Failed to ALTER PROCEDURE

Production Risk

Medium — routine metadata may be in an inconsistent state.

What this means

ALTER PROCEDURE or ALTER FUNCTION failed and MySQL could not restore the previous state.

Why it happens
  1. 1Disk full or I/O error during the alter
  2. 2Insufficient privileges
  3. 3Corrupt data dictionary entry
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
ALTER PROCEDURE my_proc SQL SECURITY INVOKER;

expected output

ERROR 1326 (HY000): Failed to ALTER PROCEDURE my_proc; restore previous state

Fix 1

Check disk space and privileges

Check disk space and privileges
SHOW GRANTS FOR CURRENT_USER();

Why this works

Ensures the user has ALTER ROUTINE privilege.

Fix 2

Drop and recreate the routine

Drop and recreate the routine
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS my_proc; CREATE PROCEDURE my_proc() ...

Why this works

Atomic replacement avoids partial state.
