Tags: mysqldbcopy character encoding insert fail

[26 Sep 2012 18:30] Anthony Rossano
Description:
When running mysqldbcopy on real-world data, it crashes while attempting to insert data. The inserts seem to be related to special characters (apostrophes, etc as in marketing copy), but it also occurs in tables with simple alphanumeric data.
The errors are mainly 'problem inserting data' 
i.e: 
"Problem inserting data. Error = Query failed. 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax...

but I also see data being broken out of the value and interpreted as a column name, i.e:
"Unknown column 'sprint' in 'field list'", 0)

and even data being interpreted as a function:
"UtilError: ('Problem inserting data. Error = Query failed. 1305 (42000): FUNCTION Mobile does not exist', 0)"

Maybe the values are not returned properly escaped. 

Then the program lost the mysql handle:
mysql.connector.errors.InterfaceError: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

A longer dump is below. 

This tool looks like it could really make our lives easier, if it can be made stable. 
Thank you.
Anthony

Suggested fix:
encapulate or escape the data before inserting.

Thank you for the report.

Please try with current version 1.2.0 and if problem still exists provide mysqldbcopy option you use: copy-paste command how you invoke mysqldbcopy.
