[debian-mysql] Bug#864762: mariadb-client-10.1: Unknown database 'test'

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: mariadb-client-10.1
Version: 10.1.23-9+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It shouldn't default to test.. I think this was fixed in the 'other' mytop a long time ago, is this mytop based on an older version?

I also think it's a bad idea to echo the password like this.

Gr,

Olaf

$ mytop
Unknown option: default-character-set
Cannot connect to MariaDB server. Please check the:

  * database you specified "test" (default is "test")
  * username you specified "forge" (default is "root")
  * password you specified "1234" (default is "")
  * hostname you specified "localhost" (default is "localhost")
  * port you specified "3306" (default is 3306)
  * socket you specified "" (default is "")

The options my be specified on the command-line or in a ~/.mytop
config file. See the manual (perldoc mytop) for details.

Here's the exact error from DBI. It might help you debug:
