databases from 4.0 server
mysqldump treated a failure to set the results charset as a severe
error.
Now, don't try to set the charset for the SHOW CREATE TABLE statement,
if remote server's version is earlier than 4.1, which means it
doesn't support changing charsets.
value" error even though the value was correct): a C function in my_getopt.c
was taking bool* in parameter and was called from C++ sql_plugin.cc,
but on some Mac OS X sizeof(bool) is 1 in C and 4 in C++, giving funny
mismatches. Fixed, all other occurences of bool in C are removed, future
ones are blocked by a "C-bool-catcher" in my_global.h (use my_bool).
The combination of --single-transaction and --master-data requires
START TRANSACTION WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT which is available from
mysqld 4.1 on. When trying this against an older server, print
diagnostic, then, if --force is not given, abort.
No test-case given since it would require a mysqld < 4.1.
mysqldump adds the "-- Dump completed on YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" string
to the end of output if the --comments switch is on.
The only way to suppress this line is to use --skip-comments/--compact
switch.
New switch has been added to the mysqldump client command line:
--dump-date.
For the compatibility with previous releases, by default the --dump-date
is on.
The --dump-date switch forces mysqldump to add date to the
"-- Dump completed on ..." string at the end of output.
The --skip-dump-date switch supresses the output of date string
and uses short form of that commentary: "-- Dump completed".
--skip-comments or --compact switches disable the whole commentary
as usual.
make sure that if builder configured with a non-standard (!= 3306)
default TCP port that value actually gets used throughout. if they
didn't configure a value, assume "use a sensible default", which
will be read from /etc/services or, failing that, from the factory
default. That makes the order of preference
- command-line option
- my.cnf, where applicable
- $MYSQL_TCP_PORT environment variable
- /etc/services (unless configured --with-tcp-port)
- default port (--with-tcp-port=... or factory default)
mysqldump --skip-events --all-databases dumped data of the mysqld.event table,
and during the restoration from this dump events were created in spite
of the --skip-events option.
The mysqldump client has been modified to ignore mysql.event table data
in case of --skip-events options.
When dumping database from a 4.x server, the mysqldump client
inserted a delimiter sign inside special commentaries of the form:
/*!... CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS ... ;*/
During restoration that dump file was splitten by delimiter signs on
the client side, and the rest of some commentary strings was prepended
to following statements.
The 4x_server_emul test case option has been added for use with the
DBUG_EXECUTE_IF debugging macro. This option affects debug server
builds only to emulate particular behavior of a 4.x server for
the mysqldump client testing. Non-debugging builds are not affected.
Faster thr_alarm()
Added 'Opened_files' status variable to track calls to my_open()
Don't give warnings when running mysql_install_db
Added option --source-install to mysql_install_db
I had to do the following renames() as used polymorphism didn't work with Forte compiler on 64 bit systems
index_read() -> index_read_map()
index_read_idx() -> index_read_idx_map()
index_read_last() -> index_read_last_map()
