>Description:
mysql-utilities mysqlcheck and mysql_convert_table don't quote
table names and so fail in converting/checking/repairing
specially named tables.
>How-To-Repeat:
create e.g. a table `A-22bd` and run mysqlcheck on it:
# mysqlcheck test
mysqlcheck: Got error: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '-22bd
' at line 1 when executing 'CHECK TABLE ...
The same problem exists in mysql_convert_table.
When quoting the table name, everything works fine from the mysql
monitor.
>Fix:
Changing line 72 in mysql_convert_table from
if (!$dbh->do("ALTER TABLE $table type=$opt_type"))
to
if (!$dbh->do("ALTER TABLE \`$table\` type=$opt_type"))
fixes the problem for mysql_convert_table.
It would also a nice idea to include '--quote-names' as a default
in mysqldump since without this option above mentioned tables
aren't dumpable.
