Problem: setting/displaying @@LC_TIME_NAMES didn't distinguish between
GLOBAL and SESSION variable types - always SESSION variable
was set/shonw.
Fix: set either global or session value.
Also, "mysqld --lc-time-names" was added to set "global default" value.
"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.
Problem: replication of LC_TIME_NAMES didn't work.
Thus, INSERTS or UPDATES using date_format() always
worked with en_US on the slave side.
Fix: adding ONE_SHOT implementation for LC_TIME_NAMES.
Zero-length variables caused failures when using the length to look
up the name in a hash. Instead, signal that no zero-length name can
ever be found and that to encounter one is a syntax error.
Bug #19606: ssl variables are not displayed in show variables
Bug #19616: log_queries_not_using_indexes is not listed in show variables
Make basedir, datadir, tmpdir, log_queries_not_using_indexes, ssl_ca,
ssl_capath, ssl_cert, ssl_cipher, and ssl_key all available both from
SHOW VARIABLES and as @@variables.
As a side-effect of this change, log_queries_not_using_indexes can
be changed at runtime (but only globally, not per-connection).
Bug #15684: @@version_* are not all SELECTable
Added the appropriate information as read-only system variables, and
also removed some special-case handling of @@version along the way.
@@version_bdb was added, but isn't included in the test because it
depends on the presence of BDB.
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
Variable character_set_system is selectable now
More accurate error message results during
update of character_set_system and some other read only variables
character_set_results is nullable, but value_ptr returns string "NULL"
set_var.cc:
Create Item_null instead of Item_string for NULL values
variables.result, variables.test:
adding test case
