Added a try to a normal repair() if repair_by_sort() failed.
This was not done with ENABLE KEYS and OPTIMIZE TABLE.
Fixed error code handling in mysql_alter_table().
Changed the semantics of open_count so that it is decremented
at every unlock (if it was incremented due to data changes).
So it indicates a crash, if it is non-zero after a lock.
The table will then be repaired.
Added support for lower_case_table_names=2, which is to be used on case insensitive file systems.
This tells MySQL to preserve the used case of filenames and database names to make it esier to move files between cases sensitive can case insensitive file systems (like Windows and Linux)
Monty revoked any locks for temporary tables in
ha_myisam::external_lock()
But further code bans using write cache on nonlocked tables
this makes operations much slower
Call pthread_mutex_destroy() on not used mutex.
Changed comments in .h and .c files from // -> /* */
Added detection of mutex on which one didn't call pthread_mutex_destroy()
Fixed bug in create_tmp_field() which causes a memory overrun in queries that uses "ORDER BY constant_expression"
Added optimisation for ORDER BY NULL
Add support for LIMIT # OFFSET #
Changed lock handling: Now all locks should be stored in TABLE_LIST instead of passed to functions.
Don't call query_cache_invalidate() twice in some cases
mysql_change_user() now clears states to be equal to close + connect.
Fixed a bug with multi-table-update and multi-table-delete when used with LOCK TABLES
Fixed a bug with replicate-do and UPDATE
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
(All commit emails since 4.0.1 checked)
This had to be done now, before the 4.1 tree changes to much, to make it easy to propagate bug fixes to the 4.1 tree.
