causes incorrect duplicate entries
Keys for BTREE indexes on ENUM and SET columns of MEMORY tables
with character set UTF8 were computed incorrectly. Many
different column values got the same key value.
Apart of possible performance problems, it made unique indexes
of this type unusable because it rejected many different
values as duplicates.
The problem was that multibyte character detection was tried
on the internal numeric column value. Many values were not
identified as characters. Their key value became blank filled.
Thanks to Alexander Barkov and Ramil Kalimullin for the patch,
which sets the character set of ENUM and SET key segments to
the pseudo binary character set.
Using a MEMORY table BTREE index for scanning for updatable rows
could lead to an infinite loop.
Everytime a key was inserted into a btree index, the position
in the index scan was cleared. The search started from the
beginning and found the same key again.
Now we do not clear the position on key insert an more.
Don't read character set files if we are using only the default charset. In most cases the user will not anymore get a warning about missing character set files
Compare strings with space extend instead of space strip. Now the following comparisons holds: "a" == "a " and "a\t" < "a". (Bug #3152).
Note: Because of the above fix, one has to do a REPAIR on any table that has an ascii character < 32 last in a CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns.
bmove_allign -> bmove_align
Added OLAP function ROLLUP
Split mysql_fix_privilege_tables to a script and a .sql data file
Added new (MEMROOT*) functions to avoid calling current_thd() when creating some common objects.
Added table_alias_charset, for easier --lower-case-table-name handling
Better SQL_MODE handling (Setting complex options also sets sub options)
New (faster) assembler string functions for x86
