Hello,
I am not entirely sure if it's a bug or not. I only encounter this problem
if my DB server has any number of symbolic-link databases in it.
If I issue any "SHOW DATBASES LIKE" statement to try to check if an database
exist, it will always return >0 if I have a symbolic-link database (a *.sym
file in \mysql\data directory).
Is this a bug? Is there anyway for mysql to return the correct value? I
have a "foo.sym" symbolic-link database and I issue (SHOW DATABASES LIKE
"tester";) and it will still return the foo database to me.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Kelvin
