[mythtv-users] database upgrade fail: schema 1160 to 1244

[Jeff Bryner]

Just updated mythtv from 20 to 22 and am stuck on the database update.

Here's the error:

2009-12-08 20:24:31.875 DB Error (Performing database upgrade):
Query was: `/w
Error was: Driver error was [2/1064]:
QMYSQL: Unable to execute query
Database error was:
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 '`/w' at line 1

new version: 1170
2009-12-08 20:24:31.875 Database Schema upgrade FAILED, unlocking.
2009-12-08 20:24:31.875 Couldn't upgrade database to new schema


The odd character makes me think I may be a victim of the mysql  
latin/utf collation bug (I'm gentoo), but I though skipping .21 and  
moving to .22 would avoid that no?

Anyone recognize this as either a collation-related item or an  
existing bug? I searched the archives to no avail..but I did find  
other things I'm going to run into.

FWIW here's my mysql info:
mythtv # mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg -e 'status;'
