Description:
I running against MySQL 4.1.8 with Admin 1.0.18.
I useing the same backup file I tried to restore when I logged bug #7208, which was closed/fixed for this release.

I'm trying to restore an backup file from MySQL 4.0.18 using utf8 as the char set encoding.  The real encoding is latin1 but I'm trying to see how well bug #7208 was fixed.

When I click start restore I get this message, which is good to get,

"MySQL Server has returned this Error:
MySQL error Nr. 0-"   

Note the hyphen at the end.

There is no error number 0, I looked in MySQL Server 4.1\Docs\mysqld_error.txt

So what is really the error here?

How to repeat:
retore a backup file that uses latin1 encoding but select utf8 encoding instead.

Hello, 

I don't get such error if I set latin1 character set instead of utf8.
Could you provide the dump file for testing?

I was able reproduce it only if "Target Schema" is "Original Schema". If I specify database name, it works fine.

I'm recieving the same error.  I attempted the posted fix and it didn't work for me.  Anyone have an other suggestions?

make sure you have the correct char code selected, prob latin1, and that you have a blank db already created.

You might have the name of the database saved with a space. Make sure that you don't have any spaces in the database schema filename
