Bug#37167 funcs_1: Many tests fail if the embedded server is used.
Bug#37164 funcs_1: Some tests fail if an optional character set is missing.
+ some cleanup within the testsuite related to the fixes above
+ some adjustments to open bugs on Mac OS X
Details:
- Remove the initial loading of data from tests if these data
are not somewhere retrieved
- Remove any use of columns with attribute unicode
(-> UCS2 is no more needed) from tests where unicode
properties are not checked or somehow required
- Create a separate branch of the Character maximum length test
(CML). If UCS2 is available than this test gets applied to
every available type of string column with attribute unicode
This prevents any loss of coverage by the points above.
- Disable the execution of is_tables_ndb which gives wrong
results because of a bug. Correct the exepected results of
this test.
- In case of tests failing when applied to the embedded server
1) Create a variant of this test for the embedded server
or
2) Skip the test in case of embedded server
depending on purpose and complexity of test.
- Skip the tests which could suffer from
Bug 28309 First insert violates unique constraint - was "memory" table empty ?
Bug 37380 Test funcs_1.is_columns_myisam_embedded fails on OS X
(both bugs Mac OS X, embedded server, MySQL 5.0 only)
- Minor improvements like remove typos
testsuite funcs_1
1. Fix the following bugs
Bug#30440 "datadict" tests (all engines) fail: Character sets depend on configuration
Solution: Test variants charset_collation_* adjusted to different builds
Bug#32603 "datadict" tests (all engines) fail in "community" tree: "PROFILING" table
Solution: Excluding "PROFILING" table from queries
Bug#33654 "slow log" is missing a line
Solution: Unify the content of the fields TABLES.TABLE_ROWS and
STATISTICS.CARDINALITY within result sets
Bug#34532 Some funcs_1 tests do not clean up at end of testing
Solution: DROP objects/reset global server variables modified during testing
+ let tests missing implementation end before loading of tables
Bug#31421 funcs_1: ndb__datadict fails, discrepancy between scripts and expected results
Solution: Cut <engine>__datadict tests into smaller tests + generate new results.
Bug#33599 INFORMATION_SCHEMA.STATISTICS got a new column INDEX_COMMENT: tests fail (2)
Generation of new results during post merge fix
Bug#33600 CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH is now CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH * 4
Generation of new results during post merge fix
Bug#33631 Platform-specific replace of CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH broken by 4-byte encoding
Generation of new results during post merge fix
+ removal of platform-specific replace routine (no more needed)
2. Restructure the tests
- Test not more than one INFORMATION_SCHEMA view per testscript
- Separate tests of I_S view layout+functionality from content related to the
all time existing databases "information_schema", "mysql" and "test"
- Avoid storage engine related variants of tests which are not sensible to
storage engines at all.
3. Reimplement or add some subtests + cleanup
There is a some probability that even the reviewed changeset
- does not fix all bugs from above or
- contains new bugs which show up on some platforms <> Linux or on one of
the various build types
4. The changeset contains fixes according to
- one code review
- minor bugs within testing code found after code review (accepted by reviewer)
- problems found during tests with 5.0.56 in build environment
