build with --with-extra-charsets=all

[Kostas Chatzikokolakis]

We are using greek character set in some tables. When trying to --prepare, I was getting the following error (xtrabackup 1.5, MySQL 5.1.41):

InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread
1214785856 in file xtrabackup.c line 1070

In this thread it is mentioned that this is a charset issue and the solution is to build with enough character sets:
http://groups.google.com/group/percona-discussion/browse_thread/thread/68301ff3288443d6/6d8ef9d3dd144291?lnk=gst&q=character+set&pli=1

I built with -with-extra-charsets=all and the problem is gone. So, unless it causes any issues (I'm no expert in building mysql), it would be hugely useful if the provided binary builds include all character sets.

Could you please add a sample table dump containing greek characters to this bug report?

[Vadim Tkachenko (vadim-tk)]

Ignacio, this should be done when you build binary

Hi all,
sorry for bringing this up again, but I wanted to ask, whether this is already featured in v2.0.6, as I am currently having the same problem.

What I am trying to ask, is the binary version of XtraBackup, that can be downloaded from percona.com built with the above mentioned option, or not?

Jan,

Yes, 2.0.6 is built with extra_charsets=all. If you are having a similar problem, please report it as a bug.
