Now we are using time zone abbreviations in debug builds or in utlities only.
Tried to remove warnings generated by compiler by using more proper types for
members of time zone describing structures. Removed unused variables.
Fixed test_time to be able to build on FreeBSD without much problems.
Portability fix: resolved ambiguity of abs() function.
Won't be pushed as is - separate email sent for internal review.
WL#1717 "binlog-innodb consistency".
Now when mysqld starts, if InnoDB does a crash recovery, we use the binlog name
and position retrieved from InnoDB (corresponding to the last transaction
successfully committed by InnoDB) to cut any rolled back transaction from
the binary log. This is triggered by the --innodb-safe-binlog option.
Provided you configure mysqld to fsync() InnoDB at every commit (using
flush_log_at_trx_commit) and to fsync() the binlog at every write
(using --sync-binlog=1), this behaviour guarantees that a master always has
consistency between binlog and InnoDB, whenever the crash happens.
6 tests to verify that it works.
mysqld >=4.1.3 will however understand shutdown requests sent by clients <4.1.3.
And mysqld <4.1.3 will understand shutdown requests sent by clients >=4.1.3
(it will ignore the level). Those shutdown level are just PLACEHOLDERS now.
So this change is just to make the 4.1 API suitable before it is frozen. Later
we will actually implement the shutdown levels.
Added basic per-thread time zone functionality (based on public
domain elsie-code). Now user can select current time zone
(from the list of time zones described in system tables).
All NOW-like functions honor this time zone, values of TIMESTAMP
type are interpreted as values in this time zone, so now
our TIMESTAMP type behaves similar to Oracle's TIMESTAMP WITH
LOCAL TIME ZONE (or proper PostgresSQL type).
WL#1266 "CONVERT_TZ() - basic time with time zone conversion
function".
Fixed problems described in Bug #2336 (Different number of warnings
when inserting bad datetime as string or as number). This required
reworking of datetime realted warning hadling (they now generated
at Field object level not in conversion functions).
Optimization: Now Field class descendants use table->in_use member
instead of current_thd macro.
character set introducer": add new item type to be returned before from
Item_param until it's value is set.
This way items like Item_bool_func2 and udf_handler won't treat this item
as constant literal when statement is prepared.
- mutex was unlocked before the end of the critical sesion,
- Portability issue: It's better to use (*alloc)(x) instead of alloc(x),
if alloc is a function passed as an argument.
- Use {} around if() block, to avoid possible problems with some Windows compilers.
Server will however still accept shutdown without specified level; so that old
mysqladmin can still shut server down.
I would like your comments on the names of shutdown level which I chose. You
are welcome to propose better names. Please however check WL#709 before.
Reason for the names I propose is to be accurate, thus leaving possibility
for other levels which we may imagine in the future; that's why I have rejected
names like "fast", "smart", "graceful" so far. My position is that WAIT_ALL_BUFFERS
or WAIT_CRITICAL_BUFFERS say what the shutdown does, whereas for "smart", "fast" you
need to remember what it does.
This should be pushed in 4.1.3 but only after your comments.
