"EE_ error codes (EE_DELETE, EE_WRITE) end up in the binlog, making slave stop".
The problem was that during execution of the command on the master, an error
can occur (for example, not space left on device, then mysqld waits and when
there is space it completes successfully: so finally it worked but the error
EE_WRITE remains in thd->net.last_errno and thd->net.last_error).
To know if finally the command succeeded, we test the 'error' variable in
every place, and if it shows no failure we reset thd->net.last_err* using
the function THD::clear_error() which is backported from 4.1.
A new test to see if now only real errors get to the binlog (note: the test
uses "rm").
Also a bit of memory free/alloc saving in log_event.cc (do not free the whole
mem_root after every query in the slave SQL thread: we can keep the initial
block of it; which will be freed when the thread terminates).
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.
Multiple tablespaces for InnoDB
sql_table.cc:
Tell explicitly that InnoDB should retrieve all columns in CHECKSUM TABLE
sql_update.cc, sql_select.cc, my_base.h:
More descriptive flag name HA_EXTRA_RETRIEVE_ALL_COLS
Don't free the client's selected db (thd->db) when it has been DROPped,
if this is a slave thread; the x_free() was causing a lot
of various bugs in rpl_loaddata_rule_m (garbage characters, segfault, hangs in
other threads).
A small post-merge fix (rli->inside_transaction exists in 4.0 only).
WL#604 Privileges in embedded library
code added to check privileges in embedded library
NO_EMBEDDED_ACCESS_CHECKS macros inserted in code so we can exclude
access-checking parts. Actually we now can exclude these parts from
standalone server as well. Do we need it?
Access checks are disabled in embedded server by default. One should
edit libmysqld/Makefile manually to get this working.
We definitely need the separate configure for embedded server
