The problem was in redundant calls to strlen() in string functions,
where we may then return after checking only the small number of characters.
No test case is provided since it's a performance fix.
The length of the prefix of the pattern string in the LIKE predicate that
determined the index range to be scanned was calculated incorrectly for
multi-byte character sets.
As a result of this in 4. 1 the the scanned range was wider then necessary
if the prefix contained not only one-byte characters.
In 5.0 additionally it caused missing some rows from the result set.
A prerequisite for several fulltext and XML bugs.
MY_CHARSET_HANDLER now has a new function "ctype"
to detect a type of the next character in a string
(i.e. digit, letter, space, punctuation, control, etc),
which now works correctly for both 8bit and multibyte charsets.
Previously only 8bit charsets worked correctly,
while any multibyte character was considered as letter
in multibyte charsets.
Many files:
Adding new function
Makefile.am:
Adding build rules for uctypedump,
a dump tool to create my_uctype.h
using Unicode Character Database file.
m_ctype.h:
Adding declaration of my_uni_ctype,
ctype data for Unicode.
Adding new member into MY_CHARSET_HANDLER
Makefile.am:
Adding my_uctype.h into noinst_HEADERS
my_uctype.h, uctypedump.c:
new files:
ctype data for unicode,
and the tool to generate it from
a Unicode Character Database file.
index doesn't return correct result
item_cmpfunc.cc:
Use charset of LIKE to decide whether
to use 8bit or Unicode "escape" value.
But use charset of "escape" to scan escape character.
strings/ctype-xxx.c:
We cannot reduce "end" pointer using charpos(),
because of possible escape characters in the string.
Limit the loop using count of written characters instead.
ctype_like_escape.inc:
new file
mysql-test/t/ctype_xxx:
mysql-test/r/ctype_xxx:
Adding test case.
ctype-cp932.c:
ctype-gbk.c:
ctype-mb.c:
ctype-simple.c:
ctype-sjis.c:
ctype-ucs2.c:
ctype-ujis.c:
ctype-utf8.c:
Adding explicit cast to return type
in pointer substructions to avoid
warnings from some compilers.
UPPER/LOWER now can return a string with different length.
mi_test1.c:
Adding new arguments.
Many files:
Changeing caseup/casedn to return a result with different
length than argument.
sql_string.h:
Removing unused method,
mysql_priv.h:
Removing unused method
Gluh's SESSION/GLOBAL for @variables fix in sql_yacc.yy and
Bar's well_formed_len() changes in ndb code
did not make it and should be re-applied manually
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
Fix for binary collations for MyISAM and HEAP BTREE.
This patch also changes trailing spaces behaviour for
binary collations. Binary collations now have PAD
characteristic too.
Don't read character set files if we are using only the default charset. In most cases the user will not anymore get a warning about missing character set files
Compare strings with space extend instead of space strip. Now the following comparisons holds: "a" == "a " and "a\t" < "a". (Bug #3152).
Note: Because of the above fix, one has to do a REPAIR on any table that has an ascii character < 32 last in a CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns.
Added more DBUG statements
Ensure that we are comparing end space with BINARY strings
Use 'any_db' instead of '' to mean any database. (For HANDLER command)
Only strip ' ' when comparing CHAR, not other space-like characters (like \t)
