This allows one to run the test suite even if any of the following
options are changed:
- character-set-server
- collation-server
- join-cache-level
- log-basename
- max-allowed-packet
- optimizer-switch
- query-cache-size and query-cache-type
- skip-name-resolve
- table-definition-cache
- table-open-cache
- Some innodb options
etc
Changes:
- Don't print out the value of system variables as one can't depend on
them to being constants.
- Don't set global variables to 'default' as the default may not
be the same as the test was started with if there was an additional
option file. Instead save original value and reset it at end of test.
- Test that depends on the latin1 character set should include
default_charset.inc or set the character set to latin1
- Test that depends on the original optimizer switch, should include
default_optimizer_switch.inc
- Test that depends on the value of a specific system variable should
set it in the test (like optimizer_use_condition_selectivity)
- Split subselect3.test into subselect3.test and subselect3.inc to
make it easier to set and reset system variables.
- Added .opt files for test that required specfic options that could
be changed by external configuration files.
- Fixed result files in rockdsb & tokudb that had not been updated for
a while.
Bug#37167 funcs_1: Many tests fail if the embedded server is used.
Bug#37164 funcs_1: Some tests fail if an optional character set is missing.
+ some cleanup within the testsuite related to the fixes above
+ some adjustments to open bugs on Mac OS X
Details:
- Remove the initial loading of data from tests if these data
are not somewhere retrieved
- Remove any use of columns with attribute unicode
(-> UCS2 is no more needed) from tests where unicode
properties are not checked or somehow required
- Create a separate branch of the Character maximum length test
(CML). If UCS2 is available than this test gets applied to
every available type of string column with attribute unicode
This prevents any loss of coverage by the points above.
- Disable the execution of is_tables_ndb which gives wrong
results because of a bug. Correct the exepected results of
this test.
- In case of tests failing when applied to the embedded server
1) Create a variant of this test for the embedded server
or
2) Skip the test in case of embedded server
depending on purpose and complexity of test.
- Skip the tests which could suffer from
Bug 28309 First insert violates unique constraint - was "memory" table empty ?
Bug 37380 Test funcs_1.is_columns_myisam_embedded fails on OS X
(both bugs Mac OS X, embedded server, MySQL 5.0 only)
- Minor improvements like remove typos
