The problem was that when converting a string to an exact number,
rounding didn't work, because conversion didn't understand
approximate numbers notation.
Fix: a new function for string-to-number conversion was implemented,
which is aware of approxinate number notation (with decimal point
and exponent, e.g. -19.55e-1)
into parts when converting to Unicode.
m_ctype.h:
Reorganizing mb_wc return codes to be able
to return "an unassigned N-byte-long character".
sql_string.cc:
Adding code to detect and properly handle
unassigned characters (i.e. the those character
which are correctly formed according to the
character specifications, but don't have Unicode
mapping).
Many files:
Fixing conversion function to return new codes.
ctype_ujis.test, ctype_gbk.test, ctype_big5.test:
Adding a test case.
ctype_ujis.result, ctype_gbk.result, ctype_big5.result:
Fixing results accordingly.
new file
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql, mysql_create_system_tables.sh:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: fixing "password" type, not to be 0x00-padding.
Many files:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: fixing tests not to output 0x00 bytes.
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: new pad_char structure member.
ctype-bin.c:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY: new pad_char structure member.
New strnxfrm, with two trailing length bytes.
field.cc:
Adding true BINARY/VARBINARY.
ctype_latin1.test, ctype_latin1.result:
adding test case
ctype-latin1.c:
Fixing ctype array to treat extended cp1252
letters as valid identifiers on server side,
and as valid "isprint" characters (e.g. on client side).
In cp932, '\' character can be the second byte in a
multi-byte character stream. This makes it difficult to use
mysql_escape_string. Added flag to indicate which languages allow
'\' as second byte of multibyte sequence so that when putting a prepared
statement into the binlog we can decide at runtime whether hex encoding
is really needed.
Index.xml:
Fixing latin1 comment:
it is actually cp1252, not iso-8859-1
ctype_latin1.result:
changeing test results accordingly.
ctype-latin1.c:
Fixed to- and from-Unicode conversion maps
for better Unicode round trip of undefined
characters.
UPPER/LOWER now can return a string with different length.
mi_test1.c:
Adding new arguments.
Many files:
Changeing caseup/casedn to return a result with different
length than argument.
sql_string.h:
Removing unused method,
mysql_priv.h:
Removing unused method
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
Don't read character set files if we are using only the default charset. In most cases the user will not anymore get a warning about missing character set files
Compare strings with space extend instead of space strip. Now the following comparisons holds: "a" == "a " and "a\t" < "a". (Bug #3152).
Note: Because of the above fix, one has to do a REPAIR on any table that has an ascii character < 32 last in a CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns.
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)
sequence boundaries in functions LIKE and LOCATE in
the case of "binary" collation. Comparison was done
like if the strings were just a binary strings without
character set assumption.
