From 27134cbd28f106e1549b02f931006f6f7efda88f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anirudh Mangipudi Date: Fri, 9 Nov 2012 15:15:16 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] BUG#11762933: MYSQLDUMP WILL SILENTLY SKIP THE `EVENT` TABLE DATA IF DUMPS MYSQL DATABA Problem: If mysqldump is run without --events (or with --skip-events) it will not dump the mysql.event table's data. This behaviour is inconsistent with that of --routines option, which does not affect the dumping of mysql.proc table. According to the Manual, --events (--skip-events) defines, if the Event Scheduler events for the dumped databases should be included in the mysqldump output and this has nothing to do with the mysql.event table itself. Solution: A warning has been added when mysqldump is used without --events (or with --skip-events) and a separate patch with the behavioral change will be prepared for 5.6/trunk. --- client/mysqldump.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/client/mysqldump.c b/client/mysqldump.c index 3fda1fafc24..316c0fd174c 100644 --- a/client/mysqldump.c +++ b/client/mysqldump.c @@ -3393,7 +3393,8 @@ static void dump_table(char *table, char *db) if (!opt_events && !my_strcasecmp(&my_charset_latin1, db, "mysql") && !my_strcasecmp(&my_charset_latin1, table, "event")) { - verbose_msg("-- Skipping data table mysql.event, --skip-events was used\n"); + fprintf(stderr, "-- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event." + " Specify the --events option explicitly.\n"); DBUG_VOID_RETURN; }
