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
into mysql.com:/home/mysql_src/mysql-5.1-merge-of-5.0
(2nd try; Pekka kindly accepted to fix storage/ndb/src/kernel/blocks/dbtup/DbtupRoutines.cpp
and storage/ndb/src/kernel/vm/SimulatedBlock.cpp after I push).
Version for 5.0.
It fixes three problems:
1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
for this problem "the primary bug fix".
2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
Though the function comment clearly said it must.
I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".
3. In 5.0 (not in 4.1 or 4.0) DROP TABLE had a possible deadlock flaw in
concur with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. I call the fix for this
problem "the 5.0 addendum fix".
Indeed now that stored procedures CALL is not binlogged, but instead the invoked substatements are,
the restrictions applied by log-bin-trust-routine-creators=0 are superfluous for procedures.
They still need to apply to functions where function calls are written to the binlog (for example as "DO myfunc(3)").
We rename the variable to log-bin-trust-function-creators but allow the old name until some future version (and issue a warning if old name is used).
- removed some returns on ndb internal error codes, return ndb cause in warnings
- moved all errorcode mapping mysqld-ndb to ndberror.c
- ndb util thread to discover all ndb tables at startup
- ndb util thread to wait for mysqld startup
droping trigger on InnoDB table".
Deadlock occured in cases when we were trying to create two triggers for
the same InnoDB table concurrently and both threads were able to reach
close_cached_table() simultaneously. Bugfix implements new approach to
table locking and table cache invalidation during creation/dropping
of trigger.
No testcase is supplied since bug was repeatable only under high concurrency.
Some options were declared as 'bool', but since those are being
handled in my_getopt.c, bool can be machine dependent. To make
sure it works in all circumstances, the type should be my_bool
for C (not C++) programs.
Handlerton array is now created instead of using sys_table_types_st. All storage engines can now have inits and giant ifdef's are now gone for startup. No compeltely clean yet, handlertons will next be merged with sys_table_types. Federated and archive now have real cleanup if their inits fail.
This bug occurs when some trigger for table used by DML statement is created
or changed while statement was waiting in lock_tables(). In this situation
prelocking set which we have calculated becames invalid which can easily lead
to errors and even in some cases to crashes.
With proposed patch we no longer silently reopen tables in lock_tables(),
instead caller of lock_tables() becomes responsible for reopening tables and
recalculation of prelocking set.
present): the problem originally was that the tables in auxilliary_tables did not have
the correct real_name, which caused problems in the second call to tables_ok().
The fix corrects the real_name problem, and also sets the updating flag properly,
which makes the second call to tables_ok() unnecessary.
