This patch allows to configure MyISAM for 128 indexes per table.
The main problem is the key_map, wich is implemented as an ulonglong.
To get rid of the limit and keep the efficient and flexible
implementation, the highest bit is now used for all upper keys.
This means that the lower keys can be disabled and enabled
individually as usual and the high keys can only be disabled and
enabled as a block. That way the existing test suite is still
applicable, while more keys work, though slightly less efficient.
To really get more than 64 keys, some defines need to be changed.
Another patch will address this.
This ensures that my_file_info takes this the max number of files into account and one can now use --open-files-limit on windows to increase number of used files up to 2048
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.
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)
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
Speed up column-completion in 'mysql'
Don't use ISAM if HAVE_ISAM is not defined
A lot of fixes for the embedded version. All libraries are now included in libmysqld.a
Changed arguments to convert_dirname() to make it more general.
Renamed files in the 'merge' directory to all use a common prefix.
Don't compile both assembler and C functions on x86
Added preliminary handling of symlinks in MyISAM.
When using myisamchk to check tables with --force, don't repair
tables that are marked as 'not closed' if they are ok.
Change fn_format() to use my_real_path and my_symlink
