Check this out for a mysql brain tease.... I'm working on a new database
project and on my development system I run a separate mysql database
server to develop against. So today I found the following in my list of
databases in my development mysql database server.
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| #mysql50#.emacs.d |
| clinicaldb |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| test |
+--------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
So what is this #mysql50#.emacs.d database? I did a quick search and
found that #mysql50# prefix means that a database was upgrade which my
have happened as I've upgraded through various releases of Fedora. But
the .emacs.d is the weird part. The database contains `.` characters
which are supposidly not allowed according to the following link
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifiers.html
does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can check to see what tables
are in this database and/or how to drop the database?
Thanks in advance...
Cheers. Steve.
