Question

Can any one help me how to create an event in MySQL so that it has to be executed for every 10 seconds?

I have tried with the following code but it is inserting only once but when i see whether the event is running of not in process list it is in running state

   create event e_insert on schedule at 'timestamp' + interval 1 second do insert into 'table_name' values (now());    

Answer 1

You should write –

ON SCHEDULE EVERY '10' SECOND

instead of on schedule at...

Using the Event Scheduler.

Edit:

CREATE EVENT event1
  ON SCHEDULE EVERY '10' SECOND
  STARTS CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
  ON COMPLETION PRESERVE
  DO 
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO...
END
