Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.32-7etch4 Severity: important Greetings, On a fresh mysql install, I used mysqladmin to create a database, but inadvertantly used "mysqladmin create database blah", and ended up creating a database called database. Once realized I fired up mysql (the interactive one), and attempted to drop it using "drop database database;", and was met with a syntax error. It appears as though you can create databases with reserved keywords, but you are unable to delete them.
