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
- add_field_to_list() now uses <List>String
instead of TYPELIB to be able to distinguish
literals 'aaa' and hex literals 0xaabbcc.
- move some code from add_field_to_list() where
we don't know column charset yet, to
mysql_prepare_table(), where we do.
More tests.
Better error messages.
Fixed bug when checking if we updated all needed columns for INSERT.
Give an error if we encounter a wrong float value during parsing.
Don't print DEFAULT for columns without a default value in SHOW CREATE/SHOW FIELDS.
Fixed UPDATE IGNORE when using STRICT mode.
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.
Under strict mode MySQL will generate an error message if there was any conversion when assigning data to a field.
Added checking of date/datetime fields.
If strict mode, give error if we have not given value to field without a default value (for INSERT)
Use 'mysqltest' as test database instead of test_$1 or test1,test2 to not accidently delete an important database
Safety fix for mailformed MERGE files
Fix for binary collations for MyISAM and HEAP BTREE.
This patch also changes trailing spaces behaviour for
binary collations. Binary collations now have PAD
characteristic too.
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.
Added basic per-thread time zone functionality (based on public
domain elsie-code). Now user can select current time zone
(from the list of time zones described in system tables).
All NOW-like functions honor this time zone, values of TIMESTAMP
type are interpreted as values in this time zone, so now
our TIMESTAMP type behaves similar to Oracle's TIMESTAMP WITH
LOCAL TIME ZONE (or proper PostgresSQL type).
WL#1266 "CONVERT_TZ() - basic time with time zone conversion
function".
Fixed problems described in Bug #2336 (Different number of warnings
when inserting bad datetime as string or as number). This required
reworking of datetime realted warning hadling (they now generated
at Field object level not in conversion functions).
Optimization: Now Field class descendants use table->in_use member
instead of current_thd macro.
Fixed bugs in group_concat with ORDER BY and DISTINCT (Bugs #2695, #3381 and #3319)
Fixed crash when doing rollback in slave and the io thread catched up with the sql thread
Set locked_in_memory properly
Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
BINARY(N) and VARBIBARY(N)
2. More 4.0 compatibility and more BINARY keyword consistency:
2a. CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) BINARY)
is now synonym for
CREATE TABLE a (a CHAR(N) COLLATE xxxx_bin)
2b. SELECT BINARY x
is still synonin for
SELECT x COLLATE xxxxx_bin.
values for TIMESTAMP columns. The solution is not perfect since
we just silently ignoring default value for first TIMESTAMP
column and properly reflecting this fact in SHOW CREATE TABLE.
We can't give a warning or simply support standard syntax
(niladic functions as legal value for default) for first field
since it is 4.0 tree.
