create_tmp_field_from_item() was creating tmp field without regard to
original field type of Item. This results in wrong type being reported to
client.
To create_tmp_field_from_item() added special handling for Items with
DATE/TIME field types to preserve their type.
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.
reset mysql->net.last_error": the solution is to clear
MYSQL->net error before performing COM_CLOSE: if the call
succeeds, the connection is usable for other statements.
More comprehensive fix is to clear MYSQL->net for all
recoverable errors at the time they happen, it will be
implemented in 5.0 as it introduces incompatibility in behavior.
- renamed the tests that use the embedded server (client_test ->
mysql_client_test_embedded, mysqltest -> mysql_test_embedded
and changed some Makefiles and scripts so they are installed in $bindir
(required to be able to run the test suite against the embedded server)
In server we assume that datetime values stored in MYSQL_TIME struct
are normalized (and year is not greater than 9999), so we should
perform range checks in all places then we convert something to
MYSQL_TIME.
Now thd->mem_root is a pointer to thd->main_mem_root and THR_MALLOC is a pointer to thd->mem_root.
This gives us the following benefits:
- Allow us to easily detect if arena has already been swapped before (this fixes a bug in setup_conds() where arena was swaped twice in some cases)
- Faster swaps of arenas (as we don't have to copy the whole MEM_ROOT)
- We don't anymore have to call my_pthread_setspecific_ptr(THR_MALLOC,...) to change where memory is alloced. Now it's enough to set thd->mem_root
of client equals to character set of connection, possibly required
conversion to character set of column is not performed
(prepared statements, data is supplied using placeholders).
Added protocol::flush() for easier embedded-server code
Increase block allocation variables a bit as they where a bit too small for MySQL 4.1
Added option --silent to client_test
