Hi,

I got the following error from mysql (client):
ERROR at line 1: Failed to open file 'varchar(255),', error: 2

The .sql file I were sending to stdin of mysql has the following content:
CREATE TABLE IDENTITY (
  id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
  company_id bigint(20) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
  contact_fname varchar(100),
  contact_lname varchar(100),
  contact_gender enum('M','Mme','Mlle'),
  contact_function varchar(100),
  contact_delivery_address text,
  contact_invoice text,
  reg_date timestamp(8),
  confirmed_date date,
  changed timestamp(14),
  changed_by varchar(20),
  source varchar(255),
  PRIMARY KEY (id),
  KEY IDENTITY_company_id (company_id)
);


.. and the only line that contains varchar(255) is:
  source varchar(255),

And when I removed it from the file, everything did go ok.. 
So is the word 'source' a reserved field name in myISAM tables or what?

Just want to know what's going on.

The server that was complaining about the line is of version 3.32.21-beta.
The server that produced the .sql file (with mysqldump) is of version 3.22.32


Regards,
Johan
