Bug#14645196 MYSQL CLIENT'S USE COMMAND FAILS
WHEN DBNAME CONTAINS MULTIPLE QUOTES MySQL client's USE command might fail if the database name contains multiple quotes (backticks). The reason behind the failure being the method that client uses to remove/escape the quotes while parsing the USE command's option (dbname), where the option parsing might terminate if a matching quote is found. Also, C-APIs like mysql_select_db() expect a normalized dbname. Now, in certain cases, client might fail to normalize dbname similar to that of server and hence mysql_select_db() would fail. Fixed by getting the normalized dbname (indirectly) from the server by directly sending the "USE dbanme" as query to the server followed by a "SELECT DATABASE()". The above steps are only performed if number of quotes in the dbname is greater than 2. Once the normalized dbname is received, the original db is restored.
