MySQL 5.7: Unknown column 'password' in 'field list'

[Preetam]

I'm getting the following on MySQL 5.7:

ERROR 1054 (42S22) at line 12498 in file: 'structure/common-schema.sql': Unknown column 'password' in 'field list'

Looks like they renamed the password column to authentication_string.

[solomonty]

I installed version 2.3 on a 5.6 master and replication failed on a 5.7 slave.

@Preetam @solomonty What specific versions of 5.7 are you using?

[Preetam]

I believe 5.7.11 right now.

[ikewalker]

@Preetam is that 5.7.11 Community? It looks like Percona Server may still have the password column in the mysql.user table, but Community version does not.

[Preetam]

Yes, MySQL Community. We're not using Percona Server.

[solomonty]

@ikewalker Percona Server 5.7.11. It is a superset of MySQL Community.

[solomonty]

The installation fails on Percona Server 5.7.11.

# mysql < common_schema-2.3.sql 
ERROR 1054 (42S22) at line 12498: Unknown column 'password' in 'field list'

[grypyrg]

@solomonty : Yeah, installing common_schema on 5.6 and having slaves in 5.7 will break replication as the view _sql_accounts_base for example is a select on mysql.user where there is a big schema difference between versions.

[grypyrg]

How can we solve this permanently (and bring 5.7 support)?
Quick thoughts:

• skip replication during installation of common_schema SQL_LOG_BIN=0. Can we do this? Will it cause more things to break if a replica does not have (the same) common_schema?
• add a mysql version check in common schema for this view (and maybe other views) (I'm quite new to the code, and couldn't find anything immediately, are there any checks like this already somewhere?)

[ikewalker]

I'll try updating the code for _sql_accounts_base to check whether the password column exists or not, and use the authentication_string column in its place if password does not exist.

[ikewalker]

Created PR #12

[tersmitten]

Any progress on this @ikewalker?

[minluo94587]

Has the issue been fixed yet? We need run common_schema 2.3 on MySQL 5.7, but hit the same issue.

[majost-colombia]

Hi, i'm getting the same error on mysql 5.7.24 server with versión 2.3, with 2.2 i have a lot of errors.
