Table 'tbl_name' doesn't exist
If you get either of the following errors, it usually means that no table exists in the default database with
the given name:
Table 'tbl_name' doesn't exist
Can't find file: 'tbl_name' (errno: 2)
In some cases, it may be that the table does exist but that you are referring to it incorrectly:
• Because MySQL uses directories and files to store databases and tables, database and table names
are case sensitive if they are located on a file system that has case-sensitive file names.
• Even for file systems that are not case sensitive, such as on Windows, all references to a given table
within a query must use the same lettercase.
You can check which tables are in the default database with
Syntax".

character sets. See
• The character set is a simple character set that is not compiled into mysqld, and the character set
definition files are not in the place where the client expects to find them.
In this case, you need to use one of the following methods to solve the problem:
• Recompile the client with support for the character set. See
