I have just upgraded from a previous version (2.0.0?) and found some of my code
that used okay to run now gives an error. The function being called is
sqlSave(). I am pretty sure (but not 100% certain) that the data frame I am
trying to save has not changed. I am 100% sure that the ODBC connection
information for MySQL has not changed and I have not updated MySQL.

> sqlSave(lh, data, "survey")
Error in gsub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case, extended, fixed) :

2: sqltablecreate(tablename, colspecs = colspecs, keys = keys)

(I can send the whole structure if that will help)
