Since UNLOCK TABLES will commit the transaction (and thus release
all InnoDB locks held by it), it is unnecessary to release the
user-requested table locks separately.
Fix a problem in crash recovery of .ibd files on Windows if the user used lower_case_table_names=0 or 2; the directory scan in crash recovery forgot to put all paths to lower case, so that the tablespace name would be consistent with the internal data dictionary of InnoDB; remember that InnoDB puts internally all database names and table names to lower case on Windows, regardless of the value of lower_case_table_names
most InnoDB threads are not terminated properly and the buffer pool is not flushed
to disk. Still no committed transaction is lost as we flush the logs to disk.
InnoDB does crash recovery at startup after this shutdown.
Using this shutdown in testsuite (mysql-test-run --mysqld=--innodb_fast_shutdown=2) saved 3 minutes (13% of total time).
Gluh's SESSION/GLOBAL for @variables fix in sql_yacc.yy and
Bar's well_formed_len() changes in ndb code
did not make it and should be re-applied manually
between two server instances at server shutdown/startup.
This conflict on advisory locks appears to be the result of a bug
in the operating system; these locks should be released when the
files are closed, but somehow that does not always happen
immediately in Linux. (Bug #9381)
Add diagnostic code to track assertion failure in ut_a(cursor->old_stored == BTR_PCUR_OLD_STORED); the failure happened in OPTIMIZE TABLE, and in 4.0.24 in some other context
If MySQL wrote to its binlog, but for some reason trx->update_undo and trx->insert_undo were NULL in InnoDB, then trx->commit_lsn was garbage, and InnoDB could assert in the log flush of trx_commit_complete_for_mysql() (Bug #9277)
Change the sorting order of TEXT columns in InnoDB: pad with spaces at the end in comparisons; we MUST UPDATE the MySQL MANUAL to warn about the need to rebuild tables (also MyISAM) in certain cases in an upgrade to 5.0.3; TODO: study what complications the missing DATA_BINARY_TYPE flag in InnoDB < 4.0.14 causes: we would compare then also BLOBs with space padding, not just TEXT
Revert the change to the space padding of BLOB and TEXT in comparisons; we cannot change the sorting order, because that would make old tables to appear corrupt; better to change LIKE 'a%' processing in MySQL, so that the lower end of the search interval would be 'a', not 'a '
Fix that 'a' LIKE 'a%' was not true for an InnoDB BLOB or TEXT type column prefix index search: InnoDB assumed that the BLOB and TEXT should not be padded with space in comparisons; this bug is also in 4.1; it may have worked in 4.1 because MySQL may have asked there for strings >= 'a', while in 5.0 it asks for strings >= 'a '
Fix a crash in a simple search with a key: the dtype->len of a true VARCHAR is the payload maximum len in bytes: it does not include the 2 bytes MySQL uses to store the string length
ha_innodb.cc:
Fix a crash in true VARCHARs in test-innodb: we passed a wrong pointer to the column conversion in an UPDATE
rowid_order_innodb.result, ps_3innodb.result, innodb.result, endspace.result:
Edit InnoDB test results to reflect the arrival of true VARCHARs
Add a settable session variable innodb_support_xa; setting it to 0 can save up to 10 % of CPU time and 150 bytes of space in each undo log
trx0trx.h, trx0undo.c, trx0trx.c, trx0roll.c:
Enable XA if innodb_support_xa is not set to 0; make prepare to do log fsync's according to innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit
