This allows one to setup a master <-> master replication with non conflicting auto-increment series.
Cleaned up binary log code to make it easyer to add new state variables.
Added simpler 'upper level' logic for artificial events (events that should not cause cleanups on slave).
Simplified binary log handling.
Changed how auto_increment works together with to SET INSERT_ID=# to make it more predictable: Now the inserted rows in a multi-row statement are set independent of the existing rows in the table. (Before only InnoDB did this correctly)
Fixed (together with Guilhem) bugs in mysqlbinlog regarding --offset
Prefix addresses with 0x for easier comparisons of debug logs
Fixed problem where MySQL choosed index-read even if there would be a much better range on the same index
This fix changed some 'index' queries to 'range' queries in the test suite
Don't create 'dummy' WHERE clause for trivial WHERE clauses where we can remove the WHERE clause.
This fix removed of a lot of 'Using where' notes in the test suite.
Give NOTE instead of WARNING if table/function doesn't exists when using DROP IF EXISTS
Give NOTE instead of WARNING for safe field-type conversions
by KILL or shutdown, do not mark the table as corrupted".
It is indeed more logical to leave the corruption flag unchanged.
This cannot be extended to REPAIR/OPTIMIZE as they make no backup copy
of the MYI. This patch was tested with KILL and mysqladmin shutdown
while a CHECK TABLE was running. Without the patch, the table becomes
unusable (can't INSERT to it, error 145). With the patch, no.
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
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
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.
Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
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.
