SQL Script file works with mysql but not mycli.

[Fjeldfross]

Sorry that this is a bit lengthy, I'm just trying to provide what information that I have that may be of use. I'm using version 1.27.2 of mycli.

The following SQL script works without errors using the Windows mysql client but fails when using mycli:

# 	They don't
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `Agents`;
CREATE TABLE `Agents` (
    `agentID` VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    `agent`   VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL UNIQUE
    );
INSERT INTO `Agents` (`agentID`, `agent`) VALUES ('xyz', 'Agent XYZ');

Note that this is an extremely cut down version to try to isolate the problem.

I get the following error message with mycli:

(1064, "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CREATE TABLE Agents(\n agentIDVARCHAR(64) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,\n age' at line 4")`

Please note that there is a character between the "#" and the "They". All other white-space characters are s.

Just remove the apostrophe in "don't" and it works.
Put the apostrophe back and remove the "INSERT INTO..." line and it works.
Replace the "#They" with "#They" and it works.
Replace the "#They" with "#They" and it works.

So I turned on -l and looked in .mycli.log. Looks like I'm getting Python errors logged.

That's a bit beyond the scope of my Python debugging.

This is not mission critical. It did take me quite a while to find a work-around though.
