Bug #27758	NDB tables with index names containing spaces not restored correctly
Submitted:	11 Apr 2007 17:05	Modified:	17 Apr 2007 13:31

Description:
A NDB backup made from 5.0.30 and restoring it into 5.0.38 makes 1 particular table makes
it broken on the SQL node. It fails in all the databases it was created in.

Checking the table in question using ndb_desc or ndb_select_count, all seems fine. When
doing any operation in the MySQL server on this table, following error is returned:

mysql> DESC t1;
ERROR 1296 (HY000): Got error 1 'Unknown error code' from ndbcluster
mysql> SHOW WARNINGS;
+-------+------+---------------+
| Level | Code | Message       |
+-------+------+---------------+
| Error | 1105 | Unknown error | 
+-------+------+---------------+

Removing the .frm/.ndb files and letting it rediscover does not work. Also, it happens on
all SQL nodes connect at the same time.

How to repeat:
Repeatable test case (backup) available privately, together with more information and
about table structure.
Restoring it to 5.0.30 gives same problems.

Verified using MySQL 5.0.30 and 5.0.38.

Problem found.

The problem is the key including a space `product type`

When restored from the ndb_restore the key becomes named `product`...

Workaround:  Don't use key's with spaces.

BR,

Tomas
