- Added better error messages when trying to open a table that can't be discovered or unpacked. The most likely cause of this is that it does not have any frm data, probably since it has been created from NdbApi or is a NDB system table.
- Separated functionality that was in ha_create_table_from_engine into two functions. One that checks if the table exists and another one that tries to create the table from the engine.
CREATE DATABASE statement used the current database instead of the
database created when checking conditions for replication.
CREATE/DROP/ALTER DATABASE statements are now replicated based on
the manipulated database.
binlog coordinates corresponding to the dump".
The good news is that now mysqldump can be used to get an online backup of InnoDB *which works for
point-in-time recovery and replication slave creation*. Formerly, mysqldump --master-data --single-transaction
used to call in fact mysqldump --master-data, so the dump was not an online dump (took big lock all time of dump).
The only lock which is now taken in this patch is at the beginning of the dump: mysqldump does:
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT; SHOW MASTER STATUS; UNLOCK TABLES;
so the lock time is in fact the time FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK takes to return (can be 0 or very long, if
a table is undergoing a huge update).
I have done some more minor changes listed in the paragraph of mysqldump.c.
WL#2237 "WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT clause for START TRANSACTION":
it's a START TRANSACTION which additionally starts a consistent read on all
capable storage engine (i.e. InnoDB). So, can serve as a replacement for
BEGIN; SELECT * FROM some_innodb_table LIMIT 1; which starts a consistent read too.
DROP DATABASE failed because of file ext not in TYPELIB of known extensions.
General solution - construct a TYPELIB at runtime instead of a static list.
not know there's rollback (if it's because of a dupl row), better warn
that it's happening. It can also be of use for a DBA killing a
connection and wondering what this connection is still doing now. Example:
| 5 | root | localhost | test | Killed | 10 | Rolling back | insert into i select * from j |
column types TIMESTAMP is NOT NULL by default, so in order to have
TIMESTAMP column holding NULL valaues you have to specify NULL as
one of its attributes (this needed for backward compatibility).
Main changes:
Replaced TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now members with
TABLE::timestamp_auto_set_type flag which is used everywhere
for determining if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field
during this operation or not. We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time()
instead of handler::update_timestamp() in handlers.
* Changed the implementation of ndbcluster_find_files to be more efficient, using only one mutex lock
* Moved ha_find_files to end of mysql_find_files so that it can be passed the list that we are interested to find.
added tests to alter table for "large" alter tables and truncates in ndbcluster
added debug printout in restart() in ndbcluster
added flag THD::transaction.on to enable/disable transaction
in a deadlock-free manner. This splits locking the global read lock in two steps.
This fixes a consequence of this bug, known as:
BUG#4953 'mysqldump --master-data may report incorrect binlog position if using InnoDB'
And a test.
