This really should not happen on Windows and part of the problem not fixed here is why show create table includes data directory when being run on Windows. However, this patch fixes the bug in mysqldump.c
mysqldump.c:
Added fixPaths function to convert \ to / in data directory and index directory entries only on Windows
Change string->float conversion to delay division as long as possible.
This gives us more exact integer->float conversion for numbers of type '123.45E+02' (Bug #7740)
we store 7 bytes (1 + 2*3) in every Query_log_event.
In the future if users want binlog optimized for small size and less safe,
we could add --binlog-no-charset (and binlog-no-sql-mode etc): charset info
is something by design optional (even if for now we don't offer possibility to disable it):
it's not a binlog format change.
We try to reduce the number of get_charset() calls in the slave SQL thread to a minimum
by caching the charset read from the previous event (which will often be equal to the one of the current event).
We don't use SET ONE_SHOT for charset-aware repl (we still do for timezones, will be fixed later).
No more errors if one changes the global value of charset vars on master or slave
(as we log charset info in all Query_log_event).
Not fixing Load_log_event as it will be rewritten soon by Dmitri.
Testing how mysqlbinlog behaves in rpl_charset.test.
mysqlbinlog needs to know where charset file is (to be able to convert a charset number found
in binlog (e.g. in User_var_log_event) to a charset name); mysql-test-run needs to pass
the correct value for this option to mysqlbinlog.
Many result udpates (adding charset info into every event shifts log_pos in SHOW BINLOG EVENTS).
Roughly the same job is to be done for timezones :)
Added the get_actual_table_name function that issues a SHOW TABLES LIKE '%s'. This will get the table
name in the proper case. We use this table name rather than the one given on the command line. This will
prevent problems when importing SQL on Linux that was generated on a Windows platform where case can be
an issue.
mysqldump.c:
call get_actual_table_name to get the table name in the proper case
