1. I don't understand why "CREATE TABLE t2" should give an error when there is no base table named t2 and no view named t2, judging from the 'how to repeat'. 2. Since views are tables, I don't understand in what way the behaviour contradicts the documentation.

Sorry for typos in 'how to repeat'. Here is the correct 'how to repeat': CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT); --error ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR CREATE VIEW t1 AS SELECT 1; # Gives an error as expected CREATE VIEW t2 AS SELECT 1; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS t2 (a INT); # Does not give an error!
