Description:
I made all databases dump with  mysqldump utility (with --all-database and with option to dump events (--events) . Following after that dump restoration does not created any events.

However, the same procedure with only one base was successsfull - DB restored from one-base-dump with all needed events.

And both dumps have events data in it's body.

How to repeat:
mysqldump --all-databases --single-transaction --events -d > somedump.sql

mysql < somedump.sql

use <database with events>
Database changed
mysql> show events;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
I walk-around it with dumping and restoring one by one all databases with events, after restoring all-databases dump.

Thank you for the report.

I can not repeat described behavior. Please specify which exact MySQL package do you use (file name you downloaded), provide example of one of events which was not saved and full server error log file from both backup and restore servers. Would be good if you also check dump file for existence of events.

Hi!

>> Please specify which exact MySQL package do you use (file name you downloaded)

I used MySql from remi repository. OS: CentOS 5.9 x64

mysql.x86_64 5.5.30-1.el5.remi
mysql-server.x86_64 5.5.30-1.el5.remi
Percona-Server-shared-compat.x86_64 5.5.30-rel30.1.465.rhel5

>>provide example of one of events which was not saved

All events creating (or droping) partitions:

mysql> show create event m_partitions \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
               Event: m_partitions
            sql_mode: NO_DIR_IN_CREATE
           time_zone: SYSTEM
        Create Event: CREATE DEFINER=`idp`@`localhost` EVENT `m_partitions` ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 DAY STARTS '2011-01-01 23:59:00' ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE ENABLE DO BEGIN
    DECLARE new_partition CHAR(32) DEFAULT
      CONCAT ('p_', DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 5 DAY), '%Y%m%d'));
    DECLARE max_day INTEGER DEFAULT TO_DAYS(NOW()) +5;

    SET @s =
      CONCAT('ALTER TABLE messages ADD PARTITION (PARTITION ', new_partition,
      ' VALUES LESS THAN (', max_day, '))');
    PREPARE stmt FROM @s;
    EXECUTE stmt;
  END
character_set_client: utf8

There is no errors in logs of the backup server. It have only some master-slave network errors. Some warning in restored server log:

Thank you for the feedback.

I can not repeat described behavior with provided event as well.

Please try with Oracle's version of MySQL available at dev.mysql.com/downloads to ensure this is problem of MySQL and not its ports and forks.

Atm i have only an opportunity to test on my desktop PC. Results are the same:

MySql resore server: 5.5.29

Backup (only structure and events) made with:
mysqldump -d --all-databases --events --single-transaction -uroot > idp4m9.sql

Backup only one DB (only structure and events) made with:
mysqldump -d --events --single-transaction -uroot idp > idp4m9idp.sql

Both backups have event data:

I made the same actions on restored PC - backup, drop, restore again. All bases and only one, with events. Everything as i described before.

Thank you for the feedback.

Could you please send us mysqldump file of all databases and full MySQL server error log file?

If issue is repeatable on test instance with minimum database objects it would be enough: I want to compare your dump file with one which I create in my environment and which re-creates the event successfully.

Thank you for the script.

Problem is: mysqldump has query DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `events` in mysql database after event creation. I could not repeat issue before, because tested with database `test`.

Yet another workaround: don't backup mysql database if use option --events

Verified as described.
