more general message when slave can't start because of incorrect
replication information, the previous one was sometimes a misleading
indication (i.e. sometimes the problem had nothing to do with
system permissions).
The perfect fix would be to report the exact error to the client
(instead of pointing the client to the error log); this is a bit
of work so it's more a development task:
WL#1088 "Move all hardcoded messages of replication to share/errmsg.txt".
I was not able to modify the errmsg.txt in these sql/ subdirectories:
danish
dutch
german
italian
portuguese
russian
spanish
swedish
ukrainian
and BUG#1654: Stored Procedure Crash if contains subquery and set function
Disallowed subselects in RETURN (for FUNCTIONs) and SET of local variables.
The latter should work, but turned out to be difficult to fix, so we just
disallow it for the time being.
WL#1284 (warnings about --skip-name-resolve)
Now MySQL will issue warnings during startup about entries in
grant tables with hostnames that require resolve, and after
GRANT commands with that kind of hostnames.
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Cleaned up (and disabled part of) date/time/datetime format patch. One can't anymore change default read/write date/time/formats.
This is becasue the non standard datetime formats can't be compared as strings and MySQL does still a lot of datetime comparisons as strings
Changed flag argument to str_to_TIME() and get_date() from bool to uint
Removed THD from str_to_xxxx functions and Item class.
Fixed core dump when doing --print-defaults
Move some common string functions to strfunc.cc
Dates as strings are now of type my_charset_bin instead of default_charset()
Introduce IDENT_QUOTED to not have to create an extra copy of simple identifiers (all chars < 128)
Removed xxx_FORMAT_TYPE enums and replaced them with the old TIMESTAMP_xxx enums
Renamed some TIMESTAMP_xxx enums to more appropriate names
Use defines instead of integers for date/time/datetime string lengths
Added to build system and use the new my_strtoll10() function.
