columns
Fixed confusing warning.
Quoting INSERT section of the manual:
----
Inserting NULL into a column that has been declared NOT NULL. For
multiple-row INSERT statements or INSERT INTO ... SELECT statements, the
column is set to the implicit default value for the column data type. This
is 0 for numeric types, the empty string ('') for string types, and the
"zero" value for date and time types. INSERT INTO ... SELECT statements are
handled the same way as multiple-row inserts because the server does not
examine the result set from the SELECT to see whether it returns a single
row. (For a single-row INSERT, no warning occurs when NULL is inserted into
a NOT NULL column. Instead, the statement fails with an error.)
----
This is also true for LOAD DATA INFILE. For INSERT user can specify
DEFAULT keyword as a value to set column default. There is no similiar
feature available for LOAD DATA INFILE.
The problem was that when converting a string to an exact number,
rounding didn't work, because conversion didn't understand
approximate numbers notation.
Fix: a new function for string-to-number conversion was implemented,
which is aware of approxinate number notation (with decimal point
and exponent, e.g. -19.55e-1)
Table comment: issue a warning(error in traditional mode) if length of comment > 60 symbols
Column comment: issue a warning(error in traditional mode) if length of comment > 255 symbols
Table 'comment' is changed from char* to LEX_STRING
Added flag to Field::store(longlong) to specify if value is unsigned.
This fixes bug #12750: Incorrect storage of 9999999999999999999 in DECIMAL(19, 0)
Fixed warning from valgrind in CREATE ... SELECT
Fixed double free of mysql.options if reconnect failed
CAST() now produces warnings when casting a wrong INTEGER or CHAR values. This also applies to implicite string to number casts. (Bug #5912)
ALTER TABLE now fails in STRICT mode if it generates warnings.
Inserting a zero date in a DATE, DATETIME or TIMESTAMP column during TRADITIONAL mode now produces an error. (Bug #5933)
functionality into the test case "strict".
The additional sub test cases are part of the SoW6 test draft
(sow6-dates.test) written by Trudy/PeterG.
sow6-dates will be no longer needed, because "strict" contains with
this extension all sub test cases of sow6-dates.
are not specified in an insert. Most of these changes are actually to
clean up the test suite to either specify defaults to avoid warnings,
or add the warnings to the results. Related to bug #5986.
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
