[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: mysql-server-core-5.5
Version: 5.5.41-0+wheezy1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Not sure what's going on here:
Jan 24 13:12:15 xwis mysqld_safe[6010]: 150124 13:12:15 InnoDB: 5.5.41 started; log sequence number 13655283
Jan 24 13:12:15 xwis mysqld_safe[6010]: ERROR: 1064  You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ALTER TABLE user ADD column Show_view_priv enum('N','Y') CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT ' at line 1
Jan 24 13:12:15 xwis mysqld_safe[6010]: 150124 13:12:15 [ERROR] Aborting
Jan 24 13:12:15 xwis mysqld_safe[6010]: 
Jan 24 13:12:15 xwis mysqld_safe[6010]: 150124 13:12:15  InnoDB: Starting shutdown...

BTW, MySQL is quite noisy w.r.t. syslog.

Greetings,

Olaf
