I am scripting out the creation of a database so I can make changes and then run the script to generate a clean copy (by running it in MySQL Query Browser).
The script DROPs all the tables, then CREATEs them again along with all the indices and whatnot. However, if I run the script after having run it once (if I close the Query Browser and then open it again and reload the script later), I get error 1061 "Duplicate key name" on all of the indices. So I figured I missed something, and I'll just DROP the whole database and then run the script. I add a "DROP DATABASE databasename;" and a "CREATE DATABASE databasename;" at the start of my script and try to run it again. Now I get errors 1008 "Can't drop database 'databasename'; database doesn't exist" and 1007 "Can't create database 'databasename'; database exists", followed by the index errors above. If I drop the database from MySQL Administrator (or the command-line client), and then run the script again I get the same errors. The database and all of the scripted objects are created (properly as far as I can tell), but why would I get these errors? I am using the latest version of MySQL (5.0.19) with InnoDB as the storage engine on Windows 2000 Professional SP4, but I have the same problem with 5.0.17. If there is any other information you need I'd be happy to supply it.
