Enabled VARCHAR testing for innodb
NOTE: innodb.test currently fails becasue of a bug in InnoDB.
I have informed Heikki about this and expect him to fix this ASAP
Add support for VARCHAR with 1 or 2 length bytes
Enable VARCHAR packing in MyISAM files (previous patch didn't pack data properly)
Give error if we got problems in temporary tables during a SELECT
Don't use new table generated by ALTER TABLE if index generation fails
Fixed wrong call by range_end() (Could cause an ASSERT in debug mode)
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
Added put_length() to get_length() and unpack_key() to pack_key().
Keys were packed with the minimum size of the length field for the key part and
unpacked with length size of the base column.
For the purpose of optimal key packing we have the method pack_key(), while rows are
packed with pack(). Now keys are unpacked with unpack_key() and no longer with
unpack() which is used for rows.
Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
Let myisamchk generate a new checksum for compressed data.
Don't unconditionally force filenames to lower case on windows.
Update mysqltest to match 4.0 source (to get some of the new bug fixes into 3.23)
Remember UNION for ALTER TABLE
Added test for if we are supporting transactions.
Don't allow REPLACE to replace a row when we have generated an auto_increment key
Fixed bug when using BLOB keys
Fixed bug in SET @variable=user.
ha_berkeley.cc - Use the DB_RMW (read, modify, write) flag when removing a key
ha_berkeley.h - Don't use subtransactions in update_row by default
sql_table.cc - Don't use subtransactions in update_row by default
