The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.
in short we now record whenever the slave I/O thread ignores a master's event because of its server id,
and use this info in the slave SQL thread to advance Exec_master_log_pos. Because if we
do not, this variable stays at the position of the last executed event, i.e. the last *non-ignored*
executed one, which may not be the last of the master's binlog (and so the slave *looks* behind
the master though it's data-wise it's not).
- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
(Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code
we now issue a warning (at slave's server startup only) when a relay log is named
using the implicit hostname-relay-bin naming. Like we already do for binlogs.
Some options were declared as 'bool', but since those are being
handled in my_getopt.c, bool can be machine dependent. To make
sure it works in all circumstances, the type should be my_bool
for C (not C++) programs.
present): the problem originally was that the tables in auxilliary_tables did not have
the correct real_name, which caused problems in the second call to tables_ok().
The fix corrects the real_name problem, and also sets the updating flag properly,
which makes the second call to tables_ok() unnecessary.
- Fixed some error condtion when handling dates with 'T'
- Added extra test for bug #11867 (Wrong result with "... WHERE ROW( a, b ) IN ( SELECT DISTINCT a, b WHERE ...)" to show it's not yet fixed
- Safety fixes and cleanups
Fixed portability problem with bool in C programs
Moved close_thread_tables out from LOCK_thread_count mutex (safety fix)
my_sleep() -> pthread_cond_timedwait()
ETIME was returned by cond_timedwait (sic, the pre-POSIX1001b function) on
Solaris 2.6 and 2.7. pthread_cond_timedwait on Solaris returns ETIMEDOUT.
The standard requirement is that the only additional return value
of pthred_cond_timedwait compared to pthread_cond_wait is ETIMEDOUT.
Let us not bloat the application code with redundant checks,
and if we're ever to work on a platform that returns a non-standard
value, we should write a wrapper for that platform (like we do, e.g., for
Windows).
