Hi all, I'm resending this message with a different subject line, in the hopes that someone who Knows (a MySQL team member :-)? will be able to answer it. I've successfully used 'mysqlshow db_name %' under MySQL v3.23, but under 3.22.20a, it returns the message: "Cannot list fields in db: db_name, table: %: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '%' at line 1" Did the wildcard feature get included in a particular version? If so, which version? I'll have to test for the version in my script, and do a work around. It seems that under 3.22.20a, we don't need the % to show tables that have underlines, and in fact, the % doesn't work. Any thoughts? Thanks!
