Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
This is to enable table handlers to implement online create/drop index.
It consists of some parts:
- New default handler methods in handler.h
- Split of mysql_alter_table. It decides if only one kind of
alteration is to be done (e.g. only create indexes or only drop
indexes etc.) It then calls the specialized new handler method if
the handler implements it. Otherwise it calls real_alter_table.
- The parser sets flags for each alter operation detected in a
command. These are used by mysql_alter_table for the decision.
- mysql_prepare_table is pulled out of mysql_create_table. This is
also used by mysql_create_index to prepare the key structure array
for the handler. It is also used by mysql_create_index and
mysql_drop_index to prepare a call to mysql_create_frm.
- mysql_create_frm is pulled out of rea_create_table for use by
mysql_create_index and mysql_drop_index after the index is
created/dropped.
Thanks to Antony who supplied most of the changes.
"Running ANALYZE TABLE on bdb table inside a transaction hangs server thread"
1. added new status HA_ADMIN_REJECT and processing of it in mysql_admin_table
2. got ha_berkley::analyze to return HA_ADMIN_REJECT if there are any
transactions with the table..
BINARY(N) and VARBIBARY(N)
2. More 4.0 compatibility and more BINARY keyword consistency:
2a. CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) BINARY)
is now synonym for
CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) COLLATE xxxx_bin)
2b. SELECT BINARY x
is still synonin for
SELECT x COLLATE xxxxx_bin.
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)
Remove redundant code; parse both the database name and the table name in a FOREIGN KEY constraint with quotes in mind
row0mysql.c, ha_innodb.cc, sql_table.cc:
Return error message Cannot delete or update a parent row... if we try to drop a table which is referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint, and the user has not set foreign_key_checks=0
Added support for lower_case_table_names=2, which is to be used on case insensitive file systems.
This tells MySQL to preserve the used case of filenames and database names to make it esier to move files between cases sensitive can case insensitive file systems (like Windows and Linux)
