Added this option, named as "--dump-slave". The purpose of this option is to be
able to produce a dump from a slave used for making backups of the master. Originally,
dumping from the main master was fine, but as more data accumulated, the dump process
would take over 30 minutes, locking up the master database hence website for 30 minutes.
A slave dedicated to producing backups was the answer, but I needed a dump that could be
used to restore a slave instantly and in order to do that, it has to have three things
contained in the dump:
1. "STOP SLAVE;" at the beginning
2. "CHANGE MASTER TO ...<the master - info from 'show slave status'>"
3. "START SLAVE;" at the end
These options in this changeset contain this.
--stop-slave adds "STOP SLAVE" to the beginning of the dump and "STOP SLAVE"
to the end of the dump.
--include-host gives the user the option to have the host explicitely added
to the "CHANGE MASTER TO ..." line.
--dump-slave adds the "CHANGE MASTER ..." to the dump representing not the slave's
master binlog info, but the slave's master's info from "SHOW SLAVE STATUS"
Feature from Eric Bergen, CLA signed 2007-06-27.
Adds new mysql client option "--auto-vertical-output", which causes
the client to test whether a result table is too wide for the current
window (where available) and emit vertical results in that case.
Otherwise, it sends normal tabular results.
deadlocks
Backport of revno: 2617.68.35
The problem was that if one connection is running a multi-statement
transaction which involves a single partitioned table, and another
connection attempts to alter the table to drop a non-existing partition,
(which of course will fail), the first connection still gets
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and cannot proceed anymore.
This bug is no longer reproducable. This has also been tested with the
patch for Bug#46654 "False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions,
inconsistent behavior" which concerned a similar problem but where the
ALTER TABLE is semantically correct.
Test case added in partition_sync.test.
