Table ‘mysql.proc’ doesn’t exist

Table ‘mysql.proc’ doesn’t exist

After I was asked to create a stored procedure on a MySQL 5.0.45 installation last week, I received the following error:

ERROR 1146 at line 24: Table ‘mysql.proc’ doesn’t exist

The server had the default MySQL 4.1.20 that comes with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, and it was upgraded to MySQL 5.0.45. After the upgrade, the mysql_upgrade script wasn’t run, so the privilege tables were wrong, and the special tables for procedures and triggers did not exist.

To fix the problem, I ran:

# /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade

After about 20 seconds, the script completed and I was able to add a stored procedure without a problem.
