in NDB that the fix would cause due to improper registration of a transaction
that isn't meant to be seen by the handler layer. (Bug #14212)
Thanks to Sergei Golubchik for helping with this.
* Provide backwards compatibility extension to name resolution of
coalesced columns. The patch allows such columns to be qualified
with a table (and db) name, as it is in 4.1.
Based on a patch from Monty.
* Adjusted tests accordingly to test both backwards compatible name
resolution of qualified columns, and ANSI-style resolution of
non-qualified columns.
For this, each affected test has two versions - one with qualified
columns, and one without.
"Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
* Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
- in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
- natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
for any number/nesting of the joins.
- column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
* This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
name resolution contexts used at parse time.
NOTICE:
- This patch is not complete in the sense that
- there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
- it does not include a new test specific for the task
Enabled VARCHAR testing for innodb
NOTE: innodb.test currently fails becasue of a bug in InnoDB.
I have informed Heikki about this and expect him to fix this ASAP
Add support for VARCHAR with 1 or 2 length bytes
Enable VARCHAR packing in MyISAM files (previous patch didn't pack data properly)
Give error if we got problems in temporary tables during a SELECT
Don't use new table generated by ALTER TABLE if index generation fails
Fixed wrong call by range_end() (Could cause an ASSERT in debug mode)
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
Added put_length() to get_length() and unpack_key() to pack_key().
Keys were packed with the minimum size of the length field for the key part and
unpacked with length size of the base column.
For the purpose of optimal key packing we have the method pack_key(), while rows are
packed with pack(). Now keys are unpacked with unpack_key() and no longer with
unpack() which is used for rows.
Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
Let myisamchk generate a new checksum for compressed data.
Don't unconditionally force filenames to lower case on windows.
Update mysqltest to match 4.0 source (to get some of the new bug fixes into 3.23)
Remember UNION for ALTER TABLE
Added test for if we are supporting transactions.
Don't allow REPLACE to replace a row when we have generated an auto_increment key
Fixed bug when using BLOB keys
Fixed bug in SET @variable=user.
