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)
HEAP: Copies the key count to a backup variable and sets the key count to zero.
That way, no HEAP function will ever try to touch any index.
Re-enabling is done by copying back the backup variable.
To avoid memory leak at table close, disable deletes all index trees.
Re-enabling must be done with empty indexes and data anyway. Otherwise,
the indexes would need to be repaired, wich HEAP is not capable of.
MyISAM: Only the key_map is cleared and set.
Re-enabling must be done with empty indexes and data. Otherwise, repair needs
to be done which will enable all keys persistently.
The former implementation disabled only non-unique keys and maked this persistent.
The new implementation additionally can disable all keys, but only without
making this persistent. Re-enabling all keys can be done without repair,
if data file and indexes are empty.
Fixed problem with char > 128 in QUOTE() function. (Bug #1868)
Disable creation of symlinks if my_disable_symlink is set
Fixed searching of TEXT with end space. (Bug #1651)
Fixed caching bug in multi-table-update where same table was used twice. (Bug #1711)
Fixed problem with UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for timestamps close to 0. (Bug #1998)
Fixed timestamp.test
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.
Add pack_bits to pack_reclength for dynamic rows. This solves buffer a possible buffer overflow on update.
(This will probably solve bug #563)
Fix test for available file descriptors in mysqltest
Fixed core dump bug in replication tests when running without transactional table support
Fix for LEFT/RIGHT/MID with multi-byte-character sets (bug 314)
Fix for new bison 1.875
max_insert_delayed_threads and delayed_insert_timeout now works as documented (bug 211)
Don't show port in SHOW PROCESSLIST for system threads
Fix problem with ORDER BY being discarded for some DISTINCT queries (bug 275)
Fixed bug with NATURAL LEFT JOIN, NATURAL RIGHT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN when
using many joined tables (Bug 212)
Free row buffer cache after each query for MyISAM tables.
Added table join option FORCE INDEX
Fixed core dump bug when connecting with hostname that could not be resolved.
Some simple optimzations, more comments and indentation changes.
Add ` around database in 'use database' in binary log.
Moved max_error_count and max_warning_count to variables struct.
Removed SHOW_WARNS_COUNT and SHOW_ERRORS_COUNT calls.
Changed string functions to use character set of first string argument as default return characterset
(Each string function can change the above assumption if needed)
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
