MySQL Bugs: #9766: Export Table to XML is incorrect.

Bug #9766	Export Table to XML is incorrect.
Submitted:	8 Apr 2005 16:12	Modified:	2 May 2005 12:32

Category:	MySQL Query Browser	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.1	OS:	Windows (Windows)
Assigned to:	Vladimir Kolesnikov	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When you export a table and one of the column names has a space inside it, it'll export the column name with a space -- which is not well formed XML.

This might be happening in the command line version as well, (I haven't tried it yet).

How to repeat:
Create table, and make one of the column names have a space in it. Put some data into the table.

Export the table to XML. Then try loading the XML in MSIE, you'll get "invalid character in content model" and a pointer to the space.

Suggested fix:
Use an XML parser to validate the export file first.

Hi Jay,

Query Browser produces different XML output than mysqldump.
Thanks for the report.
