To make MySQL compatible with some ODBC applications, you can find
the AUTO_INCREMENT value for the last inserted row with the following query:
SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE auto_col IS NULL.
This is done with a special code that replaces 'auto_col IS NULL' with
'auto_col = LAST_INSERT_ID'.
However this also resets the LAST_INSERT_ID to 0 as it uses it for a flag
so as to ensure that only the first SELECT ... WHERE auto_col IS NULL
after an INSERT has this special behaviour.
In order to avoid resetting the LAST_INSERT_ID a special flag is introduced
in the THD class. This flag is used to restrict the second and subsequent
SELECTs instead of LAST_INSERT_ID.
auto_increment breaks binlog":
if slave's table had a higher auto_increment counter than master's (even
though all rows of the two tables were identical), then in some cases,
REPLACE and INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE failed to replicate
statement-based (it inserted different values on slave from on master).
write_record() contained a "thd->next_insert_id=0" to force an adjustment
of thd->next_insert_id after the update or replacement. But it is this
assigment introduced indeterminism of the statement on the slave, thus
the bug. For ON DUPLICATE, we replace that assignment by a call to
handler::adjust_next_insert_id_after_explicit_value() which is deterministic
(does not depend on slave table's autoinc counter). For REPLACE, this
assignment can simply be removed (as REPLACE can't insert a number larger
than thd->next_insert_id).
We also move a too early restore_auto_increment() down to when we really know
that we can restore the value.
- Fixed problem, only detect comment if the # is on start of line AND starting line of the current command.
- Wrote tests for most of the mysqltest commands, added stricter checking of correct syntax.
