| Subject: | Field comments with embedded ' aren't recognised properly |
Some of our tables have definitions like:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
`ID` int(11) COMMENT 'text ''quoted text'' more text',
`keyword` text NOT NULL,
etc
Note the quoted text in the comment.
The grammar for field comments doesn't allow embedded ' in comments, and
so it doesn't recognise the above as a valid field definition.
The patch below (against 0.08001) solves this problem
