if() treated any non-numeric string as false
Fixed to treat those as true instead
Added some test cases
Fixed missing $ in variable name in include/mix2.inc

message:
Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
active transactions using the object being modified.
The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
transactions.
- Incompatible change:
If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
and trying to acquire them all in one go.
But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.
Let's consider an example:
A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.
At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
-- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.
- Incompatible change:
FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.
The patch for WL 1563 added a new duplicate key error message so that the
key name could be provided instead of the key number. But the error code
for the new message was used even though that did not need to change.
This could cause unnecessary problems for applications that used the old
ER_DUP_ENTRY error code to detect duplicate key errors.
WL#3397 Refactoring storage engine test cases (for falcon)
It contains fixes according to second code review.
- Remove any occurence of hardcoded assignments of storage engines
- Use variable names exact telling what it is used for
- Updated comments
- remove trailing spaces
WL#3397 Refactoring storage engine test cases (for falcon)
It contains also fixes according to code review.
Contents: Testcases which were in history dedicated to InnoDB or MyISAM only.
Modifications:
1. Shift the main testing code into include/<testing field>.inc
Introduce $variables which can be used to omit tests for features which are not supported by
certain storage engines.
2. The storage engine to be tested is assigned within the toplevel script (t/<whatever>_<engine>.test)
via variable $engine_type and the the main testing code is sourced from
include/<testing field>.inc
3. Some toplevel testscripts have to be renamed to
- avoid immediate or future namespace clashes
- show via filename which storage engine is tested
4. Minor code cleanup like remove trailing spaces, some additional comments ....
