Description:
If you have an innodb database with views, "mysqlcheck --analyze mydb" and "mysqlcheck --optimize mydb" also tries to handle the views in addition to the tables, but fails.

With best regards,
Roland.

How to repeat:
mysql> create database test;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> create table ttt (id integer);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> create view v_test as select * from ttt;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> exit

Shell>mysqlcheck.exe --analyze --user=root --password=secret test
test.ttt                                           OK
test.v_test
error    : 'test.v_test' is not BASE TABLE

Shell>mysqlcheck.exe --optimize --user=root --password=secret test
test.ttt                                           OK
test.v_test
error    : 'test.v_test' is not BASE TABLE

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 5.0.19-debug

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> create table ttt (id integer);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> create view v_test as select * from ttt;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> exit
Bye
miguel@hegel:~/dbs/5.0> bin/mysqlcheck -uroot --analyze db15
db15.ttt                                           Table is already up to date
db15.v_test
error    : 'db15.v_test' is not BASE TABLE

Also, see the feature request bug #6220, which should probably be handled as part of the fix for this bug.
