If the user has specified --max-connections=N or --table-open-cache=M
options to the server, a warning could be given that some values were
recalculated, and table-open-cache could be assigned greater value.
Note that both warning and increase of table-open-cache were totally
harmless.
This patch fixes recalculation code to ensure that table-open-cache will
be never increased automatically and that a warning will be given only if
some values had to be decreased due to operating system limits.
No test case is provided because we neither can't predict nor control
operating system limits for maximal number of open files.

list using a function
When executing dependent subqueries they are re-inited and re-exec() for
each row of the outer context.
The cause for the bug is that during subquery reinitialization/re-execution,
the optimizer reallocates JOIN::join_tab, JOIN::table in make_simple_join()
and the local variable in 'sortorder' in create_sort_index(), which is
allocated by make_unireg_sortorder().
Care must be taken not to allocate anything into the thread's memory pool
while re-initializing query plan structures between subquery re-executions.
All such items mush be cached and reused because the thread's memory pool
is freed at the end of the whole query.
Note that they must be cached and reused even for queries that are not
otherwise cacheable because otherwise it will grow the thread's memory
pool every time a cacheable query is re-executed.
We provide additional members to the JOIN structure to store references
to the items that need to be cached.
The mysql_alter_table() was able to rename only a table.
The view/table renaming code is moved from the function rename_tables
to the new function called do_rename().
The mysql_alter_table() function calls it when it needs to rename a view.
Bug #21785 "Server crashes after rename of the log table" and
Bug #21966 "Strange warnings on create like/repair of the log
tables"
According to the patch, from now on, one should use RENAME to
perform a log table rotation (this should also be reflected in
the manual).
Here is a sample:
use mysql;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS general_log2 LIKE general_log;
RENAME TABLE general_log TO general_log_backup, general_log2 TO general_log;
The rules for Rename of the log tables are following:
IF 1. Log tables are enabled
AND 2. Rename operates on the log table and nothing is being
renamed to the log table.
DO 3. Throw an error message.
ELSE 4. Perform rename.
The very RENAME query will go the the old (backup) table. This is
consistent with the behavoiur we have with binlog ROTATE LOGS
statement.
Other problems, which are solved by the patch are:
1) Now REPAIR of the log table is exclusive operation (as it should be), this
also eliminates lock-related warnings. and
2) CREATE LIKE TABLE now usese usual read lock on the source table rather
then name lock, which is too restrictive. This way we get rid of another
log table-related warning, which occured because of the above fact
(as a side-effect, name lock resulted in a warning).
This decoupling allows in further versions of MySQL enum interval_type to
be reordered without this affecting any backward compatibility in the
events code.
This changeset doesn't change any exposed behavior but makes events' code
more durable to changes outside of their code base.
To the reviewer: There is no regression test included as it is impossible
to construct one with the current infrastructure which can test it. To test
the code one has create and event, then change the order of
enum interval_type in my_time.h, update sql/time.cc, recompile the server
and run it with scheduler running.
