Hi Amer,

Indeed, the 'func' table in the 'mysql' database has the same
structure that you found in your client database.  in your upgrade,
did something go wrong and you did a mysqldump of the mysql database
and reimport?  Are you sure you're in the right database?  What does

describe mysql.func;

show you?

Does the following work?

describe clientdb.func;

(where 'clientdb' is the name of the client database it's in)

If the former and the latter give you a table description and no
errors, I'd say it's OK to delete the func table in the client db.  Is
it in all client dbs or just that one?  A mysqldump/import could have
been editing and done wrong....but I haven't done an in-place upgrade,
so I can't say for sure what the upgrade might or might not do and if
there are bugs or not.

I've just noticed in one of my databases a table named 'func', which I'm
positive I never created.

It was empty and has 4 columns:

4 rows in set (0.01 sec)

A search for 'func' in the 5.0 docs reveals there apparently is a system
table in the mysql database called 'func', but I can't find anything
about why it would be created in a client database.

It does appear in my mysql database as well, but no others. Anyone got
an idea where it's coming from? And can I delete it from the client
database?

I suspect this may have something to do with my recent upgrade to 5.0
but I don't see the purpose, especially as it only appears in one of my
client databases.
