WL#3681 (ALTER TABLE ORDER BY)
Before this fix, the ALTER TABLE statement implemented an ORDER BY option
with the following characteristics :
1) The order by clause accepts a list of criteria, with optional ASC or
DESC keywords
2) Each criteria can be a general expression, involving operators,
native functions, stored functions, user defined functions, subselects ...
With this fix :
1) has been left unchanged, since it's a de-facto existing feature,
that was already present in the code base and partially covered in the test
suite. Code coverage for ASC and DESC was missing and has been improved.
2) has been changed to limit the kind of criteria that are permissible:
now only a column name is valid.
table
ROW_FORMAT option is lost during CREATE/DROP INDEX.
This fix forces CREATE/DROP INDEX to retain ROW_FORMAT by instructing
mysql_alter_table() that ROW_FORMAT is not used during creating/dropping
indexes.
ALTER TABLE DISABLE KEYS doesn't work when modifying the table
ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with another ALTER TABLE option, different
than RENAME TO did nothing. Also, if the table had disabled keys
and was ALTER-ed then the end table was with enabled keys.
Fixed by checking whether the table had disabled keys and enabling them
in the copied table.
There was an improper order of doing chained operations.
To the documentor: ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with RENAME TO, and no other
ALTER TABLE clause, leads to server crash independent of the presence of
indices and data in the table.
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.
Ensure that ccache is also used for C programs
mysql: Ensure that 'delimiter' works the same way in batch mode as in normal mode
mysqldump: Change to use ;; (instead of //) as a stored procedure/trigger delimiter
Fixed test cases by adding missing DROP's and rename views to be of type 'v#'
Removed MY_UNIX_PATH from fn_format()
Removed current_db_used from TABLE_LIST
Removed usage of 'current_thd' in Item_splocal
Removed some compiler warnings
A bit faster longlong2str code
Count null_bits separately from field offsets and adjust them in case of primary key parts.
(Previously a CREATE TABLE with a lot of null fields that was part of a primary key caused MySQL to wrongly count the number of bytes needed to store null bits)
This is a more complete bug fix for #6236
Bug #6479 ALTER TABLE ... changing charset fails for TEXT columns
Fix: use do_conv_blob rather than do_copy_blob
if the column's character sets are different.
and for (2) converting the columns:
1. ALTER TABLE t1 [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET xxx [COLLATE yyy]
2. ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET xxx [COLLATE yyy]
BINARY(N) and VARBIBARY(N)
2. More 4.0 compatibility and more BINARY keyword consistency:
2a. CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) BINARY)
is now synonym for
CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) COLLATE xxxx_bin)
2b. SELECT BINARY x
is still synonin for
SELECT x COLLATE xxxxx_bin.
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.
