ERROR 3009 (HY000): Column count of mysql.user is wrong…..

在测试备份还原时，使用XtraBackup还原数据库后，创建一个测试账号时遇到了下面错误：

mysql> grant all on house.* to test@'192.168.%' identified by 'test1249';

ERROR 3009 (HY000): Column count of mysql.user is wrong. Expected 45, found 43. Created with MySQL 50620, now running 50721. Please use mysql_upgrade to fix this error.

mysql>

因为备份的数据库版本为MySQL 5.6.20，目标数据库的MySQL版本为5.7.21，因为两个数据库版本不一致，在还原过后，忘记升级数据库（还原后没有使用mysql_upgrade升级数据结构）。其实从错误信息也能看出一二，需要执行mysql_upgrade命令会检查所有数据库中的所有表与当前版本的MySQL服务器是否不兼容。 mysql_upgrade还会升级系统表，以便你可以使用一些新特性或功能。

关于mysql_upgrade的官方介绍如下，具体细节参考“4.4.7 mysql_upgrade — Check and Upgrade MySQL Tables”：

mysql_upgrade examines all tables in all databases for incompatibilities with the current version of MySQL Server. mysql_upgrade also upgrades the system tables so that you can take advantage of new privileges or capabilities that might have been added.

If mysql_upgrade finds that a table has a possible incompatibility, it performs a table check and, if problems are found, attempts a table repair. If the table cannot be repaired, see Section 2.11.3, “Rebuilding or Repairing Tables or Indexes” for manual table repair strategies.

You should execute mysql_upgrade each time you upgrade MySQL.
