This is for bug #29446 "Specifying a myisam_sort_buffer > 4GB on 64 bit machines not possible". Support for myisam_sort_buffer_size > 4 GB on 64-bit Windows will be looked at later in 5.2.
Problem: setting/displaying @@LC_TIME_NAMES didn't distinguish between
GLOBAL and SESSION variable types - always SESSION variable
was set/shonw.
Fix: set either global or session value.
Also, "mysqld --lc-time-names" was added to set "global default" value.
Problem: replication of LC_TIME_NAMES didn't work.
Thus, INSERTS or UPDATES using date_format() always
worked with en_US on the slave side.
Fix: adding ONE_SHOT implementation for LC_TIME_NAMES.
Zero-length variables caused failures when using the length to look
up the name in a hash. Instead, signal that no zero-length name can
ever be found and that to encounter one is a syntax error.
Bug #19606: ssl variables are not displayed in show variables
Bug #19616: log_queries_not_using_indexes is not listed in show variables
Make basedir, datadir, tmpdir, log_queries_not_using_indexes, ssl_ca,
ssl_capath, ssl_cert, ssl_cipher, and ssl_key all available both from
SHOW VARIABLES and as @@variables.
As a side-effect of this change, log_queries_not_using_indexes can
be changed at runtime (but only globally, not per-connection).
Bug #15684: @@version_* are not all SELECTable
Added the appropriate information as read-only system variables, and
also removed some special-case handling of @@version along the way.
@@version_bdb was added, but isn't included in the test because it
depends on the presence of BDB.
Variable character_set_system is selectable now
More accurate error message results during
update of character_set_system and some other read only variables
character_set_results is nullable, but value_ptr returns string "NULL"
set_var.cc:
Create Item_null instead of Item_string for NULL values
variables.result, variables.test:
adding test case
Change bool in C code to my_bool
Added to mysqltest --enable_parsning and --disable_parsing to avoid to have to comment parts of tests
Added comparison of LEX_STRING's and use this to compare file types for view and trigger files.
set_var.cc:
variables.result
variables.test
Bug #10904 Illegal mix of collations between a system variable and a constant
Changing coercibility of system variables to SYSCONST,
to be the same with USER(), DATABASE(), etc.
myisam_max_extra_sort_file_size is depricated
Ensure that myisam_data_pointer_size is honoured when creating new MyISAM files
Changed default value of myisam_data_pointer_size from 4 to 6 to get rid of 'table-is-full' errors
