standard table KEY_COLUMN_USAGE should only show keys where
a user has some privileges on every column of the key
standard table TABLE_CONSTRAINTS should show tables where
a user has any non-SELECT privilege on the table or on any column
of the table
standard table REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS is defined in terms of
TABLE_CONSTRAINTS, so the same rule applies. If the user
has no rights to see the REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME value, it should be NULL
SHOW INDEX (and STATISTICS table) is non-standard, but it seems
reasonable to use the same logic as for KEY_COLUMN_USAGE.
SUPER privilege used to allow various actions that were alternatively
allowed by one of BINLOG ADMIN, BINLOG MONITOR, BINLOG REPLAY,
CONNECTION ADMIN, FEDERATED ADMIN, REPL MASTER ADMIN, REPL SLAVE ADMIN,
SET USER, SLAVE MONITOR.
Now SUPER no longer does that, one has to grant one of the fine-grained
privileges above to be to perform corresponding actions.
On upgrade from MariaDB versions 10.11 and below all the privileges
above are granted automatically if the user has SUPER.
As a side-effect, such an upgrade will allow SUPER-user to run SHOW
BINLOG EVENTS, SHOW RELAYLOG EVENTS, SHOW SLAVE HOSTS, even if he wasn't
able to do it before the upgrade.
This was done after discussions with Igor, Sanja and Bar.
The main reason for removing the deprication was to ensure that MariaDB
is always backward compatible whenever possible.
Other things:
- Added statistics counters, mainly for the feedback plugin.
- INTO OUTFILE
- INTO variable
- If INTO is using the old syntax (end of query)
- Added missing information about database of corresponding table for various types of commands
- Update some typos
