Description:
SHOW CREATE TABLE uses uppercase for certain key words such as "CREATE TABLE", "PRIMARY KEY", "ENGINE", ... - but not for others, such as "int", "auto_increment", "unsigned", ...

How to repeat:
mysql> drop table if exists t;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

create table t (i INT(10) not null AUTO_INCREMENT, primary key (i));

mysql> show create table t\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: t
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t` (
  `i` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`i`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
make all reserved/key words uppercase

Pushed a patch for 5.1.8 where the ouput from SHOW CREATE TABLE uses uppercase for
"CHARACTER SET", "COLLATE",
"DEFAULT", "ON UPDATE" and "AUTO_INCREMENT"
Datatypes are still in lowercase.

Noted in 5.1.8 changelog.

The output from <literal>SHOW CREATE TABLE</literal> is more
consistent about using uppercase for keywords. Data types
still are in lowercase. (Bug #10460)
