and new binlog format called "mixed" (which is statement-based except if only row-based is correct,
in this cset it means if UDF or UUID is used; more cases could be added in later 5.1 release):
SET GLOBAL|SESSION BINLOG_FORMAT=row|statement|mixed|default;
the global default is statement unless cluster is enabled (then it's row) as in 5.1-alpha.
It's not possible to use SET on this variable if a session is currently in row-based mode and has open temporary tables (because CREATE
TEMPORARY TABLE was not binlogged so temp table is not known on slave), or if NDB is enabled (because
NDB does not support such change on-the-fly, though it will later), of if in a stored function (see below).
The added tests test the possibility or impossibility to SET, their effects, and the mixed mode,
including in prepared statements and in stored procedures and functions.
Caveats:
a) The mixed mode will not work for stored functions: in mixed mode, a stored function will
always be binlogged as one call and in a statement-based way (e.g. INSERT VALUES(myfunc()) or SELECT myfunc()).
b) for the same reason, changing the thread's binlog format inside a stored function is
refused with an error message.
c) the same problems apply to triggers; implementing b) for triggers will be done later (will ask
Dmitri).
Additionally, as the binlog format is now changeable by each user for his session, I remove the implication
which was done at startup, where row-based automatically set log-bin-trust-routine-creators to 1
(not possible anymore as a user can now switch to stmt-based and do nasty things again), and automatically
set --innodb-locks-unsafe-for-binlog to 1 (was anyway theoretically incorrect as it disabled
phantom protection).
Plus fixes for compiler warnings.
1. dbug state is now local to a thread
2. new macros: DBUG_EXPLAIN, DBUG_EXPLAIN_INITIAL,
DBUG_SET, DBUG_SET_INITIAL, DBUG_EVALUATE, DBUG_EVALUATE_IF
3. macros are do{}while(0) wrapped
4. incremental modifications to the dbug state (e.g. "+d,info:-t")
5. dbug code cleanup, style fixes
6. _db_on_ and DEBUGGER_ON/OFF removed
7. rest of MySQL code fixed because of 3 (missing ;) and 6
8. dbug manual updated
9. server variable @@debug (global and local) to control dbug from SQL!
a. -#T to print timestamps in the log
internal charset to one associated with currently being handled query.
To note such a query can come from interactive client either.
There was a discussion within replication team and Monty who's suggestion won.
It avoids straightforward parsing of all `set' queries that could affect client side
character set.
According to the idea, mysql client does not parse `set' queries but rather cares of
`charset new_cs_name' command.
This command is generated by mysqlbinlog in form of exclaiming comment (Lars' suggestion)
so that enlightened clients like `mysql' knows what to do with it.
Interactive human can switch between many multi-byte charsets during the session
providing the command explicitly.
To note that setting new internal mysql's charset does not
trigger sending any `SET' sql statement to the server.
cleaned up some of the casts as a result of Mats' review.
