Check this out for a mysql brain tease.... I'm working on a new database project and on my development system I run a separate mysql database server to develop against. So today I found the following in my list of databases in my development mysql database server. mysql> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | #mysql50#.emacs.d | | clinicaldb | | mysql | | performance_schema | | test | +--------------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec) So what is this #mysql50#.emacs.d database? I did a quick search and found that #mysql50# prefix means that a database was upgrade which my have happened as I've upgraded through various releases of Fedora. But the .emacs.d is the weird part. The database contains `.` characters which are supposidly not allowed according to the following link http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifiers.html does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can check to see what tables are in this database and/or how to drop the database? Thanks in advance... Cheers. Steve.
