why i can not create event in mysql - mysql

Question

I am trying to create event for one of my database using below code,
use testing;
show events;
show warnings;
set global event_scheduler =on;
DELIMITER $$
create event table_backup_testingTo_test on schedule every 1 day
starts '2015-10-14 16:40:00'
do
select * into test.event_table_testing from testing.manitest;
DELIMITER $$
After run this code if i check in show events then there is no event in the name of table_backup_testingTo_test
where am i doing mistake?
Note : I am using mysql workbench 6.3

Answer 1

You change the delimiter, but actually never finish a statement with it. And after the multiple statements you should change the delimiter back to default. In your case you don't need a delimiter at all, since it's just one statement. Try like this:
DELIMITER ; /*assuming it's still set to $$*/
use testing;
show events;
show warnings;
set global event_scheduler =on;
create event table_backup_testingTo_test on schedule every 1 day
starts '2015-10-14 16:40:00'
do
select * into test.event_table_testing from testing.manitest;
Or, if you have multiple statements in your event:
use testing;
show events;
show warnings;
set global event_scheduler =on;
DELIMITER $$
create event table_backup_testingTo_test on schedule every 1 day
starts '2015-10-14 16:40:00'
do
begin
select * into test.event_table_testing from testing.manitest;
select 'we have multiple statements here';
end $$
DELIMITER ;
