MySQL Bugs: #2804: error messages don't use client charset

Bug #2804	error messages don't use client charset
Submitted:	15 Feb 2004 8:15	Modified:	18 Mar 2004 22:53
Reporter:	Jean-Claude Colson	Email Updates:
Status:	Duplicate	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Command-line Clients	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1.1-alpha-standard	OS:	MacOS (Mac OS X 10.3.2)
Assigned to:	Assigned Account	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The ERROR in french is well displayed in latin1:
jc@eMac ~$ cat .my.cnf
[client]
password                = secret
[mysql]
default-character-set   = latin1
jc@eMac ~$ mysql   
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 934 to server version: 4.1.1-alpha-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> SHOW TABLES LIKE '%';
ERROR 1046 (3D000): Aucune base n'a été sélectionnée
mysql> 

But in utf8:
ERROR 1046 (3D000): Aucune base n'a ?t? s?lectionn?e

(I have send this message in ISO-8859-1)

How to repeat:
jc@eMac ~$ cat .my.cnf 
[client]
password                = secret
[mysql]
default-character-set   = utf8
jc@eMac ~$ mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 932 to server version: 4.1.1-alpha-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> SHOW TABLES LIKE '%';
ERROR 1046 (3D000): Aucune base n'a ?t? s?lectionn?e
mysql> 

Suggested fix:
Convert error messages to respect client's charset.

We have already this bug report, so I'm closing
this report as "duplicate". We'll try to fix
this problem as soon as possible. Sorry for
inconvenience.
