The objects of this class represent multiple conjunctive equalities
in where conditions: =(f1,f2,...fn) <=> f1=f2 and f2= ... and =fn.
The objects are used to generate new possibale paths to access
the tables when executing a query.
They are also used to optimize the execution plan
chosen by the optimizer for the query.
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Cleaned up (and disabled part of) date/time/datetime format patch. One can't anymore change default read/write date/time/formats.
This is becasue the non standard datetime formats can't be compared as strings and MySQL does still a lot of datetime comparisons as strings
Changed flag argument to str_to_TIME() and get_date() from bool to uint
Removed THD from str_to_xxxx functions and Item class.
Fixed core dump when doing --print-defaults
Move some common string functions to strfunc.cc
Dates as strings are now of type my_charset_bin instead of default_charset()
Introduce IDENT_QUOTED to not have to create an extra copy of simple identifiers (all chars < 128)
Removed xxx_FORMAT_TYPE enums and replaced them with the old TIMESTAMP_xxx enums
Renamed some TIMESTAMP_xxx enums to more appropriate names
Use defines instead of integers for date/time/datetime string lengths
Added to build system and use the new my_strtoll10() function.
The above query created a field of koi8r charset, not cp1251
Change:
CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(1) CHARACTER SET utf8)
Length now means character length, not byte length.
The above creates a field that guarantees can store a multibyte value
1 character long. For utf8 the above creates a field that can store
3 bytes.
