Added a global read-only option slow-start-timeout to control the
Windows service control manager's service start timeout, that was
currently hard-coded to be 15 seconds.
The default of the new option is 15 seconds.
The timeout can also be set to 0 (to mean no timeout applicable).
status
The problem appears to be a race condition, when service is being
stopped right after startup. We set the service status to SERVICE_RUNNING
way too early it cannot yet handle stop requests - initialization has
not finished and hEventShutdown that signals server to stop is not yet
created. If somebody issues "net stop MySQL" at this time, MySQL is not
informed about the stop and continues to run as usual, while
NTService::ServiceMain() stucks forever waiting for mysql's "main" thread
to finish.
Solution is to remain in SERVICE_START_PENDING status until after server
initialization is fully complete and only then change the status to
SERVICE_RUNNING. In SERVICE_START_PENDING we do not accept service control
requests, i.e it is not possible to stop service in that time.
Don't dump data for MRG_ISAM or MRG_MYISAM tables. (Bug #1846)
Ensure that 'lower_case_table_names' is always set on case insensitive file systems. (Bug #1812)
One can now configure MySQL as windows service as a normal user. (Bug #1802)
Database names is now compared with lower case in ON clause when lower_case_table_names is set. (Bug #1736)
IGNORE ... LINES option didn't work when used with fixed length rows. (Bug #1704)
Change INSERT DELAYED ... SELECT... to INSERT .... SELECT (Bug #1983)
Safety fix for service 'mysql start' (Bug #1815)
(All commit emails since 4.0.1 checked)
This had to be done now, before the 4.1 tree changes to much, to make it easy to propagate bug fixes to the 4.1 tree.
Use LONG_TIMEOUT (one year) instead of ~0 for long timeouts
Fixed error messages.
Fixed problem with const propagation when comparing columns of different types
routines for avoid to leave the Service Control Manager
in bad state. Print messages for to reduce the current
user errors when are trying to install or start the service.
Adding the option to install the service for manual start:
--install-manual.
