When password was granted with a global grant, then granting
privileges on database level, without password being specified,
will temporary (in memory) set password to ''.
"--read-only gives weird error on update".
It is not fixable in 4.0 because it requires modifying
the sql/share/*/errmsg.txt files. So it is fixed in 4.1 like this:
the ER_SKIP_GRANT_TABLES is replaced by a more generic
ER_OPTION_PREVENTS_STATEMENT which can be used both for
"can't do this because of --skip-grant-tables" and
"can't do this because of --read-only" (for this we don't use
ER_CANT_UPDATE_WITH_READLOCK anymore).
So now the message for --read-only is:
"The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so
cannot execute this statement".
"EE_ error codes (EE_DELETE, EE_WRITE) end up in the binlog, making slave stop".
The problem was that during execution of the command on the master, an error
can occur (for example, not space left on device, then mysqld waits and when
there is space it completes successfully: so finally it worked but the error
EE_WRITE remains in thd->net.last_errno and thd->net.last_error).
To know if finally the command succeeded, we test the 'error' variable in
every place, and if it shows no failure we reset thd->net.last_err* using
the function THD::clear_error() which is backported from 4.1.
A new test to see if now only real errors get to the binlog (note: the test
uses "rm").
Also a bit of memory free/alloc saving in log_event.cc (do not free the whole
mem_root after every query in the slave SQL thread: we can keep the initial
block of it; which will be freed when the thread terminates).
Fixed problem with char > 128 in QUOTE() function. (Bug #1868)
Disable creation of symlinks if my_disable_symlink is set
Fixed searching of TEXT with end space. (Bug #1651)
Fixed caching bug in multi-table-update where same table was used twice. (Bug #1711)
Fixed problem with UNIX_TIMESTAMP() for timestamps close to 0. (Bug #1998)
Fixed timestamp.test
WL#1284 (warnings about --skip-name-resolve)
Now MySQL will issue warnings during startup about entries in
grant tables with hostnames that require resolve, and after
GRANT commands with that kind of hostnames.
query_alloc_block_size, query_prealloc_size, range_alloc_block_size,transaction_alloc_block_size and transaction_prealloc_size
Add more checks for "out of memory" detection in range optimization
WL#604 Privileges in embedded library
code added to check privileges in embedded library
NO_EMBEDDED_ACCESS_CHECKS macros inserted in code so we can exclude
access-checking parts. Actually we now can exclude these parts from
standalone server as well. Do we need it?
Access checks are disabled in embedded server by default. One should
edit libmysqld/Makefile manually to get this working.
We definitely need the separate configure for embedded server
