SQL-mode PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH affected mysqld's user-table too. If
enabled, user-name and host were space-padded and no longer matched
the login-data of incoming connexions.
Patch disregards pad-flag while loading privileges so ability to log
in does not depend on SQL-mode.
This pads the value of CHAR columns with spaces up to full column length (according to ANSI)
It's not makde part of oracle or ansi mode yet, as this would cause a notable behaviour change.
Added uuid_short(), a generator for increasing 'unique' longlong integers (8 bytes)
symptom). sys_var::check_set() was wrong. mysqlbinlog makes use of such SET SQL_MODE=N
(where N is interpreted like if SQL_MODE was a field of type SET), so
this bug affected recovery from binlogs if the server was running with certain SQL_MODE values,
for example the default values on Windows (STRICT_TRANS_TABLES); to work around this bug people
had to edit mysqlbinlog's output.
"CHARACTER SET", "COLLATE", and "DEFAULT" are always
printed(excepting MODE_MYSQL323 and MODE_MYSQL40)
"AUTO_INCREMENT", "ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" are printed only
if NO_FIELD_OPTIONS is not set.
"SHOW CREATE TABLE" mysql-4.0 and mysql-3.23
compatibiliry mode change:
Check that a binary collation adds 'binary'
suffix into a char() column definition in
mysql40 and mysql2323 modes. This allows
not to lose the column's case sensitivity
when loading the dump in pre-4.1 servers.
Added a check to recover from IGNORE_SPACE in this situation:
<ident-character(s)><space><dot><ident-character(s)>
The ignored space led to the false identification of the dot
as an ident separator (like "db.table").
bmove_allign -> bmove_align
Added OLAP function ROLLUP
Split mysql_fix_privilege_tables to a script and a .sql data file
Added new (MEMROOT*) functions to avoid calling current_thd() when creating some common objects.
Added table_alias_charset, for easier --lower-case-table-name handling
Better SQL_MODE handling (Setting complex options also sets sub options)
New (faster) assembler string functions for x86
