Bill Qu 5693b1e4a4 Bug #15868071 USING SET GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
Normally, SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN is used by DBAs to run a
non-conflicting command locally only, ensuring it does not
get replicated.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN would not require all sessions to
disconnect. When SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally, it does not
immediately take effect for any sessions. It takes effect by
becoming the session-level default inherited at the start of
each new session, and this setting is kept and cached for the
duration of that session. Setting it intentionally is unlikely
to have a useful effect under any circumstance; setting it
unintentionally, such as while intending to use SET [SESSION]
is potentially disastrous. Accidentally using SET GLOBAL
SQL_LOG_BIN will not show an immediate effect to the user,
instead not having the desired session-level effect, and thus
causing other potential problems with local-only maintenance
being binlogged and executed on slaves; And transactions from
new sessions (after SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally) are not
binlogged and replicated, which would result in irrecoverable
or difficult data loss.
This is the regular GLOBAL variables way to work, but in
replication context it does not look right on a working server
(with connected sessions) 'set global sql_log_bin' and none of
that connections is affected. Unexperienced DBA after noticing
that the command did "nothing" will change the session var and
most probably won't unset the global var, causing new sessions
to not be binlog.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN allows DBA to stop binlogging on all
new sessions, which can be used to make a server "replication
read-only" without restarting the server. But this has such big
requirements, stop all existing connections, that it is more
likely to make a mess, it is too risky to allow the GLOBAL variable.

The statement 'SET GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN=N' will produce an error
in 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. Reading the GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN will produce
a deprecation warning in 5.7.

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run
the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in
this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it.

Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could
actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not
conflict with it.

All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please
read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the
problem:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html

If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests,
use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode,
the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run.
For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests
with an external server:

mysql-test-run --extern alias analyze

To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and
other relevant options.

With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back
to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some
tests cannot run with an external server.


You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new
file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test
extension. For example:

 xemacs t/test_case_name.test

 In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables,
 load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it.

 We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not
 conflict too much with existing tables).

 Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and
 end by dropping them again.  This ensures that you can run the test over
 and over again.
 
 If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your
 test case, you should create the result file as follows:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 or

 mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test

 If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and
 comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result

 mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test

 When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result
 - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should
   edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify
   that the bug is corrected in future releases.

To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into
a tar.gz or zip archive, create a bug report at http://bugs.mysql.com/
and attach the archive to the bug report.
