Now one can use user variables as target for data loaded from file
(besides table's columns). Also LOAD DATA got new SET-clause in which
one can specify values for table columns as expressions.
For example the following is possible:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'words.dat' INTO TABLE t1 (a, @b) SET c = @b + 1;
This patch also implements new way of replicating LOAD DATA.
Now we do it similarly to other queries.
We store LOAD DATA query in new Execute_load_query event
(which is last in the sequence of events representing LOAD DATA).
When we are executing this event we simply rewrite part of query which
holds name of file (we use name of temporary file) and then execute it
as usual query. In the beggining of this sequence we use Begin_load_query
event which is almost identical to Append_file event
now by default, FLUSH, OPTIMIZE, ANALYZE, REPAIR commands are written to the
binlog, unless the new NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG keyword was used :
OPTIMIZE NO_WRITE_TO_BINLOG table t;
Previously these commands were never written to the binlog, but there are
2 reasons to change this :
- the RENAME TABLE in MERGE table bug (#175) on slave
- the possible "differently optimised queries may lead to different
updates on the master and slave" bug, until we have automatic ORDER BY.
FLUSH LOGS/SLAVE/MASTER/TABLES WITH READ LOCK are never written to the binlog.
New test for the new logging behaviour.
Other small change : reload_acl_and_cache() and reset_slave() don't send their errors themselves,
this is more usual.
