Set default max_allowed_packet to be able to read help tables even if an my.cnf file with this option is present. (Bug #3938)
Don't use default arguments for ha_rnd_init()
Simple code cleanups since last pull
a limitation of yesterday's implementation:
if there was an unfinished transaction (COMMIT not typed), and some MyISAM tables were
then updated, and then mysqld crashes, then at restart the server would use the too old
binlog offset known by InnoDB to cut the binlog, thus cutting the successful MyISAM
updates. We fix this by reporting the binlog offset into InnoDB even if InnoDB was not
affected at all by the update.
But the feature is still disabled until we decide if it can go into 4.1.3.
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
New records_in_range() interface (similar to read_range())
Macros for faster bitmap handling
Simplify read_range() code (#WL1786)
New general key_cmp() function to compare keys
- New solution after discussions with Sergei, no handler specific code or error messages should be in sql layer.
next_result, only check for error if check is -1
Improved index_read
HEAP: Copies the key count to a backup variable and sets the key count to zero.
That way, no HEAP function will ever try to touch any index.
Re-enabling is done by copying back the backup variable.
To avoid memory leak at table close, disable deletes all index trees.
Re-enabling must be done with empty indexes and data anyway. Otherwise,
the indexes would need to be repaired, wich HEAP is not capable of.
MyISAM: Only the key_map is cleared and set.
Re-enabling must be done with empty indexes and data. Otherwise, repair needs
to be done which will enable all keys persistently.
The former implementation disabled only non-unique keys and maked this persistent.
The new implementation additionally can disable all keys, but only without
making this persistent. Re-enabling all keys can be done without repair,
if data file and indexes are empty.
This is to enable table handlers to implement online create/drop index.
It consists of some parts:
- New default handler methods in handler.h
- Split of mysql_alter_table. It decides if only one kind of
alteration is to be done (e.g. only create indexes or only drop
indexes etc.) It then calls the specialized new handler method if
the handler implements it. Otherwise it calls real_alter_table.
- The parser sets flags for each alter operation detected in a
command. These are used by mysql_alter_table for the decision.
- mysql_prepare_table is pulled out of mysql_create_table. This is
also used by mysql_create_index to prepare the key structure array
for the handler. It is also used by mysql_create_index and
mysql_drop_index to prepare a call to mysql_create_frm.
- mysql_create_frm is pulled out of rea_create_table for use by
mysql_create_index and mysql_drop_index after the index is
created/dropped.
Thanks to Antony who supplied most of the changes.
Allow always DROPping of a table which is only referenced by FOREIGN KEY constraints from the same table
Many files:
Do not let REPLACE to perform internally an UPDATE if the table is referenced by a FOREIGN KEY: the manual says that REPLACE must resolve a duplicate key error semantically with DELETE(s) + INSERT, and not by an UPDATE; the internal update caused foreign key checks and cascaded operations to behave in a semantically wrong way
when we open the HEAP table for the first time since server restart,
in hp_open(), we set a flag to propagate this info to the handler level
which then writes a DELETE FROM this_heap_table to the binlog.
It is not a perfect solution for the bug, because between the server start and
the first open of the table, the slave still had old data in his table so
a SELECT on the slave may show wrong content. But if there is a --init-file
to populate the HEAP table on master as startup, then this is a safe fix
(I'll put a note about init-file in the HEAP section of the manual).
Added support for lower_case_table_names=2, which is to be used on case insensitive file systems.
This tells MySQL to preserve the used case of filenames and database names to make it esier to move files between cases sensitive can case insensitive file systems (like Windows and Linux)
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
