Thank you for a bug report and patch. Verified just as described with latest 5.0.40-BK on Linux.

Ups.. Better patch:

# diff -p mysqlhotcopy.orig mysqlhotcopy
*** mysqlhotcopy.orig   Sat Apr  7 12:33:41 2007
--- mysqlhotcopy        Sat Apr  7 15:52:50 2007

*** 838,843 ****
--- 838,844 ----
      my $quote = $dbh->get_info(29); # SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR
      if ($quote) {
        foreach (@dbh_tables) {
+         s/$quote.*$quote\.//; #p5-DBD-mysql51-4.003 fix#
          s/^$quote(.*)$quote$/$1/;
          s/$quote$quote/$quote/g;
        }

Similar patch [5.1.20 & p5-DBD-mysql51-4.005], but checks that 1st component is really this db -- maybe, unnecessary?

It looks like this isn't due to DBD::mysql, but DBI itself.  Current documentation for "tables" says "Returns a list of matching table names, possibly including a catalog/schema prefix".

mysqlhotcopy should just use table_info() instead.  DBI just calls the DBD's table_info() anyways, and we don't want the quoting, so table_info() is all around better.

  Bug #27694: mysqlhotcopy & p5-DBD-mysql51-4.003
  
  The symptom is that, when used with recent versions of DBD::mysql,
  mysqlhotcopy uses a double-qualified table name, for example:
  
  Invalid db.table name 'test.test`.`x' at /usr/bin/mysqlhotcopy line 855.
  
  This is caused by a change in DBD::mysql.  See this diff:
  
  http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/modules/DBD-mysql/trunk/lib/DBD/mysql.pm?r1=9183&r2=9188
  
  Basically, older DBD::mysql implemented a limited ->table_info method;
  now the full method is implemented, and as a result DBI's ->tables()
  method has access to the schema value, so it uses it.

  Use "SHOW TABLES FROM `db`" instead of $dbh->tables() in the
  get_list_of_tables() routine.

bug #46653 was not a dupe of this bug but rather bug #46653 revealed the existence of this problem because mysqlhotcopy cannot handle '.' in database or table names (which it should). 

Please reopen it and see it's comments for further explanation as bug #46653 still exists in mysqlhotcopy.
