The problem is that since MyISAM's concurrent_insert is on by
default some concurrent SELECT statements might not see changes
made by INSERT statements in other connections, even if the
INSERT statement has returned.
The solution is to disable concurrent_insert so that INSERT
statements returns after the data is actually visible to other
statements.
Fix: "mysql --xml" now print NULL values the same way that "mysqldump --xml" does:
<field name="name" xsi:nil="true" />
to distinguish from empty strings:
<field name="name"></field>
and from string "NULL":
<field name="name">NULL</field>
tool does, with the column names as attributes on <field>
elements, instead of trying to use the column name as the
element name. Also fix some encoding issues. (Bug #7811)
