We are getting a weird DROP DATABASE error >>>>>>>>> 2007-06-10 11:25:41 db 527 DEBUG DROP DATABASE BCS
OperationalError: (1051, "Unknown table 'assignments,chemo,choicelists,dia,forms ,horm,id,permissions,qhistory,qnotes,qstates,questionnaires,r'") <<<<<<<<<<< the thing is, there is NO table 'r' ... can't tell if that's just the truncation of long string, since we do have tables that begin with the letter 'r'. but if its a truncation, which is the offending table, since the ones in the string as shown are there as advertised. also, is that correct that MySQL says 'table' (not plural), but then lists a set of tables??? Has MySQL made itself believe taht string is one long table name. please note: we are acccessing MySQL through the python mysqldb wrapper. but we did simply execute the query 'DROP DATABASE BCS' which i THINK is passed straight through to the MySQL engine. query: does "drop database XXX" delete tables regardless of foreign key constraints? we are using innodb. but i thought "drop database xxx" deletes tables with extreme prejudice. but if its a constraint issue, then why the "unknown table" error? thanks.
