of system vars at PREPARE time": implement a special Item
to handle system variables. This item substitutes itself with
a basic constant containing variable value at fix_fields.
data": remove the fix for another bug (8807) that
added OUTER_REF_TABLE_BIT to all subqueries that used a placeholder
to prevent their evaluation at prepare. As this bit hanged in
Item_subselect::used_tables_cache for ever, a constant subquery with
a placeholder was never evaluated as such, which caused wrong
choice of the execution plan for the statement.
- to fix Bug#8807 backport a better fix from 5.0
- post-review fixes.
INSERT ... SELECT with UNION" (reviewed version).
Altough bug manifest itself only starting from 5.0 it is better to
apply fix to 4.1 to keep some assumptions true and make code more
future-proof.
- Print warning that says display width is not supported for datatype TIMESTAMP, if user tries to create a TIMESTAMP column with display width.
- Use display width for TIMESTAMP only in type_timestamp test to make sure warning is displayed correctly.
error for LIMIT placeholder".
The patch adds grammar support for LIMIT ?, ? and changes the
type of ST_SELECT_LEX::select_limit,offset_limit from ha_rows to Item*,
so that it can point to Item_param.
records if prepared statements is used".
This fix changes equality evaluation method of basic constants from
by-name to by-value, thus effectively enabling use of parameter markers
in some optimizations (constants propagation, evaluation of possible
keys for query).
and bug#8849 "problem with insert statement with table alias's":
make equality propagation work in stored procedures and prepared
statements.
Equality propagation can change AND/OR structure of ON expressions,
so the fix is to provide each execution of PS/SP with it's own
copy of AND/OR tree. We have been doing that already for WHERE clauses,
now ON clauses are also copied.
Renamed HA_VAR_LENGTH to HA_VAR_LENGTH_PART
Renamed in all files FIELD_TYPE_STRING and FIELD_TYPE_VAR_STRING to MYSQL_TYPE_STRING and MYSQL_TYPE_VAR_STRING to make it easy to catch all possible errors
Added support for VARCHAR KEYS to heap
Removed support for ISAM
Now only long VARCHAR columns are changed to TEXT on demand (not CHAR)
Internal temporary files can now use fixed length tables if the used VARCHAR columns are short
of <parameter> IS NULL":
we must not only set Item::null_value in Item_param, but implement
Item_param::is_null() to work well with IS NULL/IS NOT NULL clauses.
and blank after function name".
Crop fruits of copy-paste programming: pre-caching of stored functions
wasn't performed for prepared statements just because implementation
of prepared statements is done as an add-on to the main execution flow,
and the preload was originally implemented for main execution branch
only (mysql_execute_command).
