I have created a mysqldump --all-databases
and transferred all my databases to the new server. It didn't work as debian-sys-maint
users password didn't match. So I change the password of this user. After that I restart my server and got this error.
ERROR 1577 (HY000) at line 1: Cannot proceed because system tables used by Event Scheduler were found damaged at server start ERROR 1547 (HY000) at line 1: Column count of mysql.proc is wrong. Expected 20, found 16. The table is probably corrupted
I dont know how many more errors will come after this. So I thought create dump with only databases which are associated with my applications (mysqldump --databases
).
Now how do migrate the users? Is there any standard way?
New Server version: 5.1.63-0+squeeze1 (Debian)
Old Server version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny5 (Debian)
In cases where you need to transfer databases between different architectures, you can use mysqldump to create a file containing SQL statements. You can then transfer the file to the other machine and feed it as input to the mysql client. Use mysqldump --help to see what options are available.
With the MySQL Workbench Migration Wizard, users can convert an existing database to MySQL in minutes rather than hours or days that the same migration would require using traditional, manual methods. The Migration Wizard allows you to easily and quickly migrate databases from various RDBMS products to MySQL.
You probably need to run mysql_upgrade, since your MySql versions are different.
As a general rule, however, do not copy the mysql
system schema from one server to another. As a consequence, and as far as I know, there is no "standard" way of copying users and user privileges from one server to another.
If you really want/need to do it, try the following:
$> mysql --silent --skip-column-names -e"show grants for user@host"
The above outputs GRANT
statements that you can feed straight away into your target server to create the user and give the same authorisations.
However, if your target server is empty, you could just move the whole data folder from your old server to the new server, and then run the standard upgrade procedure from 5.0 to 5.1 on the new server.
