Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
* Added Item_ref::set_properties
* Item_ref::Item_ref now expects to get in *item either
NULL - then fix_fields() will be called later or
ptr to Item it will refer to - then an equivalent of fix_fields() call is performed
The problem in 4.1 was the same as in 4.0 - fix_fields() not called for created Item_ref.
The fix is similar too - initialize Item_refs in ctor (but don't interfere with cases when
Item_ref is used by subselects).
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
out of order". (final version)
Now instead of binding Item_trigger_field to TABLE objects during
trigger definition parsing at table open, we perform pass through
special list of all such objects in trigger. This allows easily check
all references to fields in old/new version of row in trigger during
execution of CREATE TRIGGER statement (this is more courtesy for users
since we can't check everything anyway).
We also report that such reference is bad by returning error from
Item_trigger_field::fix_fields() method (instead of setup_field())
This means that if trigger is broken we will bark during trigger
execution instead of trigger definition parsing at table open.
(i.e. now we allow to open tables with broken triggers).
In server we assume that datetime values stored in MYSQL_TIME struct
are normalized (and year is not greater than 9999), so we should
perform range checks in all places then we convert something to
MYSQL_TIME.
the result takes its charset/collation
attributes from the character string,
e.g. SELECT func(NULL, _latin2'string')
now returns a latin2 result. This is
done by introducing a new derivation
(aka coercibility) level DERIVATION_IGNORABLE,
which is used with Item_null.
2. 'Pure' NULL is now BINARY(0), not CHAR(0).
I.e. NULL is now more typeless.
of client equals to character set of connection, possibly required
conversion to character set of column is not performed
(prepared statements, data is supplied using placeholders).
