I've been playing around with stored procedures and I seem to be able to consistantly crash msqld but I'm unsure wether it's because I'm doing something I shouldn't (SP newbie :]) or wether the issue's a bug in mysql.
I know I'm 'pushing my luck' with the code below but I was trying it out of interest more than anything. For reference the new table is being created by the SP but mysqld then crashes. I'm running 5.0.6 installed from the Redhat 9 RPMS under Fedora Core 3. DELIMITER $$ DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `userauth`.`DeleteUser`$$ CREATE PROCEDURE `userauth`.`DeleteUser` (IN i_uid int, IN sz_username char(100), IN sz_deletedby char(100)) BEGIN DECLARE tablename char(120); SET tablename=CONCAT('DEL_',REPLACE(sz_deletedby,'-','_')); SET @SQLcmd=CONCAT('CREATE TABLE ', tablename, ' SELECT * FROM usertest WHERE uid = "',i_uid,'" AND username = "',sz_username,'"'); prepare stmt from @SQLcmd; execute stmt; deallocate prepare stmt; SET @SQLcmd=CONCAT('ALTER TABLE ', tablename, ' ADD COLUMN datedeleted TIMESTAMP FIRST'); prepare stmt from @SQLcmd; execute stmt; deallocate prepare stmt; SET @SQLcmd=CONCAT('DROP TABLE ',tablename); prepare stmt from @SQLcmd; execute stmt; deallocate prepare stmt; END$$ DELIMITER ; CREATE TABLE `usertest` ( `uid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `username` varchar(100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`uid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; INSERT INTO usertest VALUES('502','dvs'); CALL DeleteUser('502','dvs','rhall-superuser'); mysqld.log:- Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went terribly wrong...

Please read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Using_stack_trace.html and follow instructions on how to resolve the stack trace.
