The server sends a number of columns to the client.
It uses a limited "fast" function for that instead of the
general one. This fast function cannot send numbers larger
than 2 bytes.
This causes the client to expect smaller number of columns.
The client writes outside of the allocated memory buffer
as a result.
Fixed the server to use the general function to send column
count.
Fixed the client to check the column count before writing
column data.
Added protocol::flush() for easier embedded-server code
Increase block allocation variables a bit as they where a bit too small for MySQL 4.1
Added option --silent to client_test
after Monty's review.
- Item_param was rewritten.
- it turns out that we can't convert string data to character set of
connection on the fly, because they first should be written to the binary
log.
To support efficient conversion we need to rewrite prepared statements
binlogging code first.
Fixed compiler warnings (a lot of hidden variables detected by the Forte compiler)
Added a lot of 'version_xxx' strings to 'show variables'
Prevent copying of TMP_TABLE_PARAM (This caused core dump bug on Solaris)
Fixed problem with printing sub selects to debug log
Class for sending data from server to client (Protocol)
This handles both the old ( <= 4.0 ) protocol and then new binary protocol that is used for prepared statements.
