This patch changes the mechanism by which the client enables a
plugin. Instead of using INSERT IGNORE to reload a plugin library,
it now uses REPLACE INTO. This allows users to load a library
multiple times replacing the existing values in the mysql.plugin
table. This allows users to replace the symbol reference to a
different dl name in the table. Thus permitting enabling of
multiple versions of the same library without first disabling
the old version.
A regression test was added to ensure this feature works.
This patch corrects a defect in the building of the DELETE commands for
disabling a plugin whereby only the original plugin data was deleted. If there
were other plugins, the delete did not remove the rows. The code has been
changed to remove all rows from the mysql.plugin table that were inserted when
the plugin was loaded. The test has also been changed to correctly identify if
all rows have been deleted.
This patch corrects a problem found in PB. Some platforms have very
different locations for the mysql installation. The client was not
able to find either my_print_defaults or mysqld predictably.
The patch adds two new command options --mysqld and --my-print-defaults
which can be used to provide the location of mysqld and
my_print_defaults by providing the paths.
The patch also changes the concatenation of the soname extension to
fix a problem found on some Ubuntu systems.
The patch contains changes to the test to ensure it will run on all
platforms. A trap is set in the test to skip testing if the location
of mysqld, my_print_defaults, or the daemon_example.ini files cannot
be determined.
Patch fixes an issue with reading basedir on Windows. It fixes how
the code interprets opt_basedir on Windows by adding the correct
path separators and quotes for paths with spaces.
BUG#12664302 : mysql_plugin cannot recognize the plugin config file
Patch fixes an issue with reading a plugin config file. It adds
more information to the error messages to ensure the user is
using the options correctly. Also deals with paths with spacs on
Windows.
This patch changes the plugin configuration file format to make it
easier to add new plugins and remove complexity. It also adds more
information when plugin configuration file reads fail.
This patch adds a new client utility that enables or disables plugin
features. The utility disables or enables a plugin using values (name,
soname, and symbols) provided via a configuration file by the same name.
For example, to ENABLE the daemon_example plugin, the utility will read
the daemon_example.ini configuration file and use the values contained to
enable or disable the plugin.
