duplicate fields removed, st_mysql_storage_engine added to support
run-time handlerton initialization (no compiler warnings), handler API
is now tied to MySQL version, handlerton->plugin mapping added
(slot-based), dummy default_hton removed, plugin-type-specific
initialization generalized, built-in plugins are now initialized too,
--default-storage-engine no longer needs a list of storage engines
in handle_options().
mysql-test-run.pl bugfixes
Added support for key_block_size to MyISAM.
Simplify interface to 'new Key' to make it easier to add new key options.
mysqld option --new is used to define where key options are printed.
(In 5.3 we should move all key options to after key part definition to avoid problem with reserved names)
Fixed some compiler warnings and a memory leak in ssl
Added missing DBUG_xxx_RETURN statements
Fixed some usage of not initialized variables (as found by valgrind)
Ensure that we don't remove locked tables used as name locks from open table cache until unlock_table_names() are called.
This was fixed by having drop_locked_name() returning any table used as a name lock so that we can free it in unlock_table_names()
This will allow Tomas to continue with his work to use namelocks to syncronize things.
Note: valgrind still produces a lot of warnings about using not initialized code and shows memory loss errors when running the ndb tests
and new binlog format called "mixed" (which is statement-based except if only row-based is correct,
in this cset it means if UDF or UUID is used; more cases could be added in later 5.1 release):
SET GLOBAL|SESSION BINLOG_FORMAT=row|statement|mixed|default;
the global default is statement unless cluster is enabled (then it's row) as in 5.1-alpha.
It's not possible to use SET on this variable if a session is currently in row-based mode and has open temporary tables (because CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE was not binlogged so temp table is not known on slave), or if NDB is enabled (because
NDB does not support such change on-the-fly, though it will later), of if in a stored function (see below).
The added tests test the possibility or impossibility to SET, their effects, and the mixed mode,
including in prepared statements and in stored procedures and functions.
Caveats:
a) The mixed mode will not work for stored functions: in mixed mode, a stored function will
always be binlogged as one call and in a statement-based way (e.g. INSERT VALUES(myfunc()) or SELECT myfunc()).
b) for the same reason, changing the thread's binlog format inside a stored function is
refused with an error message.
c) the same problems apply to triggers; implementing b) for triggers will be done later (will ask
Dmitri).
Additionally, as the binlog format is now changeable by each user for his session, I remove the implication
which was done at startup, where row-based automatically set log-bin-trust-routine-creators to 1
(not possible anymore as a user can now switch to stmt-based and do nasty things again), and automatically
set --innodb-locks-unsafe-for-binlog to 1 (was anyway theoretically incorrect as it disabled
phantom protection).
Plus fixes for compiler warnings.
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
NDB cluster is not fully supported. This will be added with
WL 1892 (NDB Handler: Add support for CREATE/DROP INDEX).
Some preparatory code for this is already present though.
A change for the "duplicate key" error message is planned
for another changeset.
(MySQL plugin interface: status variables)
adding SHOW_FUNC, removing SHOW_some_specific_value,
only generic SHOW_LONG/SHOW_CHAR/etc are recognized.
changing to use SHOW_FUNC instead of ha_update_statistics
