[mysql] #1227 - Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation

Hello, I am currently having an issue with MySQL!

What's going wrong here? I am a cPanel user, and yes I have searched this and found no definitive answers. It appears this is more specific than other people with the same error codes issues. Please add a detailed response that I can follow along with! P.s I am using a shared hosting account.

Here is the error code:

#1227 - Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation 

remove DEFINER=root@localhost from all calls including procedures

Change

CREATE DEFINER =  `root`@`localhost` FUNCTION  `fnc_calcWalkedDistance` (

By

FUNCTION  `fnc_calcWalkedDistance` (

Simply remove "DEFINER=your user name@localhost" and run the SQL from phpmyadminwill works fine.

In my case there was no DEFINER or root@localhost mentioned in my SQL file. Actually I was trying to import and run SQL file into SQLYog from Database->Import->Execute SQL Script menu. That was giving error.

Then I copied all the script from SQL file and ran in SQLYog query editor. That worked perfectly fine.

In case you are uploading an sql file on cpanel, then try and replace root with your cpanel username in your sql file.

in the case above you could write

CREATE DEFINER = control_panel_username@localhost FUNCTION fnc_calcWalkedDistance

then upload the file. Hope it helps
