This is for bug #29446 "Specifying a myisam_sort_buffer > 4GB on 64 bit machines not possible". Support for myisam_sort_buffer_size > 4 GB on 64-bit Windows will be looked at later in 5.2.
Problem: setting/displaying @@LC_TIME_NAMES didn't distinguish between
GLOBAL and SESSION variable types - always SESSION variable
was set/shonw.
Fix: set either global or session value.
Also, "mysqld --lc-time-names" was added to set "global default" value.
Problem: replication of LC_TIME_NAMES didn't work.
Thus, INSERTS or UPDATES using date_format() always
worked with en_US on the slave side.
Fix: adding ONE_SHOT implementation for LC_TIME_NAMES.
Zero-length variables caused failures when using the length to look
up the name in a hash. Instead, signal that no zero-length name can
ever be found and that to encounter one is a syntax error.
The problem was that we restored SQL_CACHE, SQL_NO_CACHE flags in SELECT
statement from internal structures based on value set later at runtime, not
the original value set by the user.
The solution is to remember that original value.
Bug #19606: ssl variables are not displayed in show variables
Bug #19616: log_queries_not_using_indexes is not listed in show variables
Make basedir, datadir, tmpdir, log_queries_not_using_indexes, ssl_ca,
ssl_capath, ssl_cert, ssl_cipher, and ssl_key all available both from
SHOW VARIABLES and as @@variables.
As a side-effect of this change, log_queries_not_using_indexes can
be changed at runtime (but only globally, not per-connection).
Bug #15684: @@version_* are not all SELECTable
Added the appropriate information as read-only system variables, and
also removed some special-case handling of @@version along the way.
@@version_bdb was added, but isn't included in the test because it
depends on the presence of BDB.
Variable character_set_system is selectable now
More accurate error message results during
update of character_set_system and some other read only variables
character_set_results is nullable, but value_ptr returns string "NULL"
set_var.cc:
Create Item_null instead of Item_string for NULL values
variables.result, variables.test:
adding test case
Change bool in C code to my_bool
Added to mysqltest --enable_parsning and --disable_parsing to avoid to have to comment parts of tests
Added comparison of LEX_STRING's and use this to compare file types for view and trigger files.
set_var.cc:
variables.result
variables.test
Bug #10904 Illegal mix of collations between a system variable and a constant
Changing coercibility of system variables to SYSCONST,
to be the same with USER(), DATABASE(), etc.
myisam_max_extra_sort_file_size is depricated
Ensure that myisam_data_pointer_size is honoured when creating new MyISAM files
Changed default value of myisam_data_pointer_size from 4 to 6 to get rid of 'table-is-full' errors
BUG#9738 "SHOW VARIABLES still displays the deprecated 'log_update' in 5.0",
BUG#9542 "MySQL dies with signal 11 when it is using non-existent location of binary logs"
