Issue

  • Liferay PaaS backup service will throw:
    ERROR 1227 (42000) at line XX: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation
    Where, on XX line, the below SQL command is present:
    CREATE DEFINER = `dbadmin` @ `localhost` PROCEDURE `getData` ()

Environment

  • Liferay PaaS

Resolution

  • Google Cloud SQL (underlying Liferay PaaS) does not allow add SUPER privilege to users.

    As a solution:

    - You should remove all DEFINE declarations, e.g. (DEFINER = `dbadmin` @` localhost`) from the dump file, or
    - Replace from DEFINER = `dbadmin` @` localhost` to DEFINER = `dxpcloud` @` %`
