From the very beginning, the default InnoDB transaction isolation level
REPEATABLE READ does not correspond to any well formed definition.
The main issue is the lack of write/write conflict detection.
To fix that and to make REPEATABLE READ correspond to Snapshot Isolation,
b8a6719889 introduced the Boolean
session variable innodb_snapshot_isolation. It was disabled by default
in order not to break any user applications.
In a new major version of MariaDB Server, we had better enable this
parameter by default.
storage/innobase/handler/handler0alter.cc:
for NEWDATE key_type says unsigned, thus col->prtype says unsigned,
but field->flags says signed. Use the same flag for value retrieval
that was used for value storage.
mysql-test/suite/innodb/r/innodb_information_schema.result:
The transaction is in REPEATABLE READ, since the
iso level was changed to SERIALIZABLE only for the
previous trx.
mysql-test/suite/innodb/t/innodb-semi-consistent.test:
'commit' was missing from the original patch
mysql-test/t/parser.test:
Moved the test for Bug#46527 to parser_not_embedded,
since "disconnect default" isn't allowed with
the embedded server.
mysql-test/t/parser_not_embedded.test:
Moved the test for Bug#46527 to parser_not_embedded,
since "disconnect default" isn't allowed with
the embedded server.
