I'm trying to copy data from one MySQL database to another on a different server using Navicat for MySQL. However, I keep getting this error when I try to do the transfer. I've run mysql_upgrade already and it completed, but I'm still getting this error. The old server was using WampServer for Apache, MySQL and PHP.

How can I fix this so I am able to do the data transfer??

EDIT Nevermind... I'm an idiot; just had to restart MySQL (you would think it would take place automatically!)

Try running following commands and then restart your mysql service later.

mysqlcheck -u [username] -p --all-databases --check-upgrade --auto-repair
mysql_upgrade -u [username] -p

If still has issues drop event table and create again, then restart.

DROP TABLE event;

Find event table definition from mysql_system_tables.sql file. For me its in following location: /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql_system_tables.sql

Mysql 5.1 event table definition:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `event`;
CREATE TABLE `event` (
  `db` char(64) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `name` char(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `body` longblob NOT NULL,
  `definer` char(77) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `execute_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `interval_value` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `interval_field` enum('YEAR','QUARTER','MONTH','DAY','HOUR','MINUTE','WEEK','SECOND','MICROSECOND','YEAR_MONTH','DAY_HOUR','DAY_MINUTE','DAY_SECOND','HOUR_MINUTE','HOUR_SECOND','MINUTE_SECOND','DAY_MICROSECOND','HOUR_MICROSECOND','MINUTE_MICROSECOND','SECOND_MICROSECOND') DEFAULT NULL,
  `created` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',

  • if mysql version is bigger than 5.6 you may need to add "SET SQL_MODE='ALLOW_INVALID_DATES';" before drop command. `modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00', column will trigger error, because default zero filled time is no more allowed. – Sinan Eldem Dec 11 '19 at 17:16

Using Navicat 15, I found that just unticking 'Compare events' under 'Options' on the screen for selection of Source and Target allowed the structure synch to proceed unhindered. I don't use events, so not synchronising them is okay.
