I beleive this is a bug in mysqlshow: I have a database with an underscore in it's name (which is valid), but mysqlshow thinks I'm trying to do a wildcard and lists databases which match the pattern instead of showing what I want it to show. For instance: "If last argument contains a shell or SQL wildcard (*,?,% or _) then only what's matched by the wildcard is shown." user@host -> /ascend/sql/bin/mysqlshow --status ascend_logs Wildcard: ascend_logs +-------------+ | Databases | +-------------+ | ascend_logs | +-------------+ -- Ian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
