Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
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
CREATE DATABASE statement used the current database instead of the
database created when checking conditions for replication.
CREATE/DROP/ALTER DATABASE statements are now replicated based on
the manipulated database.
insertion of new records partially failed. It would get logged because of the
logic to log a partially-failed 'INSERT ... SELECT' (which can't be rolled back
in non-transactional tables), but 'CREATE TABLE ... SELECT' is always rolled
back on failure, even for non-transactional tables. (Bug #6682)
(Original fix reimplemented after review by Serg and Guilhem.)
Added auto-correct of field length for enum/set tables for ALTER TABLE
This is becasue of a bug in previous MySQL 4.1 versions where the length for enum/set was set incorrectly after ALTER TABLE
- add_field_to_list() now uses <List>String
instead of TYPELIB to be able to distinguish
literals 'aaa' and hex literals 0xaabbcc.
- move some code from add_field_to_list() where
we don't know column charset yet, to
mysql_prepare_table(), where we do.
