Problems with mysqldbcompare utility. Database consistency check fails every time

Question

I am trying to compare two local databases using the mysqldbcompare utility. The check always shows database consistency check fails. I have tried check and repair command. But to no avail.

I have used the following code and get

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.47\utilities>mysqldbcompare --s
erver1=root@localhost --server2=root@localhost ebookshop:ebookpub --run-all-tests

# server1 on localhost: ... connected.
# server2 on localhost: ... connected.
# Checking databases ebookshop on server1 and ebookpub on server2
#
# Object definitions differ. (--changes-for=server1)
#

--- ebookshop
+++ ebookpub
@@ -1,1 +1,1 @@
-CREATE DATABASE `ebookshop` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */
+CREATE DATABASE `ebookpub` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */

# -------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Database consistency check failed.

# ...done

I am fairly new to this area. Help is really appreciated.

Answer 1

It's failing because there are differences in your databases.

1. One's named ebookpub and ebookshop respectively.
2. ebookshop has table books; ebookpub has book1

Basically it's working as you'd expect. So "failed" isn't a bad thing.

And you're appropriately using the flag --run-all-tests so, it will show you all failures without stopping at the first one.
