I'm finding that “Copy Table to different DB” and the Synchronisation Wizard are failing when the source database is MySql 4.1 (4.1.6-gamma NT) and the target is MySql 4.0 (4.0.22). The difficulty is in the “Charset” command that's put in the table definition, which isn't recognised by 4.0 and generates an error. But I can't find a way to get it to ignore this behaviour 🙁 The tables are ISAM tables.
Converting to InnoDB isn't an option (yet), and getting a Mysql db upgrade to 4.1 on the target server is also not an option (yet).
Only way is to create a huge batch file and then search/replace for the offending bit, I guess. Irritating.
I'm currently upgrading 4.1.6 to 4.1.9, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the problem because they broke MySql 4.0 with MySql 4.1.
