After upgrading my MySQL database server from version 5.0.95 to 5.1.61 I suddenly got these errors in the backup logging.
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'SELECT /*!40001 SQL_NO_CACHE */ * FROM `EVENTS`': Cannot proceed because system tables used by Event Scheduler were found damaged at server start (1577) dbdump gave errorcode 2 for database 'information_schema' 2012-08-09 09:07:53 -> Finished MySQL backup on host 'xxx.tonkersten.com'
Hmm, no idea what has happened. I hope I didn’t do something stupid.
