Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
command delimiter to change the default delimiter (;) to something
else, a string upto 16 characters is allowed. Separate the sub
queries with ';' and end the whole statement with your own delimiter.
Don't dump data for MRG_ISAM or MRG_MYISAM tables. (Bug #1846)
Ensure that 'lower_case_table_names' is always set on case insensitive file systems. (Bug #1812)
One can now configure MySQL as windows service as a normal user. (Bug #1802)
Database names is now compared with lower case in ON clause when lower_case_table_names is set. (Bug #1736)
IGNORE ... LINES option didn't work when used with fixed length rows. (Bug #1704)
Change INSERT DELAYED ... SELECT... to INSERT .... SELECT (Bug #1983)
Safety fix for service 'mysql start' (Bug #1815)
Client option secure-auth deployed on all possible layers:
- mysql client command-line and config file option
- mysql_options option MYSQL_SECURE_AUTH
- mysql_real_connect will automatically take into account that option if
mysql->options.my_cnf_file/my_cnf_group is set
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
** I already fixed it in 3.23; I fix it in 4.0 separately because the
code is a bit different (so the changeset 1.1422 of 3.23 should not be
merged here) **
Make mysqlbinlog prompt for the password if
mysqlbinlog -p
instead of printing the usage().
This makes mysqlbinlog behave like other clients.
This new code was almost copied from mysqldump.
Note that before, one could use
mysqlbinlog -p pass
and now one must use
mysqlbinlog -ppass
(putting a space will ask for the password).
