error code or message you are looking for here, you can look for source reference material here:

| Failed to create subnetwork. | No more available addresses in the IP range.
Couldn't find free blocks in allocated IP ranges. Please allocate new ranges for this service provider. There are no more available addresses in the allocated IP range. Consider these possible scenarios:
For each of the previously listed scenarios, you can elect to either expand the existing or allocate an additional IP range to the private service connection. If you're allocating a new range, take care to not create an allocation that overlaps with any existing allocations. After creating a new IP range, update the VPC peering with the following command: gcloud services vpc-peerings update \ --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com --ranges=OLD_RESERVED_RANGE_NAME,NEW_RESERVED_RANGE_NAME \ --network=VPC_NETWORK --project=PROJECT_ID \ --force If you're expanding an existing allocation, take care to only increase the allocation range and not decrease it. For example, if the original allocation was 10.0.10.0/24, make the new allocation at least 10.0.10.0/23. In general, if starting from a /24 allocation, decrementing the /mask by 1 for each condition (additional instance type group, additional region) is a good rule of thumb. For example, if trying to create both instance type groups on the same allocation, going from /24 to /23 is enough. After expanding an existing IP range, update the vpc peering with following command: gcloud services vpc-peerings update \ --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com --ranges=RESERVED_RANGE_NAME \ --network=VPC_NETWORK \ --project=PROJECT_ID \ --force |
