This patch fixes problem that LOAD DATA could use different
character sets when loading files on master and on slave sides:
- Adding replication of thd->variables.collation_database
- Adding optional character set clause into LOAD DATA
Note, the second way, with explicit CHARACTER SET clause
should be the recommended way to load data using an alternative
character set.
The old way, using "SET @@character_set_database=xxx" should be
gradually depricated.
The problem happened because those tests were using "cp932" and "ucs2" without checking whether these character sets are available. This fix moves test parts to make character set specific parts be tested only if they are:
- some parts were moved to "ctype_ucs.test" and "ctype_cp932.test"
- some parts were moved to the newly added tests "innodb-ucs2.test", "mysqlbinglog-cp932.test" and "sp-ucs2.test"
- Removed not used variables and functions
- Added #ifdef around code that is not used
- Renamed variables and functions to avoid conflicts
- Removed some not used arguments
Fixed some class/struct warnings in ndb
Added define IS_LONGDATA() to simplify code in libmysql.c
I did run gcov on the changes and added 'purecov' comments on almost all lines that was not just variable name changes
Problem: mysqlbinlog_base64 failed sporadically.
Reason: Missing "flush logs" before running $MYSQL_BINLOG,
which could start dumping the log file before server
has finished writting into it.
Fix:
- implementing --force-if-open option to "mysqlbinlog"
- adding --disable-force-if-open to make $MYSQL_BINLOG
fail on non-closed log files, to garantee that nobody
will forget "flush logs" in the future.
- adding "flush logs" into all affected tests.
Problem: when loading mysqlbinlog dumps, CREATE PROCEDURE having semicolons
in their bodies failed.
Fix: Using safe delimiter "/*!*/;" to dump log entries.
The following is an excerption from the WL.
1. Change so that MIXED is default format
1.1 to change the default for command line --binlog-format
1.2 to alter global_system_variables.binlog_format calculation
basing on command line --binlog-format parameter and
its default.
2. Change test suite so that more testing is done by MIXED format.
2.1 to check if there are test cases requiring --binlog-foramt=statement via
`source include/have_binlog_format_statement.inc' and affected by
altering the latter to be "mixed".
2.2 to check the content of such vulnerable cases to find if
extending to the mixed does not modify results. In that case simply
substitute source arguments as explained.
2.3 if a test in mixed mode deals with features triggering
row-binlogging then if necessary we can switch explicitly
to statement mode or create another test to run with
non-recommended STATEMENT mode
Particullarily, extracting INSERT DELAYED
binlogging subtest for statement mode is performed, and
the snippet is moved into a separate test file.
Note that since now all three modes verify this use case
through 3 different tests.
No changes in item 3 of HLD appeared to be needed.
Binlog lacks encoding info about DROPped temporary table.
Idea of the fix is to switch temporary to system_charset_info when a temporary table
is DROPped for binlog. Since that is the server, that automatically, but not the client, who generates the query
the binlog should be updated on the server's encoding for the coming DROP.
The `write_binlog_with_system_charset()' is introduced to replace similar problematic places in the code.
internal charset to one associated with currently being handled query.
To note such a query can come from interactive client either.
There was a discussion within replication team and Monty who's suggestion won.
It avoids straightforward parsing of all `set' queries that could affect client side
character set.
According to the idea, mysql client does not parse `set' queries but rather cares of
`charset new_cs_name' command.
This command is generated by mysqlbinlog in form of exclaiming comment (Lars' suggestion)
so that enlightened clients like `mysql' knows what to do with it.
Interactive human can switch between many multi-byte charsets during the session
providing the command explicitly.
To note that setting new internal mysql's charset does not
trigger sending any `SET' sql statement to the server.
