mysql-routines

I have added the following simple test event on my mysql database via phpmyadmin: CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` EVENT `my_event` ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 MINUTE STARTS '2013-05-27 00:00:00' ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE ENABLE DO BEGIN UPDATE `test` SET `name`="z"; END My environment is mac + MAMP Pro. I am expecting to change all rows on my 'test' table with name 'z' within a minute. But not happening so. Do I have to something additional to get my events start working? Output of "SHOW PROCESSLIST": Thanks. Events are run by the scheduler, which is not started by default. Using SHOW PROCESSLIST

I have this stored procedure. How can I run this for example with intervals of 5 seconds? Like a routine for eliminate data with a time-stamp older than one day? DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `delete_rows_links` GO CREATE PROCEDURE delete_rows_links BEGIN DELETE activation_link FROM activation_link_password_reset WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(DAY, `time`, NOW()) < 1 ; END GO zerkms You can use mysql scheduler to run it each 5 seconds. You can find samples at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-event.html Never used it but I hope this would work: CREATE EVENT myevent ON SCHEDULE EVERY 5 SECOND DO
