Server will however still accept shutdown without specified level; so that old
mysqladmin can still shut server down.
I would like your comments on the names of shutdown level which I chose. You
are welcome to propose better names. Please however check WL#709 before.
Reason for the names I propose is to be accurate, thus leaving possibility
for other levels which we may imagine in the future; that's why I have rejected
names like "fast", "smart", "graceful" so far. My position is that WAIT_ALL_BUFFERS
or WAIT_CRITICAL_BUFFERS say what the shutdown does, whereas for "smart", "fast" you
need to remember what it does.
This should be pushed in 4.1.3 but only after your comments.
after Monty's review.
- Item_param was rewritten.
- it turns out that we can't convert string data to character set of
connection on the fly, because they first should be written to the binary
log.
To support efficient conversion we need to rewrite prepared statements
binlogging code first.
Fixed security problem that password was temporarly reset when someone changed GRANT for a user. (Bug #3404)
Fixed problem with PROCEDURE analyse() and impossible WHERE (Bug #2238)
Don't auto-repair tables in mysqlcheck if table type doesn't support 'check' command.
flag is sent to server with placeholder types.
There were no need to extend the protocol as one additional byte
was reserved for placeholder code, when placeholder code is in range 0-255.
So this byte is now used for flags. Post-review fixes added.
mysql_stmt_reset() now resets param->long_data_used
Abort if --defaults-file=path-name uses a non-existing file (Bug #3413)
Fixed problem with symlink test (bug in 4.1.2)
flaws list)
TODO:
* verify that no sequence of API calls produces SIGSEGV.
That is, verify that mysql_stmt_init -> mysql_stmt_fetch is OK,
or mysql_stmt_prepare -> mysql_stmt_fetch_column is OK and sets
meaningful error.
* remove alloc_stmt_fields call
* revise stmt->state codes and statement states.
* there are other items in prepared statements 'to fix' document.
Done:
- cleanups and comments
- revision of prepared statement error codes.
- mysql_stmt_prepare is now can always be called (that is, you can reprepare
a statement)
- new implementation of mysql_stmt_close and fetch cancellation
Problem was that we checked for existing connection in stmt_close
and did not free(stmt) if it's closed (that didn't work well with
embedded)
I just added new flag to the stmt_close and now we check it instead
of connection
