Note1: It has to be executed by a privileged user (root)

Note2: Replace my_user with your confluence database user

DELIMITER ;;  
CREATE DEFINER=\`my_user\`@\`%\` PROCEDURE \`content_permission_procedure_for_denormalised_permissions\`(OUT isServiceDisabled BOOL)

body: Dear [@jblanco](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131756) ,

I would like to confirm with you what confluence database user you mean in the Note 2.

I tried with the user who connects to database (the same who is in confluence.cfg.xml) because I understand that as my confluence database user. Unfortunately, I get another error message telling me that user does not exist.

Could you please clarify it?

confluence version: 7.19.16

Database: MySQL 8

Thank you in advance.

body: [@jblanco](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131756)I'm on Confluence 7.13.7 and had this issue after moving Confluence to different server and it worked!

body: I ran into this exact problem today and the above worked perfectly. Thanks [@jblanco](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1131756)


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Because it's the database that is missing stuff, not the application. Atlassian can't do it, the application needs the database to be reconfigured to support it and the data rebuilt to match the new configurations (restoring from the backup does that rebuild)


author: Jing Kang
body: why the solution(create procedures) delete?

or atlassian provide the way to re-create those missing procedures.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It's not the application that is failing here, it's the database not meeting the needs of the application. The database is also technically fine, it's just not capable of supporting the application in its current format.

You don't need a backup, you've got a perfectly valid database. As the doc says, dump that out, and restore it, then reconnect Confluence.


author: Jing Kang
body: Hi, Nic,

Thanks for the info. I read that solution before, but I don't have old back up any more.  
question:  
- any way/script to fix the procedure issue?

- if I do the site backup, and restore to a new instance, is it ok?

author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: OK, you've run into a known problem in upgrading MySQL, and there's a one-off fix - see <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/confluence-mysql-database-migration-causes-content_procedure_for_denormalised_permissions-does-not-exist-error-1072474724.html>

In the question you linked to, there's actually a second problem, in that the posters are mostly talking about Mariadb - while that mostly tends to work ok, it is not supported and should not be used for Confluence. It often causes unfixable problems, especially during upgrades, and can lead people in circles when errors like this one happen, as they spend ages trying to use MySQL fixes which don't quite apply to Maria and hence don't work.
