>Description:
It is possible to create a table which mysqldump can dump, but mysql cannot
undump.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a table with a field named 'key':
CREATE TABLE `testthing` (
`key` TINYINT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`key`)
);
When you run mysqldump, it gives this back:
CREATE TABLE testthing (
key tinyint(4) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (key)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
Because key is no longer in quotes, it is rejected because it is a reserved word.
>Fix:
(1) Users: Don't name fields with reserved words
(2) mysql: Don't allow users to name fields with reserved words
>Submitter-Id: <submitter ID>
>Originator:
>Organization: 3edges
>MySQL support: none
>Synopsis: mysqldump allows reserved words as table names, but mysql does not
