SYNOPSIS

9       mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=root_password
10

DESCRIPTION

12           Note
13           In MySQL 5.1.7, mysql_fix_privilege_tables was superseded by
14           mysql_upgrade, which should be used instead. See mysql_upgrade(1).
15
16       Some releases of MySQL introduce changes to the structure of the system
17       tables in the mysql database to add new privileges or support new
18       features. When you update to a new version of MySQL, you should update
19       your system tables as well to make sure that their structure is up to
20       date. Otherwise, there might be capabilities that you cannot take
21       advantage of.
22
23       mysql_fix_privilege_tables is an older script that previously was used
24       to upgrade the system tables in the mysql database after a MySQL
25       upgrade.
26
27       Before running mysql_fix_privilege_tables, make a backup of your mysql
28       database.
29
30       On Unix or Unix-like systems, update the system tables by running the
31       mysql_fix_privilege_tables script:
32
33           shell> mysql_fix_privilege_tables
34
35       You must run this script while the server is running. It attempts to
36       connect to the server running on the local host as root. If your root
37       account requires a password, indicate the password on the command line
38       like this:
39
40           shell> mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=root_password
41
42       The mysql_fix_privilege_tables script performs any actions necessary to
43       convert your system tables to the current format. You might see some
44       Duplicate column name warnings as it runs; you can ignore them.
45
46       After running the script, stop the server and restart it so that any
47       changes made to the system tables take effect.
48
49       On Windows systems, MySQL distributions include a
50       mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql SQL script that you can run using the
51       mysql client. For example, if your MySQL installation is located at
52       C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1, the commands look like this:
53
54           C:\> cd "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1"
55           C:\> bin\mysql -u root -p mysql
56           mysql> SOURCE share/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql
57
58
59           Note
60           Prior to version 5.1.17, the mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script
61           is found in the scripts directory.
62
63       The mysql command will prompt you for the root password; enter it when
64       prompted.
65
66       If your installation is located in some other directory, adjust the
67       path names appropriately.
68
69       As with the Unix procedure, you might see some Duplicate column name
70       warnings as mysql processes the statements in the
71       mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script; you can ignore them.
72
73       After running the script, stop the server and restart it.
