Add support for VARCHAR with 1 or 2 length bytes
Enable VARCHAR packing in MyISAM files (previous patch didn't pack data properly)
Give error if we got problems in temporary tables during a SELECT
Don't use new table generated by ALTER TABLE if index generation fails
Fixed wrong call by range_end() (Could cause an ASSERT in debug mode)
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
Added auto-correct of field length for enum/set tables for ALTER TABLE
This is becasue of a bug in previous MySQL 4.1 versions where the length for enum/set was set incorrectly after ALTER TABLE
In server we assume that datetime values stored in MYSQL_TIME struct
are normalized (and year is not greater than 9999), so we should
perform range checks in all places then we convert something to
MYSQL_TIME.
"SHOW CREATE TABLE" mysql-4.0 and mysql-3.23
compatibiliry mode change:
Check that a binary collation adds 'binary'
suffix into a char() column definition in
mysql40 and mysql2323 modes. This allows
not to lose the column's case sensitivity
when loading the dump in pre-4.1 servers.
New mysqltest that can run mysqltest with PS
Added support for ZEROFILL in PS
Fixed crash when one called mysql_stmt_store_result() without a preceding mysql_stmt_bind_result()
Updated test cases to support --ps-protocol
(Some tests are still run using old protocol)
Fixed crash in PS when using SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2...
Fixed crash in PS when using sub queries
Create table didn't signal when table was created. This could cause a "DROP TABLE created_table" in another thread to wait "forever"
Fixed wrong permissions check in PS and multi-table updates (one could get permission denied for legal quries)
Fix for PS and SELECT ... PROCEDURE
Reset all warnings when executing a new PS query
group_concat(...ORDER BY) didn't work with PS
Fixed problem with test suite when not using innodb
The same problem with SET columns:
find_set() now executes find_type2() to do charset aware search,
instead of always using system_charset_info comparison.
Simple optimzations and cleanups
Removed compiler warnings and fixed portability issues
Added client functions 'mysql_embedded()' to allow client to check if we are using embedded server
Fixes for purify
statements and negative time/date values".
The bug was in wrong sprintf format used in the client library.
The fix moves TIME -> string conversion functions to sql-common and
utilized them in the client library.
introduced during implementation of TIMESTAMP columns, which are able
to store NULLs (Unfortunately it is impossible to write test case for
this. Kudos to Holyfoot for noticing it!)
