re-using unused LOCK_active_mi to serialize all administrative
commands related to replication:
START SLAVE, STOP SLAVE, RESET SLAVE, CHANGE MASTER, init_slave()
(replication autostart at server startup), end_slave() (replication
autostop at server shutdown), LOAD DATA FROM MASTER.
This protects us against a handful of deadlocks (like BUG#2921
when two START SLAVE, but when two STOP SLAVE too).
Removing unused variables.
symbol in libmysqlclient) (thanks to Dennis Haney for the initial patch)
- cleanup: removed client/password.c (not used at all) and
libmysql/password.c (should rather be a symlink to sql/password.c instead)
- applied HPUX11 portability fix for char_val declaration to sql/password.c
(taken from libmysql/password.c)
Call pthread_mutex_destroy() on not used mutex.
Changed comments in .h and .c files from // -> /* */
Added detection of mutex on which one didn't call pthread_mutex_destroy()
Fixed bug in create_tmp_field() which causes a memory overrun in queries that uses "ORDER BY constant_expression"
Added optimisation for ORDER BY NULL
Fixed comparision of log-binary name to handle comparison when file name extension wraps from .999 to .1000
Don't replicate CREATE/DROP DATABASE if wild_xxx_table=database.% is used.
Let MySQL 4.0 read 4.1 .frm files without 4.1 specific extensions
New variables @@rand_seed1 and @@rand_seed2 (used by replication)
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
Improve mysql-test to be more robust.
Fix that GRANT doesn't delete SSL options
Change innobase_flush_log_at_trx_commit to uint.
Don't rotate logs if we read a rotate log entry from the master.
Fixed bugs in my last changeset that made MySQL hard to compile.
Added mutex around some data that could cause table cache corruptions when using OPTIMIZE TABLE / REPAIR TABLE or automatic repair of MyISAM tables.
Added mutex around some data in the slave start/stop code that could cause THD linked list corruptions
Extended my_chsize() to allow one to specify a filler character.
Extend vio_blocking to return the old state (This made some usage of this function much simpler)
Added testing for some functions that they caller have got the required mutexes before calling the function.
Use setrlimit() to ensure that we can write core file if one specifies --core-file.
Added --slave-compressed-protocol
Made 2 the minimum length for ft_min_word_len
Added variables foreign_key_checks & unique_checks.
Less logging from replication code (if not started with --log-warnings)
Changed that SHOW INNODB STATUS requre the SUPER privilege
More DBUG statements and a lot of new code comments
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
Portability fixes for HPUX
Rename of CHECK_LOCK to IS_FREE_LOCK
Apply lower_case_table_names also to databases
Cleanup of describe code
Don't allow \ in database names
