The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
The idea of the patch
is that every cursor gets its own lock id for table level locking.
Thus cursors are protected from updates performed within the same
connection. Additionally a list of transient (must be closed at
commit) cursors is maintained and all transient cursors are closed
when necessary. Lastly, this patch adds support for deadlock
timeouts to TLL locking when using cursors.
+ post-review fixes.
Moved the key statistics update to info().
The table is not locked in open(). This made wrong stats possible.
No test case for the test suite.
This happens only with heavy concurrency.
A test script is added to the bug report.
This allows one to setup a master <-> master replication with non conflicting auto-increment series.
Cleaned up binary log code to make it easyer to add new state variables.
Added simpler 'upper level' logic for artificial events (events that should not cause cleanups on slave).
Simplified binary log handling.
Changed how auto_increment works together with to SET INSERT_ID=# to make it more predictable: Now the inserted rows in a multi-row statement are set independent of the existing rows in the table. (Before only InnoDB did this correctly)
Set default max_allowed_packet to be able to read help tables even if an my.cnf file with this option is present. (Bug #3938)
Don't use default arguments for ha_rnd_init()
Simple code cleanups since last pull
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
New records_in_range() interface (similar to read_range())
Macros for faster bitmap handling
Simplify read_range() code (#WL1786)
New general key_cmp() function to compare keys
HEAP: Copies the key count to a backup variable and sets the key count to zero.
That way, no HEAP function will ever try to touch any index.
Re-enabling is done by copying back the backup variable.
To avoid memory leak at table close, disable deletes all index trees.
Re-enabling must be done with empty indexes and data anyway. Otherwise,
the indexes would need to be repaired, wich HEAP is not capable of.
MyISAM: Only the key_map is cleared and set.
Re-enabling must be done with empty indexes and data. Otherwise, repair needs
to be done which will enable all keys persistently.
The former implementation disabled only non-unique keys and maked this persistent.
The new implementation additionally can disable all keys, but only without
making this persistent. Re-enabling all keys can be done without repair,
if data file and indexes are empty.
Don't read character set files if we are using only the default charset. In most cases the user will not anymore get a warning about missing character set files
Compare strings with space extend instead of space strip. Now the following comparisons holds: "a" == "a " and "a\t" < "a". (Bug #3152).
Note: Because of the above fix, one has to do a REPAIR on any table that has an ascii character < 32 last in a CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns.
Fixes for building MySQL with gcc 3.0
Added SIGNED / UNSIGNED casts
Fixed core dump bug in net_clear() with libmysqld.
Back to using semaphores in query cache.
Added 'Null' and 'Index_type' to SHOW INDEX.
