Noted in 5.7.8, 5.8.0 changelogs. SHOW CREATE TABLE did not correctly display generated columns that had a character set defined.

Posted by developer: Reported version value updated to reflect release name change from 5.8 to 8.0

Description: Auto generated columns in MySQL 5.7.6 that have a CHARACTER SET defined, are displayed wrongly in the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement. This means that dumpfiles cannot be loaded! No backup possible. How to repeat: mysql> CREATE TABLE t (i CHAR(3), n CHAR(20) CHARACTER SET utf8 GENERATED ALWAYS AS (md5(i))); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,13 sec) mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE t; +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table | Create Table | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | t | CREATE TABLE `t` ( `i` char(3) DEFAULT NULL, `n` char(20) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (md5(i)) VIRTUAL CHARACTER SET utf8 ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 | +-------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0,00 sec) Then try to re-run the CREATE statement: mysql> CREATE TABLE `t` ( -> `i` char(3) DEFAULT NULL, -> `n` char(20) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (md5(i)) VIRTUAL CHARACTER SET utf8 -> ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CHARACTER SET utf8 ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1' at line 3 Or do a mysqldump of table t and try to import the dump file. Same error appears. Suggested fix: SHOW CREATE TABLE must generate correct SQL code. In the example above this would be CREATE TABLE `t` ( `i` char(3) DEFAULT NULL, `n` char(20) CHARACTER SET utf8 GENERATED ALWAYS AS (md5(i)) VIRTUAL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 CHARACTER SET is part of the datatype.
