MYSQL_UPGRADE(1)	     MySQL Database System	      MYSQL_UPGRADE(1)

NAME
       mysql_upgrade - check and upgrade MySQL tables

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_upgrade [options]

DESCRIPTION
       mysql_upgrade examines all tables in all databases for
       incompatibilities with the current version of MySQL Server.
       mysql_upgrade also upgrades the system tables so that you can take
       advantage of new privileges or capabilities that might have been added.

       mysql_upgrade should be executed each time you upgrade MySQL.

       If mysql_upgrade finds that a table has a possible incompatibility, it
       performs a table check and, if problems are found, attempts a table
       repair. If the table cannot be repaired, see Section 2.10.4,
       “Rebuilding or Repairing Tables or Indexes” for manual table repair
       strategies.

	   Note
	   On Windows Server 2008, Vista, and newer, you must run
	   mysql_upgrade with administrator privileges. You can do this by
	   running a Command Prompt as Administrator and running the command.
	   Failure to do so may result in the upgrade failing to execute
	   correctly.

	   Caution
	   You should always back up your current MySQL installation before
	   performing an upgrade. See Section 7.2, “Database Backup Methods”.

	   Some upgrade incompatibilities may require special handling before
	   you upgrade your MySQL installation and run mysql_upgrade. See
	   Section 2.10.1, “Upgrading MySQL”, for instructions on determining
	   whether any such incompatibilities apply to your installation and
	   how to handle them.

       To use mysql_upgrade, make sure that the server is running, and then
       invoke it like this:

	   shell> mysql_upgrade [options]

       After running mysql_upgrade, stop the server and restart it so that any
       changes made to the system tables take effect.

       mysql_upgrade executes the following commands to check and repair
       tables and to upgrade the system tables:

	   mysqlcheck --all-databases --check-upgrade --auto-repair
	   mysql < fix_priv_tables
	   mysqlcheck --all-databases --check-upgrade --fix-db-names --fix-table-names

       Notes about the preceding commands:

       ·   Because mysql_upgrade invokes mysqlcheck with the --all-databases
	   option, it processes all tables in all databases, which might take
	   a long time to complete. Each table is locked and therefore
	   unavailable to other sessions while it is being processed. Check
	   and repair operations can be time-consuming, particularly for large
	   tables.

       ·   For details about what checks the --check-upgrade option entails,
	   see the description of the FOR UPGRADE option of the CHECK TABLE
	   statement (see Section 13.7.2.2, “CHECK TABLE Syntax”).

       ·   fix_priv_tables represents a script generated internally by
	   mysql_upgrade that contains SQL statements to upgrade the tables in
	   the mysql database.

       All checked and repaired tables are marked with the current MySQL
       version number. This ensures that next time you run mysql_upgrade with
       the same version of the server, it can tell whether there is any need
       to check or repair the table again.

       mysql_upgrade also saves the MySQL version number in a file named
       mysql_upgrade_info in the data directory. This is used to quickly check
       whether all tables have been checked for this release so that
       table-checking can be skipped. To ignore this file and perform the
       check regardless, use the --force option.

       If you install MySQL from RPM packages on Linux, you must install the
       server and client RPMs.	mysql_upgrade is included in the server RPM
       but requires the client RPM because the latter includes mysqlcheck.
       (See Section 2.5.3, “Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages”.)

       mysql_upgrade does not upgrade the contents of the help tables. For
       upgrade instructions, see Section 5.1.10, “Server-Side Help”.

       mysql_upgrade runs by default as the MySQL root user. If the root
       password is expired when you run mysql_upgrade, you will see a message
       that your password is expired and that mysql_upgrade failed as a
       result. To correct this, reset the root password to unexpire it and run
       mysql_upgrade again:

	   shell> mysql -u root -p
	   Enter password: ****	 <- enter root password here
	   mysql> SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('root-password');
	   mysql> quit
	   shell> mysql_upgrade

       mysql_upgrade supports the following options, which can be specified on
       the command line or in the [mysql_upgrade] and [client] groups of an
       option file. Other options are passed to mysqlcheck. For example, it
       might be necessary to specify the --password[=password] option.
       mysql_upgrade also supports the options for processing option files
       described at Section 4.2.3.4, “Command-Line Options that Affect Option-
       File Handling”.

       ·   --help

	   Display a short help message and exit.

       ·   --basedir=path

	   The path to the MySQL installation directory. This option is
	   accepted for backward compatibility but ignored. It is removed in
	   MySQL 5.7.

       ·   --datadir=path

	   The path to the data directory. This option is accepted for
	   backward compatibility but ignored. It is removed in MySQL 5.7.

       ·   --debug=debug_options, -# debug_options

	   Write a debugging log. A typical debug_options string is
	   d:t:O,file_name. The default is d:t:O,/tmp/mysql_upgrade.trace.

       ·   --debug-check

	   Print some debugging information when the program exits.

       ·   --debug-info, -T

	   Print debugging information and memory and CPU usage statistics
	   when the program exits.

       ·   --default-auth=plugin

	   The client-side authentication plugin to use. See Section 6.3.7,
	   “Pluggable Authentication”.

	   This option was added in MySQL 5.6.2.

       ·   --force

	   Ignore the mysql_upgrade_info file and force execution of
	   mysqlcheck even if mysql_upgrade has already been executed for the
	   current version of MySQL.

       ·   --plugin-dir=path

	   The directory in which to look for plugins. It may be necessary to
	   specify this option if the --default-auth option is used to specify
	   an authentication plugin but mysql_upgrade does not find it. See
	   Section 6.3.7, “Pluggable Authentication”.

	   This option was added in MySQL 5.6.2.

       ·   --tmpdir=path, -t path

	   The path name of the directory to use for creating temporary files.

       ·   --upgrade-system-tables, -s

	   Upgrade only the system tables, do not upgrade data.

       ·   --user=user_name, -u user_name

	   The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server. The
	   default user name is root.

       ·   --verbose

	   Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.

       ·   --version-check, -k

	   Check the version of the server to which mysql_upgrade is
	   connecting to verify that it is the same as the version for which
	   mysql_upgrade was built. If not, mysql_upgrade exits. This option
	   is enabled by default; to disable the check, use
	   --skip-version-check. This option was added in MySQL 5.6.12.

       ·   --write-binlog

	   Cause binary logging to be enabled while mysql_upgrade runs. In
	   MySQL 5.6.6 and earlier, this was the default behavior. (To disable
	   binary logging during the upgrade, it was necessary to use the
	   inverse of this option, by starting the program with
	   --skip-write-binlog.) Beginning with MySQL 5.6.7, binary logging by
	   mysql_upgrade is disabled by default (Bug #14221043), and you must
	   invoke the program explicitly with --write-binlog if you want its
	   actions to be written to the binary log. (Also beginning with MySQL
	   5.6.7, the --skip-write-binlog option effectively does nothing.)

	   Running mysql_upgrade is not recommended with a MySQL Server that
	   is running with global transaction identifiers enabled (Bug
	   #13833710). This is because enabling GTIDs means that any updates
	   which mysql_upgrade might need to perform on system tables using a
	   nontransactional storage engine such as MyISAM to fail. See
	   Section 16.1.3.4, “Restrictions on Replication with GTIDs”, for
	   more information.
