binlog coordinates corresponding to the dump".
The good news is that now mysqldump can be used to get an online backup of InnoDB *which works for
point-in-time recovery and replication slave creation*. Formerly, mysqldump --master-data --single-transaction
used to call in fact mysqldump --master-data, so the dump was not an online dump (took big lock all time of dump).
The only lock which is now taken in this patch is at the beginning of the dump: mysqldump does:
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT; SHOW MASTER STATUS; UNLOCK TABLES;
so the lock time is in fact the time FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK takes to return (can be 0 or very long, if
a table is undergoing a huge update).
I have done some more minor changes listed in the paragraph of mysqldump.c.
WL#2237 "WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT clause for START TRANSACTION":
it's a START TRANSACTION which additionally starts a consistent read on all
capable storage engine (i.e. InnoDB). So, can serve as a replacement for
BEGIN; SELECT * FROM some_innodb_table LIMIT 1; which starts a consistent read too.
DROP DATABASE failed because of file ext not in TYPELIB of known extensions.
General solution - construct a TYPELIB at runtime instead of a static list.
not know there's rollback (if it's because of a dupl row), better warn
that it's happening. It can also be of use for a DBA killing a
connection and wondering what this connection is still doing now. Example:
| 5 | root | localhost | test | Killed | 10 | Rolling back | insert into i select * from j |
column types TIMESTAMP is NOT NULL by default, so in order to have
TIMESTAMP column holding NULL valaues you have to specify NULL as
one of its attributes (this needed for backward compatibility).
Main changes:
Replaced TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now members with
TABLE::timestamp_auto_set_type flag which is used everywhere
for determining if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field
during this operation or not. We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time()
instead of handler::update_timestamp() in handlers.
* Changed the implementation of ndbcluster_find_files to be more efficient, using only one mutex lock
* Moved ha_find_files to end of mysql_find_files so that it can be passed the list that we are interested to find.
This allows one to setup a master <-> master replication with non conflicting auto-increment series.
Cleaned up binary log code to make it easyer to add new state variables.
Added simpler 'upper level' logic for artificial events (events that should not cause cleanups on slave).
Simplified binary log handling.
Changed how auto_increment works together with to SET INSERT_ID=# to make it more predictable: Now the inserted rows in a multi-row statement are set independent of the existing rows in the table. (Before only InnoDB did this correctly)
Fixed (together with Guilhem) bugs in mysqlbinlog regarding --offset
Prefix addresses with 0x for easier comparisons of debug logs
Fixed problem where MySQL choosed index-read even if there would be a much better range on the same index
This fix changed some 'index' queries to 'range' queries in the test suite
Don't create 'dummy' WHERE clause for trivial WHERE clauses where we can remove the WHERE clause.
This fix removed of a lot of 'Using where' notes in the test suite.
Give NOTE instead of WARNING if table/function doesn't exists when using DROP IF EXISTS
Give NOTE instead of WARNING for safe field-type conversions
added tests to alter table for "large" alter tables and truncates in ndbcluster
added debug printout in restart() in ndbcluster
added flag THD::transaction.on to enable/disable transaction
in a deadlock-free manner. This splits locking the global read lock in two steps.
This fixes a consequence of this bug, known as:
BUG#4953 'mysqldump --master-data may report incorrect binlog position if using InnoDB'
And a test.
