Hi,
try this: SET GLOBAL max_prepared_stmt_count = 200000;
It will fix your problem.

Description:
I deployed my Laravel application on Hostinger shared hosting, and everything runs fine locally. However, after deployment, I'm getting the following database error:
SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1461 Can't create more than max_prepared_stmt_count statements (current value: 100000)
From what I understand, this error is related to the maximum number of prepared statements allowed by the MySQL server. Since I’m on shared hosting, I don’t have permission to increase the max_prepared_stmt_count setting manually.
Things I’ve tried:
php artisan config:cache and php artisan route:cacheDespite these steps, the issue persists.
Has anyone else faced this issue on Hostinger or other shared hosting environments? Is there a Laravel-specific workaround or optimization I can apply to avoid hitting this limit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
