Final version of patch.
Adds support for specifying of DEFAULT NOW() and/or ON UPDATE NOW()
clauses for TIMESTAMP field definition.
Current implementation allows only one such field per table and
uses several unireg types for storing info about this properties of
field. It should be replaced with better implementation when new
.frm format is introduced.
Added two status variables:
binlog_cache_use - counts number of transactions that used somehow
transaction temporary binary log.
binlog_cache_disk_use - counts number of transactions that required
disk I/O for storing info in this this binary log.
distribution (this is more in line with how "make install" would install
them) - this should also fix a test failure in the "system_mysql_db_fix"
test.
table resolution".
Added members to Item_ident for storing original db, table and field
names since those that set later from Field have shorter life-time
than required by prep. stmt. So we need to restore original names in
Item_ident::cleanup(). Also now using special construnctor for creation
of Item_field from Field object that ensures that table and field name
have big enough life-time.
"Fix" for bug #2050 "10 to 1 performance drop with server 4.1.1"
Clean ups in implementation of caching of field number in table.
Added caching of table in which field is found in find_field_in_tables().
Marked --no-set-names as deprecated, the name is misleading and --no- in front
makes it cumbersome to use with --disable or --skip prefixes.
The old option will still work for the time being.
and for (2) converting the columns:
1. ALTER TABLE t1 [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET xxx [COLLATE yyy]
2. ALTER TABLE t1 CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET xxx [COLLATE yyy]
Actually it is not a bug but right behavior observed as pefomance
degradation after we have forced Item_field::fix_fields() to
re-execute each time when we are executing prep stmt.
This patch implements small optimization which heals this bad
behavior. We are caching field position in TABLE::field array in
Item's member and are using this position for speeding up field
lookups in fix_fields() in case of its re-execution.
that it tested the privilege in ::update() whereas it should be
in ::check() (see email from Serg, subject
"Re: bk commit - 4.1 tree (guilhem:1.1706)").
So I add instead a check_func function to sys_var_thd_bit.
I do the same addition to sys_var_thd_ulong, to unify handling
of PSEUDO_THREAD_ID with the one of SQL_LOG_BIN. So class
sys_var_pseudo_thread_id is not needed anymore, removing it.
