Implicit commit before DDL is an evil not only crippling MySQL, Oracle also.
Its a nonsense. (i should be ashamed as a Oracle DBA).

But MS SQLServer takes care this…just now verified with my colleges SQLServer DBAs. but their implimentation of bit weired..putting a big lock… blocking everything

if Drizzle can get rid of this its a big ++

“Instead, if the table in question does exist, CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS … SELECT behaves like an INSERT INTO … SELECT statement.”

Not quite, for INSERT INTO … SELECT statements a mismatch on number of columns is not allowed, while for CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS … SELECT you have this peculiar behavior with rightmost columns that you cite from the manual.

I guess some people think consistency is overrated …

I think I posted almost the same here (with a view though – not temptable):

Also I have not followed up on what the fix for bug47132 actually does.
