In several cases, an error when processing the query would cause mysql to
return to the top level without printing warnings. Fix is to always
print any available warnings before returning to the top level.
command and reported to a client.
The fact that a timestamp field will be set to NO on UPDATE wasn't shown
by the SHOW COMMAND and reported to a client through connectors. This led to
problems in the ODBC connector and might lead to a user confusion.
A new filed flag called ON_UPDATE_NOW_FLAG is added.
Constructors of the Field_timestamp set it when a field should be set to NOW
on UPDATE.
The get_schema_column_record function now reports whether a timestamp field
will be set to NOW on UPDATE.
bug #26215: mysql command line client should not strip comments
from SQL statements
and
bug #11230: Keeping comments when storing stored procedures
With the introduction of multiline comments support in the command line
client (mysql) in MySQL 4.1, it became impossible to preserve
client-side comments within single SQL statements or stored routines.
This feature was useful for monitoring tools and maintenance.
The patch adds a new option to the command line client
('--enable-comments', '-c') which allows to preserve SQL comments and
send them to the server for single SQL statements, and to keep comments
in the code for stored procedures / functions / triggers.
The patch is a modification of the contributed patch from bug #11230
with the following changes:
- code style changes to conform to the coding guidelines
- changed is_prefix() to my_strnncoll() to detect the DELIMITER
command, since the first one is case-sensitive and not charset-aware
- renamed t/comments-51.* to t/mysql_comments.*
- removed tests for comments in triggers since 5.0 does not have SHOW
CREATE TRIGGER (those tests will be added back in 5.1).
The test cases are only for bug #11230. No automated test case for bug
#26215 is possible due to the test suite deficiencies (though the cases
from the bug report were tested manually).
The problem is that currently there is no way to test the behavior
of the mysql_change_user() function using the mysqltest suite because
there is no internal command for it.
The solution is to introduce a change_user command that can be used
to test aspects of the MySQL client function mysql_change_user().
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.
insert_id after succ. mysql_change_user() call.

This bug reveals two problems:
- the problem on the client side which was described originally;
- the problem in protocol / the server side: connection context
on client and server should be like after mysql_real_connect()
and be consistent. The server however just resets character
set variables to the global defaults.
The fix seems to be as follows:
- extend the protocol so that the client be able to send
character set information in COM_CHANGE_USER command;
- change the server so that it understands client character set
in the command;
- change the client:
- reset character set to the default value (which has been
read from the configuration);
- send character set in COM_CHANGE_USER command.
Multiple-result processing is required during the execution
of CALL statements for stored procedures, however the mysqlslap
client lacked that processing.
