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
Bad examples of usage of a string with its length fixed.
The incorrect length in the trigger file configuration descriptor
fixed (BUG#14090).
A hook for unknown keys added to the parser to support old .TRG files.
handling of savepoints in stored routines.
Fixed ha_rollback_to_savepoint()/ha_savepoint()/ha_release_savepoint()
functions to properly handle savepoints inside of stored functions and
triggers.
Also now when we invoke stored function or trigger we create new savepoint
level. We destroy it at the end of function/trigger execution and return back
to old savepoint level.
large table gives server crash": make sure that when a MyISAM temporary
table is created for a cursor, it's created in its memory root,
not the memory root of the current query.
- CHAR() now returns binary string as default
- CHAR(X*65536+Y*256+Z) is now equal to CHAR(X,Y,Z) independent of the character set for CHAR()
- Test for both ETIMEDOUT and ETIME from pthread_cond_timedwait()
(Some old systems returns ETIME and it's safer to test for both values
than to try to write a wrapper for each old system)
- Fixed new introduced bug in NOT BETWEEN X and X
- Ensure we call commit_by_xid or rollback_by_xid for all engines, even if one engine has failed
- Use octet2hex() for all conversion of string to hex
- Simplify and optimize code
Handlerton array is now created instead of using sys_table_types_st. All storage engines can now have inits and giant ifdef's are now gone for startup. No compeltely clean yet, handlertons will next be merged with sys_table_types. Federated and archive now have real cleanup if their inits fail.
The alias structure now is a bit more simple and just uses a pointer to replace with the currect name. The giant case statement should go away in the next patch.
cursor is interpreted latin1 character and Bug#9819 "Cursors: Mysql Server
Crash while fetching from table with 5 million records."
A fix for a possible memory leak when fetching into an SP cursor
in a long loop.
The patch uses a common implementation of cursors in the binary protocol and
in stored procedures and implements materialized cursors.
For implementation details, see comments in sql_cursor.cc
Added flag to Field::store(longlong) to specify if value is unsigned.
This fixes bug #12750: Incorrect storage of 9999999999999999999 in DECIMAL(19, 0)
Fixed warning from valgrind in CREATE ... SELECT
Fixed double free of mysql.options if reconnect failed
its body, but lets each statement to get/release its own locks. This allows a broader set
of statements to be executed inside PROCEDUREs (but breaks replication)
This patch should fix BUG#8072, BUG#8766, BUG#9563, BUG#11126
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.
