Portability fixes
Added new client function: mysql_get_server_version()
New server help code (From Victor Vagin)
Fixed wrong usage of binary()
Disabled RTREE usage for now.
Fixed comparision of log-binary name to handle comparison when file name extension wraps from .999 to .1000
Don't replicate CREATE/DROP DATABASE if wild_xxx_table=database.% is used.
fixed bug of calling setup_fields without correct lex->current_select pointer in mysql_derived
more correct creation of reference in Item_field::fix_field
Changed timestamp to return string in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.
DATE_ADD() and related functions now returns correct DATE/DATETIME type depending on argument types.
Now all tests passes, still some work left to remove warnings in log files from mysql-test-run
Class for sending data from server to client (Protocol)
This handles both the old ( <= 4.0 ) protocol and then new binary protocol that is used for prepared statements.
Warning handling and initial prepared statement handling (last not complete yet)
Changed a lot of functions that returned 0/1 to my_bool type.
GRANT handling now uses read/write locks instead of mutex
Change basic net functions to use THD instead of NET
(needed for 4.1 protocol)
Use my_sprintf instead of sprintf() + strlen()
Added alloc_query() to be able to chare query initialization code with
prepared statements.
Cleanup handling of SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS and SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
Note that the following test fails (will be fixed ASAP):
sub_select, union, rpl_rotate_logs and rpl_mystery22
Some simple optimzations, more comments and indentation changes.
Add ` around database in 'use database' in binary log.
Moved max_error_count and max_warning_count to variables struct.
Removed SHOW_WARNS_COUNT and SHOW_ERRORS_COUNT calls.
Changed string functions to use character set of first string argument as default return characterset
(Each string function can change the above assumption if needed)
Fixed bugs in my last changeset that made MySQL hard to compile.
Added mutex around some data that could cause table cache corruptions when using OPTIMIZE TABLE / REPAIR TABLE or automatic repair of MyISAM tables.
Added mutex around some data in the slave start/stop code that could cause THD linked list corruptions
Extended my_chsize() to allow one to specify a filler character.
Extend vio_blocking to return the old state (This made some usage of this function much simpler)
Added testing for some functions that they caller have got the required mutexes before calling the function.
Use setrlimit() to ensure that we can write core file if one specifies --core-file.
Added --slave-compressed-protocol
Made 2 the minimum length for ft_min_word_len
Added variables foreign_key_checks & unique_checks.
Less logging from replication code (if not started with --log-warnings)
Changed that SHOW INNODB STATUS requre the SUPER privilege
More DBUG statements and a lot of new code comments
