There are (at least) two implementations of the checksum
computation. One is in MyISAM for the quick checksum. It
is executed on every row change. The other is in the
SQL layer for the extended checksum. It retrieves all rows
of a table via the respective storage engine.
In former MySQL versions varchars were stored with their
maximum length, but now with their real length similar to
blobs.
This change had been forgotten to take care of in the
extended checksum calculation. Hence too much data was
checksumed. In MyISAM this change had been taken care of
already. Only the real data is included in the checksum.
I changed mysql_checksum_table() so that it uses the
length information of true varchar fields instead
of the field length like in former varchar
implementations.
Fixed bugs:
BUG#15991: "innodb-file-per-table + symlink database + rename = crash"
BUG#15650: "DELETE with LEFT JOIN crashes server"
BUG#15308: "Problem of Order with Enum Column in Primary Key"
BUG#14189: "VARBINARY and BINARY variables: trailing space ignored"
table' lockup".
Changes from the innodb-5.0-ss92 snapshot.
Do not call os_file_create_tmpfile() at runtime. Instead, create
all tempfiles at startup and guard access to them with mutexes.
Removed include/Makefile.am and the reference to it.
Deleted db/db0err.h and db directory.
Check index column sizes in a better way (bug 13315).
Fixed comments for memory allocation functions and added
some extra checks. Adapted callers.
to crash".
Changes from snapshot innodb-5.0-ss52.
Note that buf_block_t::index should be protected by btr_search_latch
or an s-latch or x-latch on the index page.
btr_search_drop_page_hash_index(): Read block->index while holding
btr_search_latch and use the cached value in the loop. Remove some
redundant assertions.
Also fix 13778. When FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 we still need to check that
datatypes between foreign key references are compatible.
Also added test cases to 9802.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table

Do not discard lock_type information as handler::start_stmt() may require knowledge.
(fixed by Antony)
* Provide backwards compatibility extension to name resolution of
coalesced columns. The patch allows such columns to be qualified
with a table (and db) name, as it is in 4.1.
Based on a patch from Monty.
* Adjusted tests accordingly to test both backwards compatible name
resolution of qualified columns, and ANSI-style resolution of
non-qualified columns.
For this, each affected test has two versions - one with qualified
columns, and one without.
