WL#1284 (warnings about --skip-name-resolve)
Now MySQL will issue warnings during startup about entries in
grant tables with hostnames that require resolve, and after
GRANT commands with that kind of hostnames.
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
Cleaned up (and disabled part of) date/time/datetime format patch. One can't anymore change default read/write date/time/formats.
This is becasue the non standard datetime formats can't be compared as strings and MySQL does still a lot of datetime comparisons as strings
Changed flag argument to str_to_TIME() and get_date() from bool to uint
Removed THD from str_to_xxxx functions and Item class.
Fixed core dump when doing --print-defaults
Move some common string functions to strfunc.cc
Dates as strings are now of type my_charset_bin instead of default_charset()
Introduce IDENT_QUOTED to not have to create an extra copy of simple identifiers (all chars < 128)
Removed xxx_FORMAT_TYPE enums and replaced them with the old TIMESTAMP_xxx enums
Renamed some TIMESTAMP_xxx enums to more appropriate names
Use defines instead of integers for date/time/datetime string lengths
Added to build system and use the new my_strtoll10() function.
Added proper options to CHANGE MASTER TO, new fields to SHOW SLAVE STATUS,
Honoring this parameters during connection to master.
Introduced new format of master.info file
BUG#797 "If query ignored on slave (replicate-ignore-table) the slave still checks if
the returned error (0) is the same as the one on the master, whereas it shouldn't
test this.
Plus a new test for BUG#797.
--old-passwords
Support for option --old-protocol was removed.
Some test performed.
Tests for SSL and replication are pending.
More strict following to specification for --old-passwords
is in the TODO.
doing it in sql_yacc.yy does not work
this commit contains fixes for other tests
there are fixes in subselect test which will have to be changed
once fix_fields is fixed to work with aliased derived tables
Some simple optimzations, more comments and indentation changes.
Add ` around database in 'use database' in binary log.
Moved max_error_count and max_warning_count to variables struct.
Removed SHOW_WARNS_COUNT and SHOW_ERRORS_COUNT calls.
Changed string functions to use character set of first string argument as default return characterset
(Each string function can change the above assumption if needed)
More DBUG info for replication
Better error messages from replication
Fixed bug in replication code when connecting to 'localhost' (time was not released properly)
Block ALARM signal on Linux for signal handler thread (Fixes problem with running mysqld with --debug)
Removed warning when setting an AUTO_INCREMENT field to NULL
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
SHOW DATABASES
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE
LOCK TABLES
REPLICATION SLAVE & REPLICATION CLIENT
SUPER
EXECUTE
All scripts & documentation is updated for this change.
Added better error messages for global privileges
Test of unsigned BIGINT values
Fixes for queries-per-hour
Cleanup of replication code (comments and portability fixes)
Make most of the binary log code 4G clean
Changed syntax for GRANT ... QUERIES PER HOUR
Use LONG_TIMEOUT (one year) instead of ~0 for long timeouts
Fixed error messages.
Fixed problem with const propagation when comparing columns of different types
