Bad error message upon ALTER TABLE with wrong ROW_FORMAT

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      MariaDB [test]> CREATE TABLE t1 (i INT);
      Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.20 sec)
       
      MariaDB [test]> ALTER TABLE t1 ROW_FORMAT=FIXED;
      ERROR 1478 (HY000): Table storage engine 'InnoDB' does not support the create option 'ROW_TYPE'
      

      In fact, the engine supports the option, and the option name is wrong. What it doesn't support is the value.
      CREATE TABLE behaves differently:

      MariaDB [test]> CREATE TABLE t2 (i INT) ROW_FORMAT=FIXED;
      ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table `test`.`t2` (errno: 140 "Wrong create options")
      MariaDB [test]> SHOW WARNINGS;

      +---------+------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
      3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
      

      At least the message for error 1478 is better here.
