    Description

      When the SQL_MODE contains the ANSI keyword, show create table no longer displays important table details, like engine and charset.

      This causes confusion, and tools that rely on show create table like mydumper fail to work properly. For example, when dumping a table using the well known and widely used tool mydumper, it saves the table definition in the dump using show create table, and when that dump is later reloaded the table is created with server default engine and charset, which is incorrect (especially when you are trying to build a replica of another server).
