Les commandes MySQL liées aux EVENTS (scheduler/cron sous MySQL)

-- Vérifier que la fonctionnalité scheduler est activée, sans quoi vos events ne sont pas exécutés
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'event_scheduler';
-- Activer le scheduler events
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;	# It is possible to set the Event Scheduler to DISABLED only at server startup. If event_scheduler is ON or OFF, you cannot set it to DISABLED at runtime. Also, if the Event Scheduler is set to DISABLED at startup, you cannot change the value of event_scheduler at runtime. 
 
-- Consulter la définition et exécutions des événements
-- SHOW SCHEDULER STATUS;	# uniquement MySQL 5.1.11, depuis MySQL 5.1.12, event scheduler status information can be obtained by running mysqladmin debug
SHOW EVENTS;	# à partir de MySQL 5.1.6.

Attention au relancement de votre serveur MySQL

Par défaut il se lance en event_scheduler : OFF, donc si vous l'activez en cours de route "SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;" et que vous rebootez, il sera désactivé.

Comment faire pour que les EVENTS soient activés dès le démarrage du serveur MySQL ? En configurant votre option event-scheduler = ON dans la section [mysqld]

# Ajout des EVENTS activés au boot
event-scheduler = ON

Attention aux dumps avec mysqldump

Par défaut seul le dump des triggers est activé :

~# mysqldump --help| grep routine
  -R, --routines      Dump stored routines (functions and procedures).
routines                          FALSE
~# mysqldump --help| grep event
  -E, --events        Dump events.
events                            FALSE
~# mysqldump --help| grep trigger
  --triggers          Dump triggers for each dumped table.
triggers                          TRUE

Etant donné que vous utilisez désormais les EVENT MySQL il faudra rajouter dans vos dumps l'option (-E ou --events) à mysqldump.
