>Description: 'mysqldump --allow-keywords' seems not to work using mysql-3.23.38-1.alpha.rpm or mysql-3.23.41-1.alpha.rpm, i.e. keyword-permissive column names are not produced. The same command works properly on MySQL 3.23.22 on Linux on Intel hardware. >How-To-Repeat: The table can be created using: CREATE TABLE `GeneAnnotation` ( `AnnotationID` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `GeneID` varchar(255) default NULL, `Key` varchar(255) default NULL, `Value` varchar(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`AnnotationID`) ) TYPE=MyISAM ; The following command: mysqldump --allow-keywords -p -u root -d minimal_pa14 GeneAnnotation Produces the problematic output: # MySQL dump 8.14 # # Host: localhost Database: minimal_pa14 #-------------------------------------------------------- # Server version 3.23.41 # # Table structure for table 'GeneAnnotation' # CREATE TABLE GeneAnnotation ( AnnotationID int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', GeneID varchar(255) default NULL, Key varchar(255) default NULL, Value varchar(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (AnnotationID) ) TYPE=MyISAM; The line beginning with 'Key' causes problems. ########A short shell script to reproduce the problem...###### #!/bin/sh # Creating the problematic db table with a column named 'Key' echo ' CREATE TABLE `GeneAnnotation` ( `AnnotationID` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `GeneID` varchar(255) default NULL, `Key` varchar(255) default NULL, `Value` varchar(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`AnnotationID`) ) TYPE=MyISAM ;' | mysql test mysqldump --allow-keywords -d test GeneAnnotation # Cleaning up... echo ' drop table test.GeneAnnotation;' | mysql test #############End Shell Script############ >Fix: Workarounds: Add backquotes (`) manually to the mysqldump output where the column name is key. Alternatively, the programmer could avoid using keywords in the first place! >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: Jonathan M.
