Bug #27608	XML output is not well-formed
Submitted:	3 Apr 2007 11:40	Modified:	24 Apr 2007 5:01
Reporter:	Ruvim Pinka
Status:	Closed
Category:	Server: XML	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.2.3-falcon-alpha, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1	OS:	Linux (Linux)
Assigned to:	Alexander Barkov	Target Version:
Tags:	XML

Description:
1. Bug #25946 is not fixed in this version.
2. If a result set is empty, the output XML document is utterly blank while it must
include at least one empty root element.

How to repeat:
mysql --database=test -X -B -e "select null as nnn limit 1"
mysql --database=test -X -B -e "select null as nnn limit 0"

Suggested fix:
In the second case an output must be like a following:
<resultset statement="select null as nnn limit 0"></resultset>

Thank you for the report.

Verified as desribed. All versions are affected.
