mysql schema 用户,Mysql错误：尝试转储表空间时，指定为定义者的用户（'mysql.infoschema'@'localhost'）不存在'...

After I upgraded MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0, I started MySQL again and I got an error:The user specified as a definer ('mysql.infoschema'@'localhost') does not exist' when trying to dump tablespaces.

I don't understand why this problem occurs. And I want to know how to solve it

解决方案

I had the same error when I accidentally downgraded my MySQL version from 8 to 5.7. At the first start the older version broke something so that version 8 was showing the error above.

In my case I had to enter the docker container where MySQL was running first

docker exec -it mysql bash

Then I basically followed the steps here

mysql -u root -p

mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 1;

mysql_upgrade -u root -p

This took some minutes but then everything was working again.
