mysqld >=4.1.3 will however understand shutdown requests sent by clients <4.1.3.
And mysqld <4.1.3 will understand shutdown requests sent by clients >=4.1.3
(it will ignore the level). Those shutdown level are just PLACEHOLDERS now.
So this change is just to make the 4.1 API suitable before it is frozen. Later
we will actually implement the shutdown levels.
Added basic per-thread time zone functionality (based on public
domain elsie-code). Now user can select current time zone
(from the list of time zones described in system tables).
All NOW-like functions honor this time zone, values of TIMESTAMP
type are interpreted as values in this time zone, so now
our TIMESTAMP type behaves similar to Oracle's TIMESTAMP WITH
LOCAL TIME ZONE (or proper PostgresSQL type).
WL#1266 "CONVERT_TZ() - basic time with time zone conversion
function".
Fixed problems described in Bug #2336 (Different number of warnings
when inserting bad datetime as string or as number). This required
reworking of datetime realted warning hadling (they now generated
at Field object level not in conversion functions).
Optimization: Now Field class descendants use table->in_use member
instead of current_thd macro.
Server will however still accept shutdown without specified level; so that old
mysqladmin can still shut server down.
I would like your comments on the names of shutdown level which I chose. You
are welcome to propose better names. Please however check WL#709 before.
Reason for the names I propose is to be accurate, thus leaving possibility
for other levels which we may imagine in the future; that's why I have rejected
names like "fast", "smart", "graceful" so far. My position is that WAIT_ALL_BUFFERS
or WAIT_CRITICAL_BUFFERS say what the shutdown does, whereas for "smart", "fast" you
need to remember what it does.
This should be pushed in 4.1.3 but only after your comments.
produce hex digits in lower case). (fixed version)
Replaced _dig_vec array with two _dig_vec_upper/_dig_vec_lower arrays.
Added extra argument to int2str function which controls case of digits you get.
Replaced lot of invocations of int2str for decimal radix with more optimized int10_to_str()
function.
Removed unused my_itoa/my_ltoa functions.
