Feature from Eric Bergen, CLA signed 2007-06-27.
Adds new mysql client option "--auto-vertical-output", which causes
the client to test whether a result table is too wide for the current
window (where available) and emit vertical results in that case.
Otherwise, it sends normal tabular results.
If a thread is killed in the server, we throw "shutdown" only if one is actually in
progress; otherwise, we throw "query interrupted".
Control-C in the mysql command-line client is "incremental" now.
First Control-C sends KILL QUERY (when connected to 5.0+ server, otherwise, see next)
Next Control-C sends KILL CONNECTION
Next Control-C aborts client.
As the first two steps only pertain to an existing query,
Control-C will abort the client right away if no query is running.
client will give more detailed/consistent feedback on Control-C now.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
server
If the server connection was lost during repeated status commands,
the client would fail to detect this and the client output would be inconsistent.
This patch fixes this issue by making sure that the server is online
before the client attempts to execute the status command.
The problem: described in the bug report.
The fix:
--increase buffers where it's necessary
(buffers which are used in stxnmov)
--decrease buffer lengths which are used
memory issue ?
The mysql command line client could misinterpret some character
sequences as commands under some circumstances.
The upper limit for internal readline buffer was raised to 1 GB
(the same as for server's max_allowed_packet) so that any input
line is processed by add_line() as a whole rather than in
chunks.
When asking what database is selected, client expected
to *always* get an answer from the server.
We now handle failure more gracefully.
See comments in ticket for a discussion of what happens,
and how things interlock.
mysql-client used static buffer to concatenate server-
version and version_comment. Sufficiently long comments
could get cut off. This was harmless, but looked daft.
Now using a dynamic buffer instead.
~40Mb after mysqldump/import
When the input string exceeds the maximum allowed size for the
internal buffer, batch_readline() returns a truncated string.
Since there was no way for a caller to determine whether the
string was truncated or not, the command line client assumed
batch_readline() to always return the whole input string and
appended a newline character. This resulted in garbled data
when importing dumps containing strings longer than the
maximum input buffer size.
Fixed by adding a flag to the batch_readline() interface to
signal a truncated string to the caller.
Other minor problems fixed during patch implementation:
- The maximum allowed buffer size for batch_readline() was set
up depending on the client's max_allowed_packet value. It does
not actully make any sense, as those variables are not
related. The input buffer size limit is now always set to 1
MB.
- fill_buffer() did not always set the EOF flag.
- The input buffer could actually grow twice as the specified
limit due to insufficient checks in intern_read_line().
There was a problem when a DELIMITER COMMAND is not the first
command on the line. I this case an extra line feed was added
to the glob buffer and this was causing subsequent attempts
to enter this delimiter to fail.
Fixed by not adding a new line to the glob buffer if the
command being added is a DELIMITER
