mysqldump warning or actual error?
My local windows machine has mysql 5.1.33 installed on it. One of my Mac OSX dev servers has some 4.1 flavor of MySQL on it. When I try to do something like the following: mysqldump -h devserver -u me -p somedb dump.sql I get the following: mysqldump: Error: 'Table 'information_schema.files' doesn't exist' when trying to dump tablespaces It looks like it creates the export fine but I've been ssh-ing into the dev box and doing it locally there just in case Should I be worried? Is there some option that would supress that (that i didn't see in mysqldump --help)? Is it truely harmless?

Re: mysqldump warning or actual error?
If you look at the options for mysqldump more closely, you will see that you can specify the version of the server which will be importing the result file. These cause MySQL to taylor the SQL syntax according to the target platform. - michael dykman On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 11:03 AM, Matt Neimeyerm...@neimeyer.org wrote: My local windows machine has mysql 5.1.33 installed on it.

Re: mysqldump warning or actual error?
Hi Matt, The error you are getting is very particular to information_schema database. Information_schema does NOT actually have tables, they are views: |INFORMATION_SCHEMA| is the information database, the place that stores information about all the other databases that the MySQL server maintains. Inside |INFORMATION_SCHEMA| there are several read-only tables. They are actually views, not base tables, so there are no files associated with them. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/information-schema.html Therefore mysqldump generates error trying to dump tables that does not exist.
