"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.
Added a check to recover from IGNORE_SPACE in this situation:
<ident-character(s)><space><dot><ident-character(s)>
The ignored space led to the false identification of the dot
as an ident separator (like "db.table").
Fixed output from mysqlbinlog when using --skip-comments
Fixed warnings from valgrind
Fixed ref_length when used with HEAP tables
More efficent need_conversion()
Fixed error handling in UPDATE with not updateable tables
Fixed bug in null handling in CAST to signed/unsigned
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.
bmove_allign -> bmove_align
Added OLAP function ROLLUP
Split mysql_fix_privilege_tables to a script and a .sql data file
Added new (MEMROOT*) functions to avoid calling current_thd() when creating some common objects.
Added table_alias_charset, for easier --lower-case-table-name handling
Better SQL_MODE handling (Setting complex options also sets sub options)
New (faster) assembler string functions for x86
