Description:
Hi,
I cannot get to first base with mysql 5.0.2
I downloaded Windows (x86) 5.0.2-alpha 37.0M and ran MD5 to check for a signature match. The install I did was one in which I chose ALL defaults. The OS is Windows 98 SE.
The problem is highly reproducible as follows:
Start mysqld
Start mysql and type ...
mysql> use mysql; (use the database that comes with mysql)
mysql> show tables;
mysql> describe user; (or describe any other table)
At this point I get...
Mysqld - This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
I have been using mysql 4.1.7 under Windows 98 SE with perfect performance. After mysql 5.0.2 failed, I did a clean install of Windows 98 SE with no other applications and then mysql 5.0.2, but the problem remains the same.
I particularly wish to use 5.0.2 because it supports views.
I cannot find a reference to this in bugs at the mysql web site.
Any suggestions most welcome. Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
Brad
