Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead. Thank you for your interest in MySQL. Duplicate of bug#15643

> Duplicate of bug#15643 I used your 'find duplicate' function and went through all the bugs that it told about. #15643 was not among them. So I like to think that MySQL's bug tracking system is to blame, not me :-). > Please do not submit the same bug more than once. Fix your issue tracker. Or even better, start fixing your bugs. Bug #15643 was created 9 Dec 2005, so it's "only" nearing a year of age, but I've seen this repeatedly. Bugs lie around for years and years, picking up tons of duplicates. Fix your bugs faster --> less duplicates. > Thank you for your interest in MySQL. Thanks for finding the duplicate for me (sorry).

> Please do not submit the same bug more than once. It may seem to you that bug reporters are a bunch of critters with nothing better to do than submit duplicates. I hope you consider that when your users submit a bug report, they've taken precious time to make sure the description is as concise as possible and that the test case is of high quality. (Notice the original brevity of this case - the original description is 1 line, the test case doesn't require your to create tables or compile executables, just execute a query, appropriate data is created inline, and you're done with it.) It takes us a lot of time to create good bug reports, so it's not only your effort which is wasted by all the stale bugs - it's ours too...

Your reaction suggests that we need to change the canned answer that the system automatically uses for "duplicate bug" status :) We'll try to find something better...
