Decimals with float, double and decimal now works the following way: - DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED is used when declaring DECIMALS without a firm number of decimals. It's only used in asserts and my_decimal_int_part. - FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS (31) is used to mark that a FLOAT or DOUBLE was defined without decimals. This is regarded as a floating point value. - Max decimals allowed for FLOAT and DOUBLE is FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS-1 - Clients assumes that float and double with decimals >= NOT_FIXED_DEC are floating point values (no decimals) - In the .frm decimals=FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS are used to define floating point for float and double (31, like before) To ensure compatibility with old clients we do: - When storing float and double, we change NOT_FIXED_DEC to FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS. - When creating fields from .frm we change for float and double FLOATING_POINT_DEC to NOT_FIXED_DEC - When sending definition for a float/decimal field without decimals to the client as part of a result set we convert NOT_FIXED_DEC to FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS. - variance() and std() has changed to limit the decimals to FLOATING_POINT_DECIMALS -1 to not get the double converted floating point. (This was to preserve compatiblity) - FLOAT and DOUBLE still have 30 as max number of decimals. Bugs fixed: variance() printed more decimals than we support for double values. New behaviour: - Strings now have 38 decimals instead of 30 when converted to decimal - CREATE ... SELECT with a decimal with > 30 decimals will create a column with a smaller range than before as we are trying to preserve the number of decimals. Other changes - We are now using the obsolete bit FIELDFLAG_LEFT_FULLSCREEN to specify decimals > 31 - NOT_FIXED_DEC is now declared in one place - For clients, NOT_FIXED_DEC is always 31 (to ensure compatibility). On the server NOT_FIXED_DEC is DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED (39) - AUTO_SEC_PART_DIGITS is taken from DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED - DOUBLE conversion functions are now using DECIMAL_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of NOT_FIXED_DEC |

=========================
1. The testsuite "funcs_1" is mostly intended for additional (compared
to the common regression tests stored in mysql-test/t) checks
of features (VIEWS, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, STORED PROCEDURES,...)
introduced with MySQL 5.0.
2. There were some extensions of this suite when new information_schema
views were introduced. But in most cases the tests for these views
were stored within the regression testsuite (mysql-test/t).
INFORMATION_SCHEMA views introduced with MySQL 5.1
==================================================
ENGINES (partially tested here)
EVENTS (partially tested here)
FILES
GLOBAL_STATUS
GLOBAL_VARIABLES
PARTITIONS
PLUGINS
PROCESSLIST (full tested here)
PROFILING
REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS
SESSION_STATUS
SESSION_VARIABLES
3. Some hints for maintainers of this suite:
- SHOW TABLES ... LIKE '<pattern>'
does a case sensitive comparison between the tablename and
the pattern.
The names of the tables within the informationschema are in uppercase.
So please use something like
SHOW TABLES FOR information_schema LIKE 'TABLES'
when you intend to get the same non empty result set on OS with and
without case sensitive filesystems and default configuration.
- The name of the data dictionary is 'information_schema' (lowercase).
- Server on OS with filesystem with case sensitive filenames
(= The files 'abc' and 'Abc' can coexist.)
+ default configuration
Example of behaviour:
DROP DATABASE information_schema;
ERROR 42000: Access denied for user ... to database 'information_schema'
DROP DATABASE INFORMATION_SCHEMA;
ERROR 42000: Access denied for user ... to database 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA'
- Try to unify results by
--replace_result $engine_type <engine_to_be_tested>
if we could expect that the results for storage engine variants of a
test differ only in the engine names.
This makes future maintenance easier.
- Avoid the use of include/show_msg*.inc.
They produce "SQL" noise which annoys during server debugging and can be
easy replaced by "--echo ...".
