various fixes (for mysql-test-run at least):
* accept --no-defaults
* 4.0 compatible password handling (only it no other argumensts, only if doesn't start with --)
ps_3innodb.test:
only run ps_3innodb.test if innodb is present
mysql-test-run.sh:
it's --verbose, not --verbose=1
Won't be pushed as is - separate email sent for internal review.
WL#1717 "binlog-innodb consistency".
Now when mysqld starts, if InnoDB does a crash recovery, we use the binlog name
and position retrieved from InnoDB (corresponding to the last transaction
successfully committed by InnoDB) to cut any rolled back transaction from
the binary log. This is triggered by the --innodb-safe-binlog option.
Provided you configure mysqld to fsync() InnoDB at every commit (using
flush_log_at_trx_commit) and to fsync() the binlog at every write
(using --sync-binlog=1), this behaviour guarantees that a master always has
consistency between binlog and InnoDB, whenever the crash happens.
6 tests to verify that it works.
Output TIMESTAMP in 4.1 format for 4.1 tables (or for TIMESTAMP(19)) (portability fix)
Fixed that INTERVAL can handle big integers. (Bug #3498)
Fixed that hostname="" works identical as hostname="%" for table/column grants (Bug #3473)
Added support for lower_case_table_names=2, which is to be used on case insensitive file systems.
This tells MySQL to preserve the used case of filenames and database names to make it esier to move files between cases sensitive can case insensitive file systems (like Windows and Linux)
Fixed compiler warnings (a lot of hidden variables detected by the Forte compiler)
Added a lot of 'version_xxx' strings to 'show variables'
Prevent copying of TMP_TABLE_PARAM (This caused core dump bug on Solaris)
Fixed problem with printing sub selects to debug log
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.
