Final patch
-----------
This WL is about using this bitmap in all parts of the partition handler.
Thus for:
rnd_init/rnd_next
index_init/index_next and all other variants of index scans
read_range_... the various range scans implemented in the partition handler.
Also use those bitmaps in the various other calls that currently loop over all
partitions.
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
- post-...-post review fixes
- Added "integer range walking" that allows to do partition pruning for "a <=? t.field <=? b"
by finding used partitions for a, a+1, a+2, ..., b-1, b.
- Added more comments.
- Added a RANGE_OPT_PARAM::remove_jump_scans flag that disables construction of index_merge
SEL_TREEs that represent unusable conditions like "key1part1<c1 OR key2part2<c2"
- make prune_partitions() function handle the case where range analysis produces a list of
index_merge trees (it turned out that this is possible, appropriate test case added).
- Other small fixes.
Distribute "handlerton-win.cc"
mysqld.cc:
Corrected word lenght for some innobase
configuration variables
Makefile.am:
Added Visual Studio 7 project file to EXTRA_DIST
ha_partition.cc, sql_partition.cc:
Changed include to use "..." for Windows
handlerton-win.cc:
Handle engine include/exclude with defines for Windows
new file
The previous variant where it was a specific ha_partition method
only worked for the partition handler. It was unfortunately called also
for the NDB handler and in this case it called a random method in the
NDB handler with random input.
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
