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.
and for (2) converting the columns:
1. ALTER TABLE t1 [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET xxx [COLLATE yyy]
2. ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET xxx [COLLATE yyy]
Actually it is not a bug but right behavior observed as pefomance
degradation after we have forced Item_field::fix_fields() to
re-execute each time when we are executing prep stmt.
This patch implements small optimization which heals this bad
behavior. We are caching field position in TABLE::field array in
Item's member and are using this position for speeding up field
lookups in fix_fields() in case of its re-execution.
that it tested the privilege in ::update() whereas it should be
in ::check() (see email from Serg, subject
"Re: bk commit - 4.1 tree (guilhem:1.1706)").
So I add instead a check_func function to sys_var_thd_bit.
I do the same addition to sys_var_thd_ulong, to unify handling
of PSEUDO_THREAD_ID with the one of SQL_LOG_BIN. So class
sys_var_pseudo_thread_id is not needed anymore, removing it.
"Running ANALYZE TABLE on bdb table inside a transaction hangs server thread"
1. added new status HA_ADMIN_REJECT and processing of it in mysql_admin_table
2. got ha_berkley::analyze to return HA_ADMIN_REJECT if there are any
transactions with the table..
init the binlog_cache (THD::transaction.trans_log).
I have checked all places where trans_log is used, because as now
it may not be inited in some cases, we have to be cautious
(will forward this commit mail to Heikki).
