MySQL Error 1589: Event Time in Past
Description
MySQL Error 1589 indicates an attempt to modify a scheduled event by setting its execution time to a date or time that has already passed. This error specifically triggers when the event is configured with `ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE`, meaning it's designed to be automatically dropped after its final execution. MySQL prevents this alteration to avoid creating an event that would immediately become invalid or be dropped without running.
Error Message
Event execution time is in the past and ON COMPLETION NOT PRESERVE is set. The event was not changed. Specify a time in the future.
Known Causes
4 known causesFuture Time Not Specified
The `STARTS` or `ENDS` clause in the `ALTER EVENT` statement was inadvertently set to a timestamp that predates the current system time.
Time Zone Mismatch
Discrepancies between the MySQL server's time zone and the client's or the intended schedule can cause a seemingly future time to be interpreted as past.
Reactivating Expired Event
An attempt was made to alter a one-time scheduled event that has already passed its execution time and is configured to not preserve itself.
Typographical Error in Schedule
A simple mistake in the date or time value provided in the `ALTER EVENT` statement resulted in a past timestamp.
