Now the I/O thread (in flush_master_info()) flushes the relay log to disk
after reading every event. Slower but provides additionnal safety in case
of brutal crash.
I had to make the flush optional (i.e. add a if(some_bool_argument) in the function)
because sometimes flush_master_info() is called when there is no usable
relay log (the relay log's IO_CACHE is not initialized so can't be flushed).
Added option --max-record-length=# to myisamchk
Don't try repair twice if doing myisamchk --repair --force
Shared memory handler didn't clean up things on errors or shutdown
The right way to fix this is to change the Field::store(longlong) method to be
Field::store(longlong, bool unsigned_flag), but this is better to do in 4.1 than in 4.0
(Initial caps for each word.) For example, instead of writing
Until_condition, Until_Log_File, and Until_log_pos, write
Until_Condition, Until_Log_File, and Until_Log_pos.
has (in mysql-test-run) a slave-net-timeout=10. So the 'sleep 1' below
was converted in 'sleep 10', so slave thought that connection was down,
so reconnected, so got an additional (fake) Rotate event, which shifted
the positions displayed by SHOW SLAVE STATUS.
"CHANGE MASTER makes SQL thread restart from coordinates of I/O thread".
So, in CHANGE MASTER:
when it seems reasonable that the user did not want to discontinue
its replication (i.e. when he is not specifying host or port or master_log_file
or master_log_pos; this will be documented), set the coordinates of the
I/O thread to those of the SQL thread. This way, the SQL thread will see
no discontinuity in the relay log (i.e. will skip no events), because
the I/O thread will fill the brand new relay log with the events which
are just after the position where the SQL thread had stopped
(before CHANGE MASTER was issued).
And a new test for this bug.
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.
