Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
out of order". (final version)
Now instead of binding Item_trigger_field to TABLE objects during
trigger definition parsing at table open, we perform pass through
special list of all such objects in trigger. This allows easily check
all references to fields in old/new version of row in trigger during
execution of CREATE TRIGGER statement (this is more courtesy for users
since we can't check everything anyway).
We also report that such reference is bad by returning error from
Item_trigger_field::fix_fields() method (instead of setup_field())
This means that if trigger is broken we will bark during trigger
execution instead of trigger definition parsing at table open.
(i.e. now we allow to open tables with broken triggers).
In server we assume that datetime values stored in MYSQL_TIME struct
are normalized (and year is not greater than 9999), so we should
perform range checks in all places then we convert something to
MYSQL_TIME.
the result takes its charset/collation
attributes from the character string,
e.g. SELECT func(NULL, _latin2'string')
now returns a latin2 result. This is
done by introducing a new derivation
(aka coercibility) level DERIVATION_IGNORABLE,
which is used with Item_null.
2. 'Pure' NULL is now BINARY(0), not CHAR(0).
I.e. NULL is now more typeless.
of client equals to character set of connection, possibly required
conversion to character set of column is not performed
(prepared statements, data is supplied using placeholders).
FOUND is not a reserved keyword anymore
Added Item_field::set_no_const_sub() to be able to mark fields that can't be substituted
Added 'simple_select' method to be able to quickly determinate if a select_result is a normal SELECT
Note that the 5.0 tree is not yet up to date: Sanja will have to fix multi-update-locks for this merge to be complete
- Changed name resolution for GROUP BY so that derived columns do not shadow table columns
from the FROM clause. As a result GROUP BY now is handled as a true ANSI extentsion.
- Issue a warning when HAVING is resolved into ambiguous columns, and prefer the columns from
the GROUP BY clause over SELECT columns.
constant with a column. The string is converted into the column
character set. It conversion doesn't lose data, then operation
is possible. Otherwise, give an error, as it was earlier.
