Description:
errors instead of a restored database.

How to repeat:
I backed up my database with the version of administrator GUI made for MySQL 4.1 and unchecked the keys checkbox (why that's on by default I don't know).  the default charset is latin1.  
I uninstalled everything (mysql server, query browser, administrator) and installed the new 5.0.18 database, 1.1.7 administrator, 1.1.19 query browser) .
Tried to do a restore using new Administrator GUI's defaults except the charset, which had to be set for latin1.  got an error consistently about a connection.
brought up mysql cmd-line and executed the DDL script fine.
tried the administrator again and got "an internal error occurred".

Suggested fix:
use mysql command-line to execute SQL scripts to restore databases.

I forgot to add that I turned on the checkbox to create databases if they don't exist.

I was able to reproduce this bug using MA 1.1.7 and the attached SQL file

Thank you for the bug report. I was unable to repeat with MySQL Administrator 1.2.1 Beta.
