"A constraint name can be given as of MySQL 4.0.18"
Ah, by itself - a great feature. Pain in the *** though, that it has been
added in (yet another) _minor_ MySQL update. This makes providing
tools for it quite a burden...
The good thing: this is an addition, unlike renaming a column returned
from SHOW TABLES :-/
Thanks for pointing this out.
With regards,
