The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
"Item_date_add_interval needs to have the int_type member as Public".
As explained in the bug report, this change is is to help http://search.cpan.org/~philips/DBIx-MyParse-0.20/

Removed wrong fix for bug #14009 (use of abs() on null value causes problems with filesort)
Mark that add_time(), time_diff() and str_to_date() can return null values
view being created.
Item_func_timestamp_diff::func_name() were returning function name as
"timestamp_diff" thus when view was executed function parameters wasn't
properly recognized and error was raised.
length.
When temporary field created for DATE(LEFT(column,8)) expression, max_length
value is taken from Item_date_typecast, and it is getting it from underlaid
Item_func_left and it's max_length is 8 in given expression. And all this
results in stripping last 2 digits.
To Item_date_typecast class added its own fix_length_and_dec() function
that sets max_length value to 10, which is proper for DATE field.
does not work well together". Now using simplier and more correct
implementation of st_lex::unlink_first_table()/link_first_table_back()
(It also nicely handles case when global table list is created because
of implictly used time zone tables). (2nd attempt)
Fix for bug #7705 "CONVERT_TZ() crashes with subquery/WHERE on index
column". Implemented new approach for caching objects for constant
time zone arguments. Now instead of determining whenever these arguments
are constants and performing time zone lookup at fix_fields() stage, we
do it on first get_date() invocation.
Cleanup of global @@time_zone variable handling.
Instead of trying to open time zone tables during calculation of CONVERT_TZ() function
or setting of @@time_zone variable we should open and lock them with the rest of
statement's table (so we should add them to global table list) and after that use such
pre-opened tables for loading info about time zones.
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.
Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
Cleaned up (and disabled part of) date/time/datetime format patch. One can't anymore change default read/write date/time/formats.
This is becasue the non standard datetime formats can't be compared as strings and MySQL does still a lot of datetime comparisons as strings
Changed flag argument to str_to_TIME() and get_date() from bool to uint
Removed THD from str_to_xxxx functions and Item class.
Fixed core dump when doing --print-defaults
Move some common string functions to strfunc.cc
Dates as strings are now of type my_charset_bin instead of default_charset()
Introduce IDENT_QUOTED to not have to create an extra copy of simple identifiers (all chars < 128)
Removed xxx_FORMAT_TYPE enums and replaced them with the old TIMESTAMP_xxx enums
Renamed some TIMESTAMP_xxx enums to more appropriate names
Use defines instead of integers for date/time/datetime string lengths
Added to build system and use the new my_strtoll10() function.
Item_extract needs special implementation for eq().
Item_func::eq doesn't work correctly because we have to compare
Item_extract::int_type parameters also
We need to propagate this to 4.1
