and new binlog format called "mixed" (which is statement-based except if only row-based is correct,
in this cset it means if UDF or UUID is used; more cases could be added in later 5.1 release):
SET GLOBAL|SESSION BINLOG_FORMAT=row|statement|mixed|default;
the global default is statement unless cluster is enabled (then it's row) as in 5.1-alpha.
It's not possible to use SET on this variable if a session is currently in row-based mode and has open temporary tables (because CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE was not binlogged so temp table is not known on slave), or if NDB is enabled (because
NDB does not support such change on-the-fly, though it will later), of if in a stored function (see below).
The added tests test the possibility or impossibility to SET, their effects, and the mixed mode,
including in prepared statements and in stored procedures and functions.
Caveats:
a) The mixed mode will not work for stored functions: in mixed mode, a stored function will
always be binlogged as one call and in a statement-based way (e.g. INSERT VALUES(myfunc()) or SELECT myfunc()).
b) for the same reason, changing the thread's binlog format inside a stored function is
refused with an error message.
c) the same problems apply to triggers; implementing b) for triggers will be done later (will ask
Dmitri).
Additionally, as the binlog format is now changeable by each user for his session, I remove the implication
which was done at startup, where row-based automatically set log-bin-trust-routine-creators to 1
(not possible anymore as a user can now switch to stmt-based and do nasty things again), and automatically
set --innodb-locks-unsafe-for-binlog to 1 (was anyway theoretically incorrect as it disabled
phantom protection).
Plus fixes for compiler warnings.
problem was: when a connection disconnects having an open transaction affecting MyISAM and InnoDB, the ROLLBACK event stored in the binary log
contained a non-zero error code (1053 because of the disconnection), so when slave applied the transaction, slave complained that its ROLLBACK succeeded
(error_code=0) while master's had 1053, so slave stopped. But internally generated binlog events such as this ROLLBACK
should always have 0 as error code, as is true in 4.1 and was accidentally broken in 5.0,
so that there is no false alarm.
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.
my_sopen() on win32 which allows to use FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag to
allow deleting opened files. my_sopen() implementation is added to
support this functionality.
in short we now record whenever the slave I/O thread ignores a master's event because of its server id,
and use this info in the slave SQL thread to advance Exec_master_log_pos. Because if we
do not, this variable stays at the position of the last executed event, i.e. the last *non-ignored*
executed one, which may not be the last of the master's binlog (and so the slave *looks* behind
the master though it's data-wise it's not).
