Produce warnings of wrong cast of strings to signed/unsigned.
Don't block not resolved IP's if DNS server is down (Bug #8467)
Fix compiler problems with MinGW (Bug #8872)
When we cast datetime value to DATE (TIME) type we should throw away its
time (date) part. This was not done properly if CAST() function was used
in datetime expressions.
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.
Fixed output from mysqlbinlog when using --skip-comments
Fixed warnings from valgrind
Fixed ref_length when used with HEAP tables
More efficent need_conversion()
Fixed error handling in UPDATE with not updateable tables
Fixed bug in null handling in CAST to signed/unsigned
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Changed timestamp to return string in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.
DATE_ADD() and related functions now returns correct DATE/DATETIME type depending on argument types.
Now all tests passes, still some work left to remove warnings in log files from mysql-test-run
Class for sending data from server to client (Protocol)
This handles both the old ( <= 4.0 ) protocol and then new binary protocol that is used for prepared statements.
