[:glob ✱]

when checksetup.pl creates a database on mysql 4.1.5 gamma, mysql crashes.

Comment 1

[:glob ✱]

interesting.

the database gets created, and mysql crashes without logging any errors.

however if i use "create database" instead of dbi's "createdb", it doesn't crash.

Attachment: use CREATE DATABASE instead of createdb

i've tested it on mysql 3.23.41 as well as 4.1.5

We don't need to do anything to support a database backend that's still
classified as "Gamma".  The fact that major bugs probably exist in it is among
the reasons it's not qualified as a production database yet.

This is either a bug in MySQL itself, or in the DBD::mysql perl module, and
should be reported to the appropriate places.

MySQL 4.1 has been declared production-ready...

Is this issue still present in the current versions?  If so, we should reopen
this...
