Bug #13783	mysqlcheck tries to optimize and analyze information_schema
Submitted:	5 Oct 2005 20:02	Modified:	18 Oct 2005 9:48
Reporter:	Markus Popp	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.13-rc-nt/BK 5.0.15	OS:	Windows (Windows XP/Linux)
Assigned to:	Sergei Glukhov	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The command mysqlcheck --all-databases --analyze --optimize fails, because it also tries to analyze and optimize the information_schema tables, which it can't.

How to repeat:
E:\>mysqlcheck --all-databases --analyze --optimize -u root
Enter password: *******
mysqlcheck: Got error: 1044: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to
database 'information_schema' when executing 'OPTIMIZE TABLE ... '

E:\mysql_dump>

Suggested fix:
information_schema should be excluded from this command.

Fixed in 5.0.15

Added to 5.0.15 changelog.

This Bug is still open in the sources for 5.0.15. Will you include this patch in the next version (5.0.16)?

5.0.15 Standard for OS X does not fix this (non-installer version).

The actual fix was indeed in 5.0.16 only, not 5.0.15
