    Bug#13618 : mysqldump --xml omits comment on table field · ab2d29ec
    Nirbhay Choubey authored
    When mysqldump tries to dump information in xml format,
    the result does not contain field level comments.
    
    In order to retrieve various informations for a field/column,
    mysqldump currently uses 'show fields from <tab>' statement.
    The attributes returned by the statement lacks the information
    regarding field comments.
    
    Fixed by changing the query to one that probes I_S to retrieve
    required field informations, including the field comment.

      Bug#13618 : mysqldump --xml omits comment on table field.
      
      Replaced the 'show fields' command by a statement that
      queries I_S, in order to retrieve information on all the
      attributes that 'show fields' returns along-with an additional
      column_comment information.
