MySQLERRORNotableStored RoutinesHIGH confidence

Failed to CREATE stored procedure

Production Risk

Low — the routine will not be created; investigate storage.

What this means

ER_SP_STORE_FAILED (1471, SQLSTATE HY000) is raised when MySQL fails to persist a stored procedure to storage, typically due to I/O errors or schema corruption.

Why it happens
  1. 1Disk I/O error while writing to mysql.proc or the data dictionary
  2. 2Insufficient disk space
  3. 3Corruption in the mysql schema
How to reproduce
trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
CREATE PROCEDURE my_proc() BEGIN SELECT 1; END;
-- Fails with storage error

expected output

ERROR 1471 (HY000): Failed to store procedure my_proc

Fix

Check disk space and schema health

Check disk space and schema health
-- Check mysql schema:
CHECK TABLE mysql.proc;

-- Verify disk space and retry:
CREATE PROCEDURE my_proc() BEGIN SELECT 1; END;

Why this works

Resolving underlying I/O or disk space issues allows the routine to be stored successfully.
