reset mysql->net.last_error": the solution is to clear
MYSQL->net error before performing COM_CLOSE: if the call
succeeds, the connection is usable for other statements.
More comprehensive fix is to clear MYSQL->net for all
recoverable errors at the time they happen, it will be
implemented in 5.0 as it introduces incompatibility in behavior.
- renamed the tests that use the embedded server (client_test ->
mysql_client_test_embedded, mysqltest -> mysql_test_embedded
and changed some Makefiles and scripts so they are installed in $bindir
(required to be able to run the test suite against the embedded server)
Changed my_error() to print error messages, which come from
arbitrary registered ranges of error messages. Messages can
be unregistered (and should be at end of the program).
Added registration of handler error messages.
Added a new mi_print_error() macro and a new
mi_report_error() function, which supply error
messages with a table name.
Added calls to mi_print_error() or mi_report_error()
at all places in MyISAM, where table corruption is detected.
All our programs which use mysql_real_connect() and mysql_connect() are updated accordingly, though I have deliberately
made mysqlimport not reconnect anymore (already true for mysqldump >= 4.1.8).
All Connector devs have been warned about the change I'm doing here - which was agreed with Monty,
and fixes BUG#2555.
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
In server we assume that datetime values stored in MYSQL_TIME struct
are normalized (and year is not greater than 9999), so we should
perform range checks in all places then we convert something to
MYSQL_TIME.
having approval for it since 4.1.4, I also have some assurance that
very few people actually used this: to enable these calls a user
had to #define HAVE_DEPRECATED_411_API and recompile the client library.
New mysqltest that can run mysqltest with PS
Added support for ZEROFILL in PS
Fixed crash when one called mysql_stmt_store_result() without a preceding mysql_stmt_bind_result()
Updated test cases to support --ps-protocol
(Some tests are still run using old protocol)
Fixed crash in PS when using SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2...
Fixed crash in PS when using sub queries
Create table didn't signal when table was created. This could cause a "DROP TABLE created_table" in another thread to wait "forever"
Fixed wrong permissions check in PS and multi-table updates (one could get permission denied for legal quries)
Fix for PS and SELECT ... PROCEDURE
Reset all warnings when executing a new PS query
group_concat(...ORDER BY) didn't work with PS
Fixed problem with test suite when not using innodb
