too many open statements". The patch adds a new global variable
@@max_prepared_stmt_count. This variable limits the total number
of prepared statements in the server. The default value of
@@max_prepared_stmt_count is 16382. 16382 small statements
(a select against 3 tables with GROUP, ORDER and LIMIT) consume
100MB of RAM. Once this limit has been reached, the server will
refuse to prepare a new statement and return ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR
(unfortunately, we can't add new errors to 4.1 without breaking 5.0). The limit is changeable after startup
and can accept any value from 0 to 1 million. In case
the new value of the limit is less than the current
statement count, no new statements can be added, while the old
still can be used. Additionally, the current count of prepared
statements is now available through a global read-only variable
@@prepared_stmt_count.
and new binlog format called "mixed" (which is statement-based except if only row-based is correct,
in this cset it means if UDF or UUID is used; more cases could be added in later 5.1 release):
SET GLOBAL|SESSION BINLOG_FORMAT=row|statement|mixed|default;
the global default is statement unless cluster is enabled (then it's row) as in 5.1-alpha.
It's not possible to use SET on this variable if a session is currently in row-based mode and has open temporary tables (because CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE was not binlogged so temp table is not known on slave), or if NDB is enabled (because
NDB does not support such change on-the-fly, though it will later), of if in a stored function (see below).
The added tests test the possibility or impossibility to SET, their effects, and the mixed mode,
including in prepared statements and in stored procedures and functions.
Caveats:
a) The mixed mode will not work for stored functions: in mixed mode, a stored function will
always be binlogged as one call and in a statement-based way (e.g. INSERT VALUES(myfunc()) or SELECT myfunc()).
b) for the same reason, changing the thread's binlog format inside a stored function is
refused with an error message.
c) the same problems apply to triggers; implementing b) for triggers will be done later (will ask
Dmitri).
Additionally, as the binlog format is now changeable by each user for his session, I remove the implication
which was done at startup, where row-based automatically set log-bin-trust-routine-creators to 1
(not possible anymore as a user can now switch to stmt-based and do nasty things again), and automatically
set --innodb-locks-unsafe-for-binlog to 1 (was anyway theoretically incorrect as it disabled
phantom protection).
Plus fixes for compiler warnings.
Adding test case.
sql_yacc.yy:
Adding TEXT_STRING_filesystem, which
converts from character_set_client to
character_set_conversion.
Replacing TEXT_STRING_sys to TEXT_STRING_filesystem
in LOAD DATA and SELECT INTO OUTFILE contexts.
sql_class.h, sql_class.cc:
Adding character_set_filesystem variable,
and charset_is_character_set_filesystem
flag (to avoid conversion when it's not necessary).
set_var.h, set_var.cc:
Adding sys_var_character_set_filesystem
mysqld.cc:
Adding --character-set-filesystem startup option.
