because config.status may later need this file (if it does not find it
it won't incorporate dependencies of errmsg.sys in sql/share/Makefile) (thx Serg).
In sql/share/Makefile.am using "all:" leads to double-"all:" in Makefile (thx Konstantin).
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.
Added basic per-thread time zone functionality (based on public
domain elsie-code). Now user can select current time zone
(from the list of time zones described in system tables).
All NOW-like functions honor this time zone, values of TIMESTAMP
type are interpreted as values in this time zone, so now
our TIMESTAMP type behaves similar to Oracle's TIMESTAMP WITH
LOCAL TIME ZONE (or proper PostgresSQL type).
WL#1266 "CONVERT_TZ() - basic time with time zone conversion
function".
Fixed problems described in Bug #2336 (Different number of warnings
when inserting bad datetime as string or as number). This required
reworking of datetime realted warning hadling (they now generated
at Field object level not in conversion functions).
Optimization: Now Field class descendants use table->in_use member
instead of current_thd macro.
- New solution after discussions with Sergei, no handler specific code or error messages should be in sql layer.
next_result, only check for error if check is -1
Improved index_read
