Description:
Assuming that, for example, the tables foo, bar and baz don’t exist, the instruction

DROP TABLE foo, bar, baz;

generates the error (assuming the current database is mydb)

ERROR 1051 (42S02): Unknown table 'mydb.foo,mydb.bar,mydb.baz'

This should surely say something like

Unknown tables 'mydb.foo', 'mydb.bar' and 'mydb.baz'

How to repeat:
Type in a DROP TABLE instruction with multiple tables which don’t exist.

Suggested fix:
Change the error report when multiple tables cannot be dropped.
