MARIADB-UPGRADE(1) MariaDB Database System MARIADB-UPGRADE(1) NAME mariadb-upgrade - check tables for MariaDB upgrade (mariadb-upgrade is now a symlink to mariadb-upgrade) SYNOPSIS mariadb-upgrade [options] DESCRIPTION mariadb-upgrade examines all tables in all databases for incompatibilities with the current version of the MariaDB Server. mariadb-upgrade also upgrades the system tables so that you can take advantage of new privileges or capabilities that might have been added. mariadb-upgrade should be executed each time you upgrade MariaDB. If a table is found to have a possible incompatibility, mariadb-upgrade performs a table check. If any problems are found, a table repair is attempted. Note On Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, you must run mariadb- 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 MariaDB installation before performing an upgrade. To use mariadb-upgrade, make sure that the server is running, and then invoke it like this: shell> mariadb-upgrade [options] After running mariadb-upgrade, stop the server and restart it so that any changes made to the system tables take effect. mariadb-upgrade executes the following commands to check and repair tables and to upgrade the system tables: mariadb-check --all-databases --check-upgrade --auto-repair mariadb < fix_priv_tables mariadb-check --all-databases --check-upgrade --fix-db-names --fix-table-names Notes about the preceding commands: • Because mariadb-upgrade invokes mariadb-check 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. • fix_priv_tables represents a script generated internally by mariadb-upgrade that contains SQL statements to upgrade the tables in the mysql database. All checked and repaired tables are marked with the current MariaDB version number. This ensures that next time you run mariadb-upgrade with the same version of the server, it can tell whether there is any need to check or repair the table again. mariadb-upgrade also saves the MariaDB version number in a file named mariadb-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. For this reason, mariadb-upgrade needs to be run as a user with write access to the data directory. If you install MariaDB from RPM packages on Linux, you must install the server and client RPMs. mariadb-upgrade is included in the server RPM but requires the client RPM because the latter includes mariadb-check. mariadb-upgrade supports the following options, which can be specified on the command line or in the [mariadb-upgrade] and [client] option file groups. Other options are passed to mariadb-check. For example, it might be necessary to specify the --password[=password] option. mariadb-upgrade also supports the options for processing option files. • --help, -? Display a short help message and exit. • --basedir=path Old option accepted for backward compatibility but ignored. • --character-sets-dir=path Old option accepted for backward compatibility but ignored. • --check-if-upgrade-is-needed Exit with a status code indicating if an upgrade is needed. Returns 0 if upgrade needed or current version couldn't be determined, 1 when no action required. • --datadir=path Old option accepted for backward compatibility but ignored. • --debug=path, -# path For debug builds, output debug log. • --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-character-set=name Old option accepted for backward compatibility but ignored. • --force Ignore the mariadb-upgrade_info file and force execution of mariadb-check even if mariadb-upgrade has already been executed for the current version of MariaDB. • --host Connect to MariaDB on the given host. • --password[=password], -p[password] The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (-p), you cannot have a space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following the --password or -p option on the command line, mariadb-upgrade prompts for one. Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line. • --port=port_num, -P port_num The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection. • --protocol={TCP|SOCKET|PIPE|MEMORY} The connection protocol to use for connecting to the server. It is useful when the other connection parameters normally would cause a protocol to be used other than the one you want. • --silent Print less information. • --socket=path, -S path For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use, or, on Windows, the name of the named pipe to use. • --ssl Enable SSL for connection (automatically enabled with other flags). Disable with --skip-ssl. • --ssl-ca=name CA file in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-capath=name CA directory (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-cert=name X509 cert in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-cipher=name SSL cipher to use (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-key=name X509 key in PEM format (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-crl=name Certificate revocation list (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-crlpath=name Certificate revocation list path (check OpenSSL docs, implies --ssl). • --ssl-verify-server-cert Verify server's "Common Name" in its cert against hostname used when connecting. This option is disabled by default. • --tmpdir=path, -t path The path name of the directory to use for creating temporary files. • --upgrade-system-tables, -s Only upgrade the system tables in the mysql database. Tables in other databases are not checked or touched. • --user=user_name, -u user_name The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server and not using the current login. • --verbose Display more output about the process. Using it twice will print connection arguments; using it 3 times will print out all CHECK, RENAME and ALTER TABLE commands used during the check phase; using it 4 times (added in MariaDB 10.0.14) will also write out all mariadb-check commands used; using it 5 times will print all the mariadb commands used and their results while running mariadb-fix- privilege-tables script. • --version, -V Output version information and exit. • --version-check, -k Run this program only if its 'server version' matches the version of the server to which it's connecting. Note: the 'server version' of the program is the version of the MariaDB server with which it was built/distributed. Defaults to on; use --skip-version-check to disable. • --write-binlog Cause binary logging to be enabled while mariadb-upgrade runs.
