mysql server has an error, broken or wrong data.

[Zhang Weiwu, Beijing]

Hello. This error message on the subject line is translated back from
Chinese to English. Having Chinese GUI on an English installation
(selected English on installer) on a Chinese computer itself is a wired
thing, but that's a separate bug or topic.

Here is how this issue happened:

    * Copy a working .gnucash file (produced by gnucash 2.2.9) to Windows XP
    * Install 2.4.7 on Windows XP
    * Open the .gnucash file successfully.
    * Save as mysql. fill in host and mysql username & password, click
      "Save as" (mysql database is newly created and empty)
    * Wait 5 minutes, get this error message:
      "mysql server has an error, broken or wrong data."

Where do you suggest me to go from here?

By the way, I intended to use postgresql, but there is no such a save-as
option in gnucash 2.4.7 XP edition.

The list of tables on the mysql database tables after the error occurs
is listed here FYI:

$ echo 'show tables;' | mysql -h houyhnhnms -u gnucash -pfake_password
