Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
Added two status variables:
binlog_cache_use - counts number of transactions that used somehow
transaction temporary binary log.
binlog_cache_disk_use - counts number of transactions that required
disk I/O for storing info in this this binary log.
distribution (this is more in line with how "make install" would install
them) - this should also fix a test failure in the "system_mysql_db_fix"
test.
table resolution".
Added members to Item_ident for storing original db, table and field
names since those that set later from Field have shorter life-time
than required by prep. stmt. So we need to restore original names in
Item_ident::cleanup(). Also now using special construnctor for creation
of Item_field from Field object that ensures that table and field name
have big enough life-time.
"Fix" for bug #2050 "10 to 1 performance drop with server 4.1.1"
Clean ups in implementation of caching of field number in table.
Added caching of table in which field is found in find_field_in_tables().
Add assertions to check that we do not go out of bounds of io thread status array
os0file.c:
Fix memory corruption (assertion failure on line 244 of sync0sync.c) reported by Miguel in a Windows build of MySQL-4.1.2. The bug is present in all InnoDB versions in Windows, but it depends on how the linker places a static array in srv0srv.c, whether the bug shows itself. 4 bytes were overwritten with a pointer to a statically allocated string: 'get windows aio return value'.
Marked --no-set-names as deprecated, the name is misleading and --no- in front
makes it cumbersome to use with --disable or --skip prefixes.
The old option will still work for the time being.
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]
