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.
using GROUP BY"
Now we are setting Field_timestamp::field_length to 19 in open_table()
if we are in new mode (and we are restoring it back when we are coming
back to normal mode). This also should solve potential problems with
some of LOAD DATA INFILE and SELECT * INTO in this mode.
fixed IN subselect with basic constant left expression
SQLCOM_CREATE_TABLE, SQLCOM_UPDATE_MULTI, SQLCOM_REPLACE_SELECT, SQLCOM_INSERT_SELECT, QLCOM_DELETE_MULTI fixed to be compatible with PS (BUG#3398, BUG#3406)
fixed multiupdate privelege check (BUG#3408)
fixed multiupdate tables check (BUG#3411)
unchecked commands now is rejected by PS protocol to avoid serever crash
fixed cleunup procedure to be compatible sith DO/SET (BUG#3393)
Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
Actually it is not a bug but right behavior observed as pefomance
degradation after we have forced Item_field::fix_fields() to
re-execute each time when we are executing prep stmt.
This patch implements small optimization which heals this bad
behavior. We are caching field position in TABLE::field array in
Item's member and are using this position for speeding up field
lookups in fix_fields() in case of its re-execution.
Fixed problem with char > 128 in QUOTE() function. (Bug #1868)
Disable creation of symlinks if my_disable_symlink is set
Fixed searching of TEXT with end space. (Bug #1651)
Fixed caching bug in multi-table-update where same table was used twice. (Bug #1711)
Fixed problem with UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for timestamps close to 0. (Bug #1998)
Fixed timestamp.test
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.
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.
