[debian-mysql] Bug#480525: Background checking fails on some tables

[Michal Čihař]

Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.51a-6
Severity: normal

Hi

I did not investigate details of background checking of tables on
startup, but it causes failure on some tables. I have table called
database phone-utopia which contains table searchindex, but the script
seems not to escape database name and it fails:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-utopia.searchindex' at line 1
