Description:
MySQL server allows to create trigger with dots ('.') in its name if it's quoted:
mysql> create database tri;
Query OK, 1 row affected (1.34 sec)
mysql> use tri;
Database changed
mysql> create table t1(id int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (4.39 sec)
mysql> create trigger trigger.with.dots before insert on t1 for each row set @a
=1;
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 '.dots
before insert on t1 for each row set @a=1' at line 1
mysql> create trigger `trigger.with.dots` before insert on t1 for each row set @
a=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.80 sec)
Unfortunately mysqldump with --add-drop-trigger option generates unquoted name for such a trigger in DROP statement:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin>mysqldump --triggers --no-data --no-
create-info --add-drop-trigger -uroot -proot -P3314 tri
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

-- Dump completed on 2015-10-08 19:10:56
This dump can not be restored without errors.
How to repeat:
Execute this:
create database tri;
use tri;
create table t1(id int);
create trigger `trigger.with.dots` before insert on t1 for each row set @a=1;
and then dump with --add-drop-trigger option:
mysqldump --triggers --no-data --no-create-info --add-drop-trigger -uroot -proot -P3314 tri
to see these:
/*!50032 DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS trigger.with.dots */;
DELIMITER ;;
/*!50003 CREATE*/ /*!50017 DEFINER=`root`@`localhost`*/ /*!50003 trigger `trigger.with.dots` before insert on t1 for each row set @a=1 */;;
...
This drop statement will fail when executed:
mysql> use tri
Database changed
mysql> DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS trigger.with.dots;
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 '.dots
' at line 1
mysql>
Suggested fix:
Add quotes to trigger name in DROP TRIGGER STATEMENT generated.
