BUG#15844882: MYSQLDUMP FROM 5.5 FAILS WITH AN ERROR WHEN TRYING
TO DUMP DATA FROM MYSQL-5.6 Analysis -------- Dumping mysql-5.6 data using mysql-5.1/mysql-5.5 'myqldump' utility fails with a syntax error. Server system variable 'sql_quote_show_create' which quotes the identifiers is set in the mysqldump utility. The mysldump utility of mysql-5.1/mysql-5.5 uses deprecated syntax 'SET OPTION' to set the 'sql_quote_show_create' option. The support for the syntax is removed in mysql-5.6. Hence syntax error is reported while taking the dump. Fix: --- Changed the 'mysqldump' code to use the syntax 'SET SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE' to set the 'sql_quote_show_create' option. That syntax is supported on mysql-5.1, mysql-5.5 and mysql-5.6. NOTE: I have not added an mtr test case since it is difficult to simulate the condition. Also the syntax may not be further simplified in the future.
