(MySQL plugin interface: status variables)
adding SHOW_FUNC, removing SHOW_some_specific_value,
only generic SHOW_LONG/SHOW_CHAR/etc are recognized.
changing to use SHOW_FUNC instead of ha_update_statistics
which makes it possible to run RENAME TABLE
on old tables when upgrading from 5.0.
TODO: A stored procedure to rename all tables and
databases with old name format into new format,
it will simplify upgrade.
sql_table.cc:
Making old tables seen with "#mysql50#" prefix.
Adding warning into .err log when an old name is found.
sql_show.cc:
Skip non-directories before filename_to_tablename
call, to avoid unnecessary warnings.
strfunc.cc:
Adding "error" argument to strconvert()
mysql_priv.h:
Adding "error" agrument to strconvert()
- Encoding itself, implemented as a charset
"filename". Originally planned to use '.'
as an escape character, but now changed to '@'
for two reasons: "ls" does not return
file names starting with '.' considering them
as a kind of hidden files; some platforms
do not allow several dots in a file name.
- replacing many calls of my_snprintf() and
strnxmov() to the new build_table_filename().
- Adding MY_APPEND_EXT mysys flag, to append
an extention rather that replace it.
- Replacing all numeric constants in fn_format
flag arguments to their mysys definitions, e.g.
MY_UNPACK_FILENAME,
- Predictability in several function/methods:
when a table name can appear with or withot .frm
extension. Some functions/methods were changed
so accept names strictly with .frm, other - strictly
without .frm extensions. Several DBUG_ASSERTs were
added to check whether an extension is passed.
Many files:
table name to file name encoding
mysql_priv.h:
Prototypes for new table name encoding tools.
ctype-utf8.c:
Implementing "filename" charset for
table name to file name encoding.
row0mysql.c:
Fixing table name prefix.
mf_format.c:
Adding MY_APPEND_EXT processing.
Many files:
Fixing tests.
my_sys.h:
Adding new flag to append rather than replace an extension.
m_ctype.h:
Adding "filename" charset definition.
1) Fixes breakage in embedded server build for XMLPath push.
2) Hides PARTITION engine from view.
3) Add ENGINES information schema (and it should now be clear from this patch on how to turn any show command into an information schema).
Bug#14387 SHOW COLUMNS doesn't work on temporary tables.
Bug#15224 SHOW INDEX from temporary table doesn't work.
Restore thd->temporary_tables to be able to process
temporary tables(only for 'show index' & 'show columns').
This should be changed when processing of temporary tables for
I_S tables will be done.
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
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.

(2nd try; Pekka kindly accepted to fix storage/ndb/src/kernel/blocks/dbtup/DbtupRoutines.cpp
and storage/ndb/src/kernel/vm/SimulatedBlock.cpp after I push).
