Bug 7142 Show Fields from fails using Borland's dbExpress interface
The reason is we can't fix bug#7142 without
breaking of existing applications/APIs that worked fine with earlier 4.1
bug 7142 is fixed in 5.0
No separate typecode for MEDIUMTEXT/LONGTEXT is added, as we
have no sound decision yet what typecodes and for what types are
sent by the server (aka what constitutes a distinct type in MySQL).
The problem here is that columns that have an especially long type
such as an enum type with many options would be longer than 40 chars
but the type column returned from show columns always was defined
as varchar(40).
This is fixed in 5.0 using info schema.
- Add function Item_param::fix_fields which will update any subselect they are part of and indicate that the subsleect is not const during prepare phase, and thus should not be executed during prepare.
not default_charset_into. It fixes the
problem that in some cases numbers where
treated as CHAR(N), not as BINARY(N), e.g.
wrong 'charsetnr' when sent to the client side.
2. IFNULL didn't aggregate argument charsets
and collations, so IFNULL(1,'a') produced
a CHAR(N). Now produces a BINARY(N).
3. SELECT PROCEDURE ANALIZE now returns
BINARY columns, which is much better than it worked
previously: CHAR with the default character set.
But in the future it's worth to fix the fields
'Field_name' and 'Optimal_fieldtype' to use UTF8,
and 'Min_value' and 'Max_value' to inherit their charsets
from the original items. But it is not important,
and BINARY(N) is OK for now.
4. Tests were fixed accordingly. No new tests were
made, as the old onces cover everything.
the result takes its charset/collation
attributes from the character string,
e.g. SELECT func(NULL, _latin2'string')
now returns a latin2 result. This is
done by introducing a new derivation
(aka coercibility) level DERIVATION_IGNORABLE,
which is used with Item_null.
2. 'Pure' NULL is now BINARY(0), not CHAR(0).
I.e. NULL is now more typeless.
character set with NULL, @a should be latin2
after this query sequence:
SET @a=_latin2'string';
SET @a=NULL;
I.e. the second query should not change the charset
to the current default value, but should keep the
original value assigned during the first query.
In order to do it, we don't copy charset
from the argument if the argument is NULL
and the variable has previously been initialized.
if possible"
- many new test cases
- more and improved comments
New files: t/ps_7ndb.test test suite for NDB tables
r/ps_7ndb.result expected results
include/ps_conv.inc conversion test cases
+ review comments and fixes.
They are separated from the other WL#1856 stuff, because they improve the behaviour of the current tests.
Make the result sets (order of rows) more predictable by using ORDER BY.
TIMESTAMP columns should be unsigned to preserve compatibility with 4.0
(Or else InnoDB will return different internal TIMESTAMP values when user upgrades to 4.1).
Altough this fix will introduce problems with early 4.1 -> 4.1 upgrades (tables with
TIMESTAMP field should be reloaded using mysqldump) it will allow easy 4.0 -> 4.1
upgrade (which is more important since 4.1 is still beta).
new tests to ensure that prepared statement *really* work
(and that MySQL not picks up some number from arbitrary location
that happens to match the parameter's value)
