is the scheduled task. But the fields don't get updated. When I run just the query - the fields get updated fine.
I have another scheduled task, with the very same syntax, just scheduled to run a 5 minutes later, and it runs fine.
I don't understand why wouldn't this task run, or whether the query does not update the table... Any suggestions?
Update
I deleted the other scheduled task (the one that was working), and set them both again, and now neither fires...
See if event scheduler is even running:
show variables where variable_name='event_scheduler';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| event_scheduler | OFF |
+-----------------+-------+
nope
Create my test table:
create table trips
( id int auto_increment primary key,
status int not null,
created_at date not null
);
insert trips(status,created_at) values (0,'2014-09-09');
Create my event:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE EVENT `set_trips_finished`
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 1 MINUTE STARTS '2015-08-23 00:00:00'

DO BEGIN
UPDATE trips
SET status = status+1
WHERE date(created_at) < curdate();
END;$$
DELIMITER ;

Look at data that might get status updated:
select * from trips;
+----+--------+------------+
| id | status | created_at |
+----+--------+------------+
| 1 | 0 | 2014-09-09 |
+----+--------+------------+
Well I can wait all day long, events aren't even turned on
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON; -- turn her on
show variables where variable_name='event_scheduler';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| event_scheduler | ON |
+-----------------+-------+
Wait a few minutes (note my event runs every minute)
select * from trips;
+----+--------+------------+
| id | status | created_at |
+----+--------+------------+
| 1 | 3 | 2014-09-09 |
+----+--------+------------+
Event has run 3 times. Ok, looks good.
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = OFF; -- turn her off if so desired
