Fix for bug#12429: Replication tests fail: "Slave_IO_Running" differs:
The value is not important, and it depends on timing. Mask it.
Backport and extension of a fix made by Matthias in 5.0, originally it was
1.1976 05/12/05 17:57:48 mleich@mysql.com
Added more DBUG statements
Ensure that we are comparing end space with BINARY strings
Use 'any_db' instead of '' to mean any database. (For HANDLER command)
Only strip ' ' when comparing CHAR, not other space-like characters (like \t)
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
(Initial caps for each word.) For example, instead of writing
Until_condition, Until_Log_File, and Until_log_pos, write
Until_Condition, Until_Log_File, and Until_Log_pos.
"Add a column "Timestamp_of_last_master_event_executed" in SHOW SLAVE STATUS".
Finally this is adding
- Slave_IO_State (a copy of the State column of SHOW PROCESSLIST for the I/O thread,
so that the users, most of the time, has enough info with only SHOW SLAVE STATUS).
- Seconds_behind_master. When the slave connects to the master it does SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
on the master, computes the absolute difference between the master's and the slave's clock.
It records the timestamp of the last event executed by the SQL thread, and does a
small computation to find the number of seconds by which the slave is late.
